Abstract

A media-specific forward error correction FEC is used to prevent the loss of audio packets due to noise or interference in the transmission and buffer overflow in the router. In this FEC scheme, for nth packet, the redundant data are added in n+ï th packet where ï is called the offset. In this paper, we consider an M/M/1/K queueing system and derive some simple expressions for calculating the audio qualities of the aforementioned schemes. We analytically and numerically show some counter-examples and characteristics for these FEC schemes by using our analytical model. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On using forward error correction for loss recovery in optical burst switched networks

An important issue in optical burst switched (OBS) networks is the loss of bursts at intermediate nodes due to contention. Such contention losses, usually do not mean a situation of congestion. In this paper, we propose for the first time, a loss ...
