Video Transmission Using Diversity

"To Bug is Human;To Debug is Divine"

Firstly, a single encoded Video Stream has been separated into 3 separate files in the decreasing order of importance(let's say I,P and B files). Then, the reverse operation that is merging these 3 files into the original Bitstream has been done using a program merge.c. This would be helpful at the receiving end.

Now, we need to send the three files from the source to the receiver with the additional help of a relay. But, instead of sending all the three files using the relay we just send the file of highest importance ie I file. This can give us lots of savings.

Note that no channel coding has been applied to the three encoded bitstreams. This forms a later part of my Thesis.
