Ultra-high definition Wireless Video transmission using H.264 over 802.11n WLAN: Challenges and performance evaluation

Ultra-high definition video content is available in some areas such as the movie industry and scientific research. Wireless Video Streaming is currently being done at full-high definition (1080p). The evaluation of ultra-high definition video has become necessary due to the introduction of wireless specifications which operate in higher frequency bands and therefore provide higher throughput. We also illustrate, for the first time, successful transmission of H.264 compressed ultra-high definition video over 802.11n WLAN; using both simulation and experimental results to verify our claim.
