H.264/AVC for Wireless Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Video transmission in wireless environments is a challenging task calling for high compression efficiency as well as a network friendly design. These have been major goals of the H.264/AVC standardization effort addressing “conversational” (i.e., video telephony) and “non-conversational” (i.e., storage, broadcast, or streaming) applications. The video compression performance of the H.264/AVC Video Coding Layer typically provides a significant improvement. The network-friendly design goal of H.264/AVC is addressed via the Network Abstraction Layer that has been developed to transport the coded video data over any existing and future networks including wireless systems. The main objective of this paper is to provide an overview over the tools which are likely to be used in wireless environments and discusses the most challenging application, wireless conversational services in greater detail. Appropriate justifications for the application of different tools based on experimental results are presented.

متن کاملRobust System and Cross-Layer Design for H.264/AVC-Based Wireless Video Applications
H.264/AVC is an essential component in emerging wireless video applications, thanks to its excellent compression efficiency and network-friendly design. However, a video coding standard itself is only a single component within a complex system. Its effectiveness strongly depends on the appropriate configuration of encoders, decoders, as well as transport and network features. The applicability ...

Quality of Experience (QoE) management is a prime topic of research community nowadays as video streaming, online gaming and security applications are completely reliant on the network service quality. Moreover, there are no standard models to map Quality of Service (QoS) into QoE. HTTP media streaming is primarily used for such applications due to its coherence with the Internet and simplified...
متن کاملVery Low Bit-Rate Video Coding by Combining H.264/AVC Standard and 2-D Discrete Wavelet Transform
In this paper, we propose a new method for very low bit-rate video coding that combines H.264/AVC standard and two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform. In this method, first a two dimensional wavelet transform is applied on each video frame independently to extract the low frequency components for each frame and then the low frequency parts of all frames are coded using H.264/AVC codec. On t...

In this work we show the suitability of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC extended profile for wireless video streaming applications. In particular, we exploit the advanced bit stream switching capabilities using SP/SI pictures defined in the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard. For both types of switching pictures, optimized encoders are developed. We introduce a framework for dynamic switching and frame scheduling. For...
