Efficient bit stream adaptation and resilience to packet losses are two critical requirements in
scalable video coding for transmission over packet-lossy networks. Various scalable layers …

In this paper, we propose a novel joint source-channel coding (JSCC) scheme for scalable
video transmission over multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. By exploiting the …

Following its success over wired networks, the deployment of the Internet Protocol (IP) over
wireless networks is an increasingly popular topic. Protocol optimisations implemented at …

In recent years, with the dramatic improvement on scalability of H. 264/MPEG-4 standard
and growing demand for new multimedia services have spurred the research on scalable …

Real-time video applications, such as videoconferencing, videophony, and on-demand
video streaming, have gained increased popularity. However, a key problem of video …

In this work, a novel methodology for the efficient multiplexing and streaming of MPEG4
video over wireless networks is presented and discussed. The proposed cross-layer …

Mobility, made available by today's communication networks, imposes several limitations in
the design of multimedia applications, due to high error rates, reduced bandwidth, strong …

In this paper, we investigate resource allocation of video multicast over resource-
constrained wireless networks. The video multicast is a best-effort service which suffers from …

In this paper, the problem of transmitting embedded bitstreams over wireless packet
networks is considered. In particular, the authors address the problem of optimal energy …

Video streaming applications have gained in popularity in recent years. The quality of
service offered by such applications is limited by the available transmission rates as well as …
