Abstract: Video conference is an attractive and promising application which allows immersive communication and discussion among people at different and distant places. However, its stringent delay and bandwidth requirements limit its scale and spread over current internet. This paper attempts to introduce the prosperous technology of network coding (NC) into video conference to minimise the maximal transmission delay between source and all the participants while retaining high bandwidth utilisation at the same time. Extensive numerical analysis and PlanetLab experiments demonstrate that the proposed innovative NC scheme can significantly improve the delay performance for video conference like multi-party interactive multimedia applications than conventional application level multicast.
