Combined scalability technique for video transmission over wireless channel with MIMO-OFDM systems

Abstract

The needs of efficient bandwidth utilization and how to handle fluctuation bandwidth condition of wireless channel have became fundamental problems in video transmission. This research uses Scalable Video Coding (SVC) that refers to Joint Scalable Video Model (JSVM), i.e. development of video coding H.264/AVC by exploiting scalable combination method on wireless channel of Multiple Input Multiple Output — Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM). This research shows that the scalable combination method can implemented on the scenario of video transmission on multicast network. Experimental results are presented that the delivered quality is close to the alternative traditional simulcast delivery mechanism in MIMO-OFDM systems.
