Robust and scalable matching pursuits video transmission using the Bluetooth air interface standard

This paper introduces an error resilient implementation of the matching pur suits algorithm for video coding. The video bitstream is transmitted using a simulation of the Bluetooth air interface standard, which recommends ARQ as a means of overcoming channel errors in the data packets. This approach may be unsuitable for real time and broadcast applications. Therefore, a mo dified receiver is proposed in this paper, which does not request the retra nsmission of erroneous packets, but instead passes them to the video decode r to exploit error resilience. This strategy is shown to be superior to a s tandard compliant system if ARQ cannot be applied. The work confirms that w ireless communication standards should support a transparent mode for video applications.
