Wireless adaptive video streaming by real-time channel estimation and video transcoding

A system composed of an MPEG-2 video transcoder to change bitrate, frame rate and frame size and a cross layer controller gathering information from physical, MAC, driver, and RTCP layers, calculating instantaneous network throughput, to optimize real-time adaptive A/V streaming over IEEE 802.11 is presented.
