Quality of Video Streaming: Taxonomy

Real-time and live video streaming are very important topics in networks nowadays, either wired or wireless, and so it is significant to address and study the behavior, advantages, and disadvantages of different techniques and algorithms. This article presents a comprehensive overview for researchers who are willing to conduct research in video compression standards, error correction algorithms for improving the quality of video streaming, forward error correction codes with feedback and forward error correction algorithms with unequal loss (or error) protection techniques for enhancing video streaming quality, description about the layered video streaming, single and multi-paths video streaming, good description about video streaming over wireless networks, the problem of erasure packets and packet erasure networks/packet erasure Channels, layered coding compression techniques, error detecting and correcting algorithms, Unequal Error Protection (UEP) techniques and schemes, multipath video streaming, and recent researches that based on hybrid solutions over 3G, 4G, 5G, WiMAX, and Wi-Fi wireless networks.
