Duplication of Key Frames of Video Streams in Wireless Networks

Abstract: In this paper technological solutions for improving the quality of video transfer along wireless networks are investigated. Tools have been developed to allow packets to be duplicated with key frames data. In the paper we tested video streams with duplication of all frames, with duplication of key frames, and without duplication. The experiments showed that the best results are obtained by duplication of packages which contain key frames. The paper also provides an overview of the coefficients describing the dependence of video quality on packet loss and delay variation (network jitter).
