Scope
The rapid growth in wireless video applications, such as video streaming,
video telephony and wireless video games, has resulted in spectacular
strides in the progress of wireless communication systems. However, the high
error rates of wireless channels and the stringent energy constraints of
mobile devices still pose significant barriers in the deployment of wireless
video applications.
This special session will provide an excellent forum for experts working in
this area to join each other for a discussion of various important issues
concerning video over wireless networks. The forum aims at increasing the
synergy between academic and industry professionals specializing in this
area. The submitted papers should focus on the state-of-the-art research in
various important aspects of the emerging technologies and standards related
to video coding and transmission over wireless networks. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
* Advanced video coding algorithms
* Advanced error resilience and concealment algorithms for wireless video
* Video quality assessment for wireless communications
* Rate control for wireless video
* Joint source-channel coding for wireless video
* Energy-efficient wireless video coding, scheduling, transmission, and playback
* Cross-layer wireless video communication protocol, system design, and optimization
* QoS issues for wireless video
* New video applications over 3G/4G wireless systems
* New wireless multimedia protocols and standards
* Scalable and multiple description video coding and transmission
* Wireless video traffic modeling
* Wireless video streaming and synchronization
* Wireless video sensor networks
