Performance Analysis of H.264 video over Error-prone Transmission Environment

Wireless multimedia technology has witnessed a rapid development in recent years due to explosive growth in communication, commerce and entertainment services. Undoubtedly, future wireless communication systems will eventually integrated a broad range of multimedia services such as voice, video, and data. This will have a profound impact on the way individuals communicate and access information. It is very obvious that video communication has been very much popular due its high bandwidth demand for a video data to be efficiently transported across wireless network. The dynamic nature of the channel condition has to be considered while designing such systems in order to ultimately support effective video applications over error-prone transmission environment. This paper critically analyse the performance of H.264 transmitted video over error-prone transmission environment. Also, we examine the profound impact of the unpredicted channel condition on the video quality.
