Description
This all-inclusive, expertly structured contributed volume will serve as an indispensable guide for professionals or researchers working
in areas like networking, communications, data compression, multimedia processing, streaming architectures, and computer graphics. Beginning
with a concise overview of the fundamental principles and challenges of multimedia communication and networking, this book then branches
off organically to tackle compression and networking next before moving on to systems, wireless multimedia and more advanced topics.
The Compression section advises on the best means and methodology to ensure multimedia signal (images, text, audio and data) integrity
for transmissions on wireless and wired systems. The Networking section addresses channel protection and performance. In the Systems
section the focus is on streaming media on demand, live broadcast and video and voice's role in real-time communication. Wireless multimedia
transmission and Quality of Service issues are discussed in the Wireless Multimedia section. An Advanced Topics section concludes the
book with an assortment of topics including Peer-to-Peer multimedia communication and multipath networks.
