A study on the HEVC performance over lossy networks

The high level of compression achieved by HEVC raises a question regarding its error-resilience performance extremely compressed data over an imperfect medium. In this paper, we study the behavior of this newly developed video coding standard over diverse networking scenarios. It is shown that HEVC is less error resilient compared to H.264/AVC, especially in the scenes with high amount of motion, in exchange of a significantly reduced bandwidth.
