Smart Broadcast Technique for Improved Video Applications over Constrained Networks

Abstract—improved wireless video communication is challenging since video stream is vulnerable to channel distortions. Hence, the need to investigate efficient scheme for improved video communications. This research work investigated broadcast schemes, and proposes smart broadcast technique as a solution for improved video quality over constrained network such as wireless network under tight constraints. The scheme exploits the concept of video analysis and adaptation principles in the optimization process. The experimental results obtained under different channel conditions demonstrate the capability of the proposed scheme in terms of improving the average received video quality performance over a constrained network.
