Controlling Joint Optimization of Wireless Video Transmission: the PHOENIX Basic Demonstration Platform

A global approach for realistic network-aware joint source and channel system optimization for wireless video transmission is described in this paper. After a description of the information to be exchanged among the system component blocks, the concept of "JSCC/D controllers" is introduced and the implementation of the first "basic chain" demonstrator realized in the framework of the PHOENIX project is described. Simulation results obtained with such first software demonstration platform confirm the validity of the described approach.
