Video communications methods using network packet segmentation and unequal protection protocols, and wireless devices and vehicles that utilize such methods
First Claim
1. A video communications method comprising:
- segmenting an image frame or an image frame portion into a first source network packet block and a second source network packet block, wherein the first source network packet block comprises a first number of source network packets and the second network packet block comprises a second number of source network packets;
encoding the first source network packet block to produce a first encoded network packet block and encoding the second source network packet block to produce a second encoded network packet block, wherein the first encoded network packet block comprises a first number of encoded network packets and the second encoded network packet block comprises a second number of encoded network packets, and wherein the first number of encoded network packets is greater than or equal to the first number of source network packets and the second number of encoded network packets is greater than or equal to the second number of source network packets; and
transmitting the first encoded network packet block and the second encoded network packet block over a wireless network.

Abstract
A video communications method includes segmenting an image frame or an image frame portion into first and second source network packet blocks. The first source network packet block includes a first number of source network packets and the second network packet block includes a second number of source network packets. The method further includes encoding the first source network packet block to produce a first encoded network packet block and encoding the second source network packet block to produce a second encoded network packet block. The first encoded network packet block includes a first number of encoded network packets and the second encoded network packet block includes a second number of encoded network packets. Still further, the method includes transmitting the first and second encoded network packet blocks over a wireless network. A wireless device and a vehicle may utilize the video communications method.
