Analyzing video compression for transporting over wireless fading channels
Abstract
Wireless video communication is becoming increasingly popular these days with new
applications such as TV on mobile and video phones. Commercial success of these
applications requires superior video quality at the receiver. So it is imperative to analyze
the effect of a wireless channel on a video transmission. The aim of this research is to
analyze the video transmission over Rayleigh fading channels for various bit error rates
(BER), signal to noise ratios (Eb/N0) and Doppler rates, and to suggest which source
coding scheme is best at which BER, Eb/N0 and Doppler rates. Alternative schemes
such as hybrid (digital/analog) schemes were considered and their performances were
compared with pure digital communication. It is also shown that the combination of
digital and analog video communication does not yield any better performance compared
to pure digital video communication.
