| Publisher Description: "Video and Multimedia Transmissions over Cellular Networks" describes the state of the art in the transmission of multimedia over cellular networks, evaluates the performance of the running system based on the measurements and monitoring of live networks, and finally presents concepts and methods for improving of the quality in such systems. The book is divided into following six parts treating transmission of different media over cellular networks requiring certain quality: Part I: Contributions to the transmission of multimedia over cellular networks and introduction in the cellular networks on the example of UMTS. Part II: Characteristics of the link layer errors in the UMTS Terrestrial radio Access Network (UTRAN), general behavior of the UMTS dedicated radio link in different mobility scenarios. Part III: Video encoding and decoding (including newest H.264/AVC video codec. Part IV: Mechanisms for transmission of multimedia over cellular networks (including cross layer information exchange). Part V: Methods for monitoring quality in cellular networks. Part VI: Analysis and Modeling of the traffic evolution in the cellular mobile networks Provides in-depth coverage of UMTS network architecture, and an overview of 3GPP video services Coverage is based on real measured data and traces of the UMTS system, thus representing the "real" life rather than academic ideal systems Covers analysis and modeling of the link error characteristics, also based on measured results Contains a chapter on error concealment that provides a tutorial to the most important and recent error concealment mechanisms Provides a comprehensive overview of the techniques that contribute to the end quality of the video transmitted over cellular mobile networks Discusses the real-time capable algorithms that are suitable for implementation in power and size limited terminals |
