We first develop a rate-distortion (RD) model for DCT-based video coding incorporating the
macroblock (MB) intra refreshing rate. For any given bit rate and intra refreshing rate, this …

This paper addresses the resource allocation problem for multiple media streaming over the
Internet. First, we present an end-to-end transport architecture for multimedia streaming over …

With the emergence of broadband wireless networks and increasing demand of multimedia
information on the Internet, wireless multimedia services are foreseen to become widely …

The paper addresses the important issues of resource allocation for scalable video
transmission over third generation (3G) wireless networks. By taking the time-varying …

A major challenge in video encoding and transmission over wireless networks is that the
channel is error-prone while the compressed video data is highly sensitive to errors. The …

The authors considered numerical methods of structural optimization of modular
electrodynamic objects and selected some effective procedures that allow creating objects …

The conceptual shift in the expectations of the wireless users from voice towards multimedia,
from availability towards acceptable quality, and from stand-alone towards group-oriented …

The paper discusses the characteristic features of complexly structured objects, identifies the
type of objects with structurally variable control. The properties of objects of the considered …

Multimedia proxy plays an important role in multimedia streaming over wireless Internet.
Since wireless network exhibits different characteristics from the Internet, multimedia proxy …

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been applied in broadband wireline
and wireless systems for high data rate transmission where severe intersymbol interference …
