Data Transmission Oriented on the Object, Communication Media, Application, and State of Communication Systems

The proposed communication system architecture is called TOMAS, which stands for data Transmission oriented on the Object, communication Media, Application, and state of communication Systems. TOMAS could be considered a Cross-Layer Interface (CLI) proposal, since it refers to multiple layers of the Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model (OSI). Given particular scenarios of image transmission over a wireless LOS channel, the wireless TOMAS system demonstrates superior performance compared to a JPEG2000+OFDM system in restored image quality parameters over a wide range of wireless channel parameters. A wireless TOMAS system provides progressive lossless image transmission under influence of moderate fading without any kind of channel coding and estimation. The TOMAS system employs a patent pending fast analysis/synthesis algorithm, which does not use any multiplications, and it uses three times less real additions than the one of JPEG2000+OFDM.
