Abstract

Streaming media distribution is a rapidly growing application. The increasing number of broadband Internet subscribers, the growing market for smart in-home networks and the upcoming broadband mobile phone networks encourage this trend. In addition, the number of multimedia enabled mobile devices such as PDAs, smart embedded devices and notebooks is rapidly growing. MPEG-4 is one of the favorite video coding schemes, and Bluetooth is a preferred wireless technology for small and smart devices because of its small size, low power consumption and cost efficiency. In this paper we present a complete quality of service (QoS) enabled system that integrates a MPEG-4 codec and a Bluetooth device for mobile video applications.
