There is somewhat similar concept of Bitrate peeling [1] in Ogg Vorbis. You can drop portion of the stream without transcoding and still be able to decode original audio at lower bitrate. With proper over-the-air modulation and multiplexing scheme (like ADSL interleaving), one should be able to have graceful degradation of digital audio.

- voxadam 9y agoBitrate peeling is a beautiful concept, it's too bad that it was never implemented.
- madengr 9y agoProblem is the fading. You could drop the bitrate to boost the link margin a few dB, which works fine for SATCOM, but it won't help with deep fades. Putting two antennas on the car for diversity reception would work much better; surprised no one is doing it.
- xyzfoobarbaz 9y agoOnly cheap car radios do not do diversity. A lot of cars have three antennas and three or more tuners. You do not see all antennas, with a lot of cars you do not see any radio antenna.
- madengr 9y agoHa ha, I guess my cars are too cheap. I have never had a car with more than one VHF antenna.
