Object-Based Audio Streaming Over Error-Prone Channels

This paper investigates the benefits of streaming autonomous audio objects over error-prone channels instead of encoded audio frames. Due to the nature of autonomous audio objects such a scheme is error resilient and has a fine-grain scalable bitrate, but also has the additional benefit of being able to disguise packet loss in the reconstructed signal. This paper proposes objectpacking algorithms which will be shown to be able to disguise the presence of long bursts of packet loss, removing the need for complex error-concealment schemes at the decoder.
