SMART PACKET PACING FOR VIDEO FRAME STREAMING

In various examples, a frame may be encoded as multiple sub-frames. For example, data particularly relevant to conveying visual motion between frames may be encoded in a first sub-frame(s) with remaining data being encoded in a second sub-frame(s). Other information may be included in the first sub-frame(s), such as high entropy data. The high entropy data may be estimated using quantization and dequantization of macroblocks. Packet pacing may be applied at least between the encoded sub-frames. As the first sub-frame(s) may include the most important information for frame updates at the client device, if the second sub-frame(s) is not received and/or displayed the first sub-frame may be displayed providing high quality results. More error correction may be used for the first sub-frame than the second sub-frame to increase the likelihood that the first sub-frame is received at a client device.
