Abstract

The transmission of real-time images and video over wireless communication channels is a challenging problem. Digital compressed images are sensitive to bit errors which are typical in wireless communications. Moreover, the bandwidth at the air interface is currently a limiting factor because the first and second generation of mobile phone standards mainly support voice communications. We present a study of real-time image traffic over a radio link-the aim of this research is for videophone applications. We use the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to compress images and a code division multiple access (CDMA) link to transfer images over wireless communications network. The experiment results indicate that it is possible to transfer 9-12 QCIF gray scale images per second over a CDMA link with graceful degradation in image quality.
