Channel-Adaptive Unequal Error Protection for Scalable Video Transmission Over Wireless Channel † GuiJin Wang , Qian Zhang, Wenwu Zhu, and Ya-Qin Zhang Microsoft Research, China 5F, Bejing Sigma Center, No. 49, Zhichun Road Haidian District, Beijing 100080, P. R. China ABSTRACT Scalable video delivery over wireless link is a very challenging task due to the time-varying characteristics of wireless channels. This paper proposes a channel-adaptive error control scheme for efficiently video delivery, which consists of dynamically channel estimation and channel-adaptive Unequal Error Protection (UEP). In our proposed channel-adaptive UEP scheme, a bit allocation algorithm is presented to periodically allocate the available bits among different video layers based on varying channel conditions so as to minimize the end-to-end distortion. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme is efficient under various channel conditions.

The third generation (3G) wireless technology, which could provide bandwidth from 384kbps to 2Mbps, makes it feasible for video transmission over wireless. However, video transmission over wireless remains a very challenging task because of two factors: (1) l
