Abstract :
The growing importance of mobile networks has stimulated active research into how multimedia information can be distributed over a slow and reliable network. In this paper, we propose a multi-channel approach for transmitting video frames over a GSM network. A number of strategies are proposed for channel allocation so that sufficient bandwidth can be provided to satisfy the timing requirements of the video frames. Their performance evaluated using simulation
