Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the effect of path correlation on video communications when path-diversity routing techniques are employed together with forward error correction (FEC). We study the statistical properties of packet losses when correlation between paths exists and demonstrate that the effects of path correlation on received video quality depend on various factors, such as the effectiveness of error control strategies (passive error concealment, FEC, etc.) and the existing channel conditions. We demonstrate that, contrary to common belief, path correlation need not be detrimental to the system performance. The results are expected to have some impact on the development of explicit multi-path routing strategies.
