Real-Time Rate Distortion Optimized and Adaptive Low Complexity Algorithms for Video Streaming

Mobile cyberphysical systems provide a platform where communication, computing and control are integrated together. With the increase in the usage of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it is important to understand the complex interaction between these three subsystems. This paper aims to address this challenge in the context of video delivery over an autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) network. This network suffers from limited bandwidth and delay constraints of real-time video streaming under time-varying wireless channel conditions. Additionally, it experiences limitations in power consumption and computational complexity due to the embedded system platform running the video transmission protocols. Hence, we design a low complexity real-time video transmission protocols that are suitable for such platforms. In this paper, we provide a comparison between different transmission protocols we developed with respect to temporal and spatial video distortion metrics.
