Abstract

At present, wireless local area networks (WLANs) supporting broadband multimedia communication are being developed and standardised. These will provide data rates up to 54 Mbps in the 5 GHz band. Highly compressed data such as video are extremely sensitive to the errors that are commonly encountered in wireless channels. This paper addresses the problems of transmitting MPEG-2 video over WLANs, and in particular HIPERLAN/2, and describes error resilient video transcoding as a means of handling channel errors
