Cross-layer mobile WiMAX MAC designs for the H.264/AVC scalable video coding

Abstract

To effectively provide the QoS of streaming services in mobile WiMAX systems. this paper proposes it cross-layer design between the streaming server and mobile WiMAX base stations. We will show that for each user the Implementation Of Multiple connections with feedback Information of the available transmission bandwidth is critical for supporting H.264/AVC-based scalable video coding in which the transmission packets call be further separated into multiple levels of importance. To quantify the performance, a mobile WiMAX simulation platform including both the video encoder/decoder and IEEE 802.16e MAC controls is developed.
