Abstract
An Automatic Repeat request (ARQ) error correction method optimized for protecting real-time audio-video streams for transmission over packet-switched networks. Embodiments of this invention provide bandwidth-efficient and low-latency ARQ for both variable and constant bit-rate audio and video streams. Embodiments of this invention use timing constraints to limit ARQ latency and thereby facilitate the use of ARQ packet recovery for the transport of both constant bit rate and variable bit rate media streams.
