Abstract
This research centers on providing digital video on demand to portable receivers through wireless communications. The three main technological issues for wireless video communication are compression efficiency, error recovery, and low-power implementation. The algorithmic goal is to develop compression algorithms that maintain consistent visual quality for image and video signals transmitted over a noisy channel. These algorithms must therefore provide efficient compression and provisions for recovery in situations of severely degraded transmission. The hardware goal is to demonstrate low-power decoder modules that implement the decompression algorithms with recovery capability for lost information.
