Abstract

The DVB-H standard allows broadcasting of audio and video content to mobile terminals that have to face strict requirements concerning computational load and power consumption. Given the already intensive effort required by the decoding of the H.264/AVC video data stream, it is important to implement low complexity strategies for the concealment of the data losses. They are likely to happen, given the error prone nature of the wireless environment. The aim is to provide an acceptable video quality to the final user, without strongly affecting the resources available to the mobile device.
