Video Transmission In Wireless Multihop Networks

Abstract

Multi hop wireless networks are being deployed in many video streaming applications because they have several potential features for next generation wireless communications. Though optimal encoding techniques offers significant quality retention in video transmission still it is insufficient to overcome the challenges ahead over wireless network transmission. In order to support wide range video communications in an efficient way certain Quality of service has to be retained in multi hop wireless network. To address this issue, this paper investigates several encoding and routing protocols video delivery over multi hop wireless networks. Specifically, we first investigate several encoding framework for videos and wireless data transmission over WMNs through individual paths; we then investigate the challenges ahead to formulate resistant routing model for least possible video quality dictions which incorporate channel status as well as the encoder properties over video characteristics. In this framework, routing techniques which can maximally used to achieve good video traffic with improved system performance. However, video streaming also have very stringent delay requirements, which makes it difficult to find optimal routes with the least possible distortions. To address this problem, we investigate several enhanced version of packet scheduling techniques for video communications over multi path multi hob multi user wireless network environment.
