Abstract
Multimedia applications such as video conference, digital
video broadcasting (DVB), and streaming video and audio
have been gaining popularity during the last years,
growing also among mobile users. Quality of Service
requirements for multimedia over wireless raises huge
challenges not only concerning the physical bandwidth,
but also the network design and services. This has to be
addressed by future 4G systems. To this end, joint source
and channel coding (JSCC) has provided promising results;
however, the proposed mechanisms typically do not provide
IP network support. In this paper we present an
architecture for JSCC systems designed for an IP network
with end-to-end overall optimisation. All necessary
mechanisms for transmitting the joint optimisation
control information over wired and wireless network using
cross-layer design are also described. Finally, partial
simulation results obtained with this system design and
H.264/AVC video input are presented.
