Evaluating HEVC video delivery in VANET scenarios

Video delivery over VANETs is a difficult task. On the one hand, video streaming is a demanding application, where big deals of data need to be processed and transmitted. On the other hand, VANETs are error prone networks due to the high mobility of the nodes and the wireless channel. The sum of these two factors makes video transmission a hard to manage task. In this paper we evaluate the new emerging video coding standard HEVC and how it behaves under packet losses conditions in a VANET.
