Next Generation Wireless Internet (NGWI) is expected to provide real-time multimedia services like voice and video delivery. It is important to develop an efficient rate control protocol for the transmission of multimedia data over the Wireless Internet. Moreover, it is desirable to develop an energy efficient protocol since wireless devices are energy constrained. In this paper an effective rate control protocol for delivering multimedia data over the wireless networks is presented. Simulation results indicate that the proposed rate control mechanism achieves a good throughput performance, smooth rate variation, minimum delay jitter and better energy efficiency. The performance test results obtained over a miniature NGWI test bed validate our proposed rate control mechanism in terms of throughput performance, rate variations, low latency and jitter.
This paper proposes a search mechanism, namely accelerated internal stop search (AISS), to reduce the complexity of the block matching process used for motion estimation in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The proposed mechanism reduces the number of operations required to find the best matching reference block. Moreover, it uses the correlation with the previous reference frames to further reduce the complexity of motion estimation for the current reference frame. Results demonstrate that the proposed mechanism is able to reduce the complexity of motion estimation in the fast search mode of the HM-14.0 reference software for HEVC, i.e., the TZ Search motion estimation. The AISS mechanism outperforms the dynamic internal stop search algorithm (DISS) proposed by Ismail et al. in the year 2012 in terms of motion estimation time saving. Moreover, when AISS is integrated with the dynamic model based fast motion estimation proposed by Ismail et al. [1], the complexity of motion estimation is further reduced. 978-1-4673-8564-0/15/$31.00 c 2015 IEEE
