The past decade has seen many advances in physical layer wireless communication theory
and their implementation in wireless systems. This textbook takes a unified view of the …

Wireless technology is a truly revolutionary paradigm shift, enabling multimedia
communications between people and devices from any location. It also underpins exciting …

This article focuses on the compressed representations of pictures. The representation does
not affect how many bits get from the Web server to the laptop, but it determines the …

This paper addresses the problem of streaming packetized media over a lossy packet
network in a rate-distortion optimized way. We show that although the data units in a media …

The transmission of JPEG2000 images over wireless channels is examined using
reorganization of the compressed images into error-resilient, product-coded streams. The …

A novel image transmission scheme is proposed for the communication of set partitioning in
hierarchical trees image streams over wireless channels. The proposed scheme employs …

This article focuses on FEC for scalable image coders. For various channel models, we
survey recent progress made in system design and discuss efficient source-channel bit …

In this paper, we present a family of new algorithms for rate-fidelity optimal packetization of
scalable source bit streams with uneven error protection. In the most general setting where …

The digital revolution in digital image processing has made it possible to create, manipulate
and transmit digital images in a simple and fast manner. The adverse affect of this is that the …

Reliable real-time transmission of packetized embedded multimedia data over noisy
channels requires the design of fast error control algorithms. For packet erasure channels …
