Wireless communications is one of the most active areas of research over the past and the current decades. In fact, the demand for wireless services has been changing from the regular voice telephony services to mixed voice, data, and multimedia services over the wireless media. Since the mid-1990s, the wireless industry has...
Compressed Video Communications addresses the compression and transmission of coded video streams over mobile IP networks. By analysing a broad spectrum of compression techniques and error resilience algorithms this book provides realistic solutions to the problems of quality degradation and transmission error.
'Next Generation' refers to the new technologies and services that telecommunications operators will have at their disposal as they create new 3G networks where voice and data converge and which are based on packet switched rather than circuit switched telephony.
Providing a much needed overview of the latest communication technologies...
