Abstract: In this paper, we compare the performance of the diversity approach at the application layer and that at the physical layer for H.264/AVC encoded streaming video transmission in a wireless system with two independent channels. The application layer diversity is achieved by using multiple description source coding, while the physical layer diversity is obtained by channel coding over the two channels. Numerical results show that the PHY layer diversity always outperforms the application layer diversity.
