    摘要: The present invention relates to a new error control paradigm in a packet switched network that is particularly advantageous for multicast transmission.A transmission Status Vector TSV (T) is updated at the sender side whenever a new outgoing data packet (Dj−1) is scheduled for transmission. A corresponding Reception status Vector RSV (R) is similarly updated at the receive side whenever a new incoming and correctly indexed data packet (Dj−1) is validly received.As soon as a missing or corrupted data packet (Dj) is detected, the update of the RSV is suspended. A request is then sent to the sender to get the current Tsv's value, or a part thereof. The erroneous data packet is then recovered from the current TSV's value (Sk,m), from the lastly updated RSV's value (Sj−1), and from otherwise validly received data packets (Dj+1, . . . , Dk).The present invention more specifically relates to a transmitting unit (100) and a receiving unit (200) implementing that paradigm, and correspondingly to a method for protecting a flow of indexed data packets against data lost or data corruption, and a method for recovering a missing or corrupted data packet within a flow of indexed data packets.

A network unit according to the invention is characterized in that the video transmitting means is further adapted to transmit the video channel within the dedicated multimedia stream ahead of time with respect to transmission of the video channel within the common multimedia stream, and in that the video channel is to be initially played at an averagely slower motion speed (β, β′, β″, β′″), thereby allowing transmission of the video channel to be resumed with the common multimedia stream. The present invention also relates to a decoding device, to a method for transmitting a video channel, and to a method for receiving and playing that video video channel.

    摘要: Method for streaming video content from a video server entity to a client entity via a core network and an aggregation network connected through an edge node. The server entity can be either the origin server or a serving node in a CDN that acts as a surrogate server. The video content is offered by the video server entity as a set of consecutive fragments (or chunks or segments), each fragment of this set of consecutive fragments being offered in a plurality of quality levels corresponding to respective encoded bit rates. The method comprises the steps of: transmitting via the network from said client entity to said video server entity via said edge node one or more requests for fragments with a target quality level of said video content to be displayed at said client entity; and receiving at said client entity via said network one or more replies to the requests containing fragments with said target quality levels. The method further comprises the steps of said edge node evaluating the available throughput for said client entity to transmit said fragments to said client entity over said aggregation network and said edge node informing said client entity about said available throughput.
