ABSTRACT
This chapter describes wireless video that has been commercialized recently or is expected to go to market in third-generation and beyond mobile networks, mainly covering the corresponding technologies. It presents a general framework that takes into account multiple factors, including source coding, channel resource allocation, and error concealment, for the design of energy-efficient wireless video communication systems. The chapter deals with the H.264/AVC standard in the wireless video environment, together with a video coding and decoding algorithm, network integration, compression efficiency, error resilience, and bit error adaptivity. It discusses a short overview of video over wireless and seeks to describe an energy-efficient wireless communication system. The chapter outlines of the H.264/AVC standard in the wireless video environment. Although wireless video communications is highly desirable in many applications, a major limitation in any wireless system is the fact that mobile devices typically depend on a battery with a limited energy supply.
