A comprehensive presentation of the video communication techniquesand systems, this book examines 4G wireless systems which are setto revolutionise ubiquitous multimedia communication.4G WirelessVideo Communications covers the fundamental theory and looks atsystems' descriptions with a focus on digital video. Itaddresses the key topics associated with multimedia communicationon 4G networks, including advanced video coding standards, errorresilience and error concealment techniques, as well as advancedcontent-analysis and adaptation techniques for videocommunications, cross-layer design and optimization frameworks andmethods. It also provides a high-level overview of the digitalvideo compression standard MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 that is expected toplay a key role in 4G networks.
Material is presented logically allowing readers to turndirectly to specific points of interest. The first half of the bookcovers fundamental theory and systems, while the second half movesonto advanced techniques and applications. This book is a timelyreflection of the latest advances in video communications for 4Gwireless systems.
