Abstract
In this paper, we consider real-time video coding and transmission over packet-switched wireless IP networks, such as WLAN, using RCPT codes and joint source-channel coding (JSCC) with concentration on a packet-by-packet adaptive scheme. We present a systematic design methodology to enable the applicability of JSCC techniques. The performance of H.263+ video coding and transmission over wireless channel modeled as slow Rician fading channels using this approach is studied. Results indicate that a packet-by-packet adaptive RCPT-JSCC approach is of significant advantage for real-time video applications and leads to more acceptable video delivery quality over interference-limited and time-varying wireless networks.
