The unique hierarchical structure of MPEG-4 streams calls for special measures at the MAC layer, in order to improve the quality of service (QoS). In this paper, we propose a frame-decodability aware (FDA) technique to make the scheduling algorithms aware of the hierarchical structure and decoding dependencies in MPEG-4 streams. Simulation results show that the FDA technique can significantly reduce the decoding failure rate of various scheduling algorithms, under MPEG-4 traffic.}, issn = {1550-3607}, author = {Moradi, S. and Wong, V.W.S.} }
