Table 2 Test conditions used in the audio-only, video-only and audiovisual tests. CBR: constant bit rate, PLR: uniform packet loss rate, processing was done generating different loss traces; PLC: packet loss concealment.

  1. AC: advanced audio coding; LC: low complexity.
  2. E-AAC: high efficiency advanced audio coding.
  3. n case of packet loss, the picture freezes until the next intact I-frame arrives; the frames in between are skipped in our case.
  4. slice typically corresponds to a certain area of the image that—if affected by loss—the decoder fills with data from the same, previous, or following video frame.
