Definition:Interleaved audio transmission is a packet loss resilience technique based on sending alternate audio samples in different packets.

Interleaved audio transmission is a technique that is sometimes used to alleviate network loss and act as a packet loss resilience mechanism [1] [2]. The idea is to send alternate audio samples in different packets, as opposed to sending consecutive samples in the same packet. The difference between the two approaches is shown in Figure 1.
