The coding flexibility and efficiency of \ac{hevc}, results from the use of new coding tools and block structures, which enables new block partitions\cite{HEVCBlock2012}, improved prediction modes \cite{IntraCodingHEVC2012,AMPCodingHEVCJun2012} and new high-level features~\cite{HEVCHighLevelReferenceDez2012}, such as explicit reference picture management and new parameter sets.
|
||||
However, it is known that higher coding efficiency leads to lower robustness to transmission errors and data loss.
|
||||
Therefore, the new coding tools in \ac{hevc} bring not only high compression efficiency~\cite{HEVCComparisonDec2012}, but also some other disadvantages, such as increased complexity~\cite{PerformanceComplexityDez2012} and inherent reduction in error robustness.

Earlier studies about the error robustness characteristics of \ac{hevc} have shown that in general the use of high efficiency coding tools results in poor error resilience performance, in comparison with previous standards.
|

Thus, when \ac{hevc} streams incur in transmission losses, this leads to significant degradation of both objective and subjective quality~\cite{QoEHEVCMay2014,SubjectiveEvalSep2013}.

In summary, increasing the error robustness of the highly compressed video streams is a relevant research problem whose solutions will be useful to increase the adaptability for transmission diverse network conditions and to achieve robust communications in order to provide acceptable levels of \ac{qoe} to the end users at all times.
|
||||
In general, increased error robustness in video transmission can be jointly achieved at three different stages: (i) using robust video encoding, by selecting robust coding modes, (ii) after encoding, by adding robust features to the compressed streams as side-information and (iii) using robust video decoding techniques, e.g., efficient \ac{ec}. This is exemplified in Figure~\ref{FIG1:RobustVideoTransmission} where at the encoder different layer are used to increase the error robustness, which results in a video stream composed by a \ac{vcl} and \ac{sei} layers. Finally, at the decoder two processing layers are used to achieve robust video decoding.
|
||||
The \ac{hevc} reference codec is continuously being improved and extended development by multiple proponents from around the world, also addressing the problem of error resilience and robust delivered transmission
|
||||
Although the \ac{ec} methods have been developed during the past years for \ac{h264}~\cite{2DRecursiveRefinement2010} and recently for \ac{hevc}~\cite{HEVCMCBlockAug2013}, a combined and optimised approach between encoder and decoder is yet to be developed, which would improve the users’ \ac{qoe} by exploiting shared information between the encoder and the decoder sides.
