A Video Compression Method for Wireless Transmission

Abstract:

With the ever-increasing expansion of wireless voice and data plan demands, bandwidth constrained wireless channels intervened with mobility issues lay out a great challenge in the hardware configuration, software development and algorithm design of communication systems. This paper presents our work on a modular and standards-independent DSP-based testbed designed for real-time video communication over low-bandwidth channels. In particular, the real-time transmission of MPEG-4 video and JPEG2000 still images over the Bluetooth wireless standard is demonstrated here. The testbed was designed to explore the possibilities, demands, and challenges of real-time wireless video transmission. The work could have tremendous near-future applications.
