Error filter to differentiate between reverse link and forward link video data errors

A system comprising:

• a transceiver to receive an indication of a video data error detected by a video decoder;
• a video encoder;
• and
• an error filter to determine whether the video data error occurred on a reverse link of a wireless network between the video encoder and a network device,
• wherein the video encoder is configured to apply error control in response to the indication of the video data error if the video data error did not occur on the reverse link.

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable medium comprising:
• instructions to cause a computer to receive an indication of a video data error detected by a video decoder;
• instructions to cause a computer to determine whether the video data error occurred on a reverse link of a wireless network between a video encoder and a network device;
• and
• instructions to cause a computer to apply error control in response to the video data error if the video data error did not occur on the reverse link and not apply error control in response to the video data error if the video data error occurred on the reverse link.

A system comprising:

• means for receiving an indication of a video data error detected by a video decoder;
• means for determining whether the video data error occurred on a reverse link of a wireless network between a video encoder and a network device;
• and
• means for applying error control in response to the video data error if the video data error did not occur on the reverse link and not applying error control in response to the video data error if the video data error occurred on the reverse link.
