The project “A Cross-Layer Optimization Framework for Coded Wireless Video Multicast” investigates the incorporation of advanced coding techniques in the video source and in the channel, such as scalable video coding, multiple description coding, and superposition coding, and aims to come up with an optimization framework and further toward an efficient and standard-friendly implementation of the proposed techniques. There is not any budgetary relationship with the SPG project.
