Wireless video communication is challenging due to vulnerability of media bitstreams to channel distortions. Investigation has been carried out on wireless video channel under tight networking resource budget. One of the challenges is the impact of channel errors on the quality of media streams with high motion activity. Motion activity in this context defines the magnitude of activity displacement in video sequence. Based on the analysis, Media Motion-based Resource Distribution (MRD) is proposed to maximize the average received video quality over wireless system, by regulating the resource distribution of the media streams based on their motion activity characteristics. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can improve the average received video quality performance under tight resource constraints budget. Keywords: Wireless video communication, resource constraints, received video performance, media motion

A major limitation for wireless video communication on portable devices is the limited energy budget. For this reason, efficient usage of the scarce energy becomes a critical design constraint, in addition to meeting the Quality of Service constraints related to the video quality. In this chapter the authors focus on minimizing the energy cost of the two main energy consumers in the handheld wireless video device: the video encoding and wireless communication tasks. For this purpose, they present a cross-layer approach that explores the tradeoff between coding and communication energies. They then exploit the Rate-Distortion-Complexity tradeoffs and flexibility of the Scalable Video Codec. The results show that by adapting the codec configuration at runtime to the specific scenarios up to 50% of the total energy can be saved with marginal video quality loss. Moreover, the approach presented is of low complexity and easily deployable in practical systems.

Rate control has significant impact on the video coding. However, the conventional rate control algorithm in the latest video coding standard H.264 without take into account the human visual system and result in video quality fluctuation. To address this problem, we propose a novel rate control algorithm for H.264/AVC considering frame activity. First, a method is proposed to detect the scene change in frames of video sequences. Second, bit allocation to frame is related to the frame activity which is calculated on the local motion activity and scene change in frames. And in the MB level, the number of bits allocated to each MB is determined by its local motion activity. Experimental results show that the proposed rate control algorithm can increase average PSNR by 0.9137 comparisons with the JVT-G012, and reduces the bit-rate error by up to 0.06%.
