This paper aims at the concurrence of Internet heterogeneities of bandwidth and packet loss rate and presents a new error control scheme LM-FEC for Internet multimedia group communications, by combining the idea of layered multicast and receiver-driven into FEC-based error control technology. In LM-FEC, layered multimedia source packets and FEC verifying packets of each source layer are multicast by the sender in different groups, therefore the receiver can implement error control on a flexible receiver-driven way. According to the available bandwidth and packet loss rate of the channel, which may change dynamically, and the real-time requirement from multimedia information, the receiver enters into or quits from some of multicast groups to obtain the reconstruction multimedia information with quality as best as possible. An FH-MDP model is used to describe receiver's action. Receiver decides its policy with JSCC rate-distortion optimization. The optimization is solved with variable alternation scheme and dynamic programming algorithm. Simulative experiments are implemented to evaluate the performance of LM-FEC compared with PET and RLM in Internet multimedia multicast communications. The results show considerable gains on reconstructed video quality can be obtained with LM-FEC.
