An evaluation of wireless video transmission using lossless video compression and 8×8 MIMO-OFDM wireless transceiver

In recent years, digital high-definition television is widely used due to the start of digital terrestrial television broadcasting. In addition to such situation, ultra high definition television format such as 4K and 8K has been standardized. On the other hand, high-speed wireless transmission systems using MIMO-OFDM including IEEE 802.11n and 802.11ac wireless LAN standards have become popular. Using such high-speed transmission systems, it is expected that high-definition video sequences can be transmitted without any degradation of quality. Therefore, we are trying to develop such high-quality video transmission systems over a wireless environment by combining lossless video compression algorithms and MIMO-OFDM wireless transmission technology considering both hardware implementation and wireless transmission conditions. In this paper, we evaluate a configuration of lossless video transmission systems. Experimental result shows that video sequences can be transmitted over 22db carrier to noise ratio (CNR) wireless channels with 99.99% pixel restoration rate.
