Using Erasure Codes to Enable Interactions over Networks

Cloud gaming platforms such as Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce NOW can experience stalls, lags, jitter, and pixelation when delivered over wireless networks such as Wi-Fi, 5G, and Starlink. In this talk from the workshop on Application-Driven Coding Theory, Mike Luby (BitRipple) describes solutions that eliminate these issues, providing a much improved end-user experience. These solutions enable interactive applications such as cloud gaming, AR/VR, teleoperation of drones and robots, and remote collaboration, and they are easy to integrate into existing services.
