A method for recovering transmission errors, comprising: receiving a data packet comprising an error detection code associated to data contained in the packet, wherein the data associated to the error detection code comprises primary data and secondary data, checking the error detection code of the received packet to detect an erroneous state of the associated data, when the erroneous state is detected, determining a finite set of candidate values for the primary data and, for each values of the set: determining a marginal likelihood of the candidate value as a function of the error detection code of the received packet, determining a first correlation between the primary data of the received packet and the candidate value, and selecting a corrected value for the primary data among the set of candidate values as a function of said marginal likelihoods and said first correlations.

Recovery of transmission errors

A process for delivering a video stream over a bidirectional wireless channel between a video encoder and a video decoder, is provided. The video frames of the video stream are encoded by determining predictions for defined partitions of the video frames, a prediction being based on at least one reference area of a reference frame of the video stream; one motion vector associated to said reference area; and a weighting factor associated to said reference area. The difference between partition and corresponding predicted partition is done to establish a partition residual, the encoded video stream with partition residual are transmitted to the video decoder to decode predicted partition, decoded partition of the video frame being formed by combination of decoded predicted partition and corresponding partition residual. A transmission error probability of the decoded partition is fed back to the video encoder.
