Power saving control for the mobile DVB-H receivers based on H.264/SVC standard

Abstract

This paper discusses the utilization of scalable extension of H.264/AVC standard in digital video broadcasting for handheld devices. In this area the problem of mobile receiver power consumption is critically important. This paper amplifies the well-known idea of the time-slicing and allows the receiver to control the trade-off between video quality and power saving in the receiver depending on the priorities.
