Video Coding for Wireless Communication Systems or Global Networks

Video Coding for Wireless Communication Systems, Vol. 10

Author: King N Ngan

"Explains the transmission of image and video information over wireless channels. Describes MPEG-4, the latest video coding standard. Discusses error resilient combined source channel image and video coders, and multiple access spread spectrum and future generation wireless video communication systems."

Booknews

Addresses the transmission of image and video information over wireless channels, especially mobile radio channels where multipath fading effects pose challenges to researchers in the development of mobile videophone systems. Early chapters provide background on source and channel coding of images and video, with description of the latest video coding standard, MPEG-4, followed by radio channel modeling. Later chapters concentrate on system aspects, with descriptions of error-resilient, combined-source channel image and video coders, multiple access spread spectrum communication systems, and future wireless video communication systems. Ngan is head of the Visual Communications Research Group at the University of Western Australia. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Global Networks

Author: Robert J Holton

Global network research is an exciting new area of social analysis. This book is the first to provide a thorough investigation of global network links across time and space. Robert Holton demonstrates the way in which technological and interpersonal networks organise global society, providing vivid examples from the present and the past. This text gives practical advice on how to research global networks, and brings together leading theory and new evidence on the subject for all students learning about globalisation and contemporary social change.
