Performance analysis of the wireless hypermedia system

Abstract

The wireless hypermedia system (WHS) is introduced and analyzed. The system is used to broadcast multimedia information such as news, weather information or advertising and commercial information. The role of the transmitter is to broadcast compressed data which includes text, graphic and image information encoded in the hypertext markup language (HTML) format used on the World Wide Web. The performance of the WHS at a transmitter and a receiver has been studied for various compression techniques. A suitable packet length of the transmitted data has been chosen to provide a gain in the transmission efficiency.
