Header Compression Mechanism in MPEG2 TS over IEEE 802.15.4

The IEEE 802.15.4 protocol is a well accepted standard for wireless sensor network (WSN). To deliver the video data in WSN, MPEG2 TS over IEEE 802.15.4 networks is constructed. For lower energy consumption, the MPEG2 TS header compression mechanism is proposed. The simulation shows that the proposed mechanism reduces the length of MPEG2 TS packet around 4-5%. The proposed mechanism can save the energy and increase the video quality in low-rate WSN.
