Modifying the Encoder
- In contrast to Srini's proposal, we would like to look at modifying the encoder in order to make decisions about which blocks to drop. In this case, the decoder need only decide how many blocks to drop. The encoder would categorize and arrange the blocks in the stream so that the "important" blocks are sent first, enabling the decoder to drop the last n blocks without even decoding them.
- One issue to be addressed in the encoder: how do we decide which blocks are more important?
