Abstract
The layered H.264/SVC video format, which is currently
under standardization, allows scalable encoding and,
thus, creates new opportunities for video delivery in a
unified manner. However, video streaming over different
wireless access technologies (from WLAN to WiMAX to 3G
WWANs) remains challenging. After briefly introducing the
issues at hand, we present a crosslayer architecture
developed within the EU IST PHOENIX project, which
jointly optimizes source and channel rates aiming at
maximizing wireless link utilization and improving the
userperceived video quality. Our proposal capitalizes on
recent advances in scalable, layered video encoding and
provides a platform for future development.
