Wireless Video
Call for Papers
Video transport is becoming increasingly important for a large variety of applications and networks. Wireless information exchange will be dominated by basic human communication such as messaging, voice, and video communication. Because of its typically large bandwidth requirements, video communication will emerge as the dominant and most critical form of traffic in and beyond 3G/4G wireless systems. Digital video transmission over wireless connections has proven to be a challenging task, given the hostile communication environment, characterized by unpredictable connection quality and significant error rates, a limited available bandwidth, and severe energy constraints. When developing a reliable and effective video transmission system over a wireless-based network, many different technical problems must be addressed, some of which may be application- or network-specific.
This special issue will focus on the most recent advances in applications involving video communication over wireless links. For example, P2P or multicast streaming applications will be addressed, in which the scalability characteristics of the audiovisual codecs may be exploited to define new scheduling and prioritization algorithms for the efficient delivery of time-sensitive traffic. Video transmission over wireless LANs with critical bandwidth requirements and severe energy constraints, such as sensor networks, will also be addressed.
