Examples of Test Video Files:

Nomenclature: Video Sequence Name_Cross Layer Scheme_Channel SNR (Four schemes are denoted as SI, SII, SIII and SIV as in the paper)

Foreman Video (CIF, 352x288) for the four cross-layer FEC schemes over AWGN channel and Fading channel (Es/No = 1.25dB).  Although the video PSNR drops by >5dB (compared to the error-free video quality) due to significant channel induced packet losses, S-IV scheme has better video quality (>1.6dB PSNR gain for AWGN channel and >2.8dB for fading channel) than the remaining three schemes.

(These are zipped files using WinRAR. The evaluation copy of WinRAR can be downloaded for free)

Stefan Video (CIF, 352x288) for the four cross-layer FEC schemes over AWGN channel and Fading channel. Although the video PSNR drops by >3.6dB in fading channel (SNR = 1.5dB) and >6.3dB in AWGN channel (SNR = 0.75dB) (compared to the error-free quality) due to significant channel induced packet losses, S-IV scheme has better video quality than the remaining three schemes.

Bus Video (CIF, 352x288) for the four cross-layer FEC schemes over AWGN channel and Fading channel (Es/No = 1.25dB). S-IV scheme has better video quality than the remaining three schemes.
