MPEG-4 transmission over wireless networks

This paper reviews some application scenarios for transmitting MPEG-4 encoded video over wireless networks. These include side information or interactive services in digital terrestrial video broadcast (DVB-T), audio-visual information over in-home networks and digital video over DAB (digital audio broadcast system). For the first two applications the "Delivery Multimedia Integration Framework (DMIF)" is investigated, while for the latter application encapsulation of MPEG-4 streams in MPEG-2 transport streams (TS) and appropriate preprocessing are considered.
