Abstract
A method for decoding multiple descriptions for a media stream includes decoding at least one of a first description and a second description from the media bitstream, wherein the first description and the second description are associated with a current sample of the media bitstream and independently decodable; based on a determination that the second description is missing, reconstructing, by a decoder, the current sample by performing a third shifting operation on the first description, wherein the third shifting operation on the first description comprises left shifting the first description by one bit; and based on a determination that both the first description and the second description have been received, reconstructing, by the decoder, the current sample by summing the first description and the second description. An encoding method is also provided.
