Joint Source Coding and Channel Estimation for Video Transmission Over Wireless LAN

We propose a mechanism in which the feedback channel state information (CSI) can be sent to the rate control unit for adapting the encoding rate and doing the selective ARQ at the transmitter periodically. We consider a general framework for the real-time transmission of video data over a channel subjected to random burst packet losses. It is an intuitively appealing result that the rate for the encoded video is changed smoothly with the channel capacity when the channel conditions is time-varying, so we can get a proper quality video.
