An approach based on adaptive congestion control and adaptive error recovery with RS (Reed-Solomon) coding method is presented for efficient video transmission over the Internet. Featured by weighted moving average rate control and TCP-friendliness, AVSP, a novel adaptive video streaming protocol, is designed with adjustable rate control parameters so as to respond quickly to the QoS status fluctuation during video transmission over the Internet. Combined with congestion control policy, an adaptive RS coding error recovery scheme with variable parameters is presented to enhance the robustness of MPEG video transmission over the Internet with restriction to the total system bandwidth.
