Link adaptation for wireless video communication systems

Modern wireless communication standards are mainly designed to operate as data-centric networks. As a result, their link adaptation is designed to maximize the error-free data throughput. However, when transmitting video, error-free data throughput is not the only pivotal metric. Issues such as latency and jitter must also be considered. Moreover, the limited power of mobile devices is also a challenge in wireless video communication. The aim of this project is, therefore, to develop link adaptation solutions for wireless video communication systems with the objectives of minimized power consumption, high video quality and continuous playback.
