Transmission and routing of video data over Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) is a complicated task because of the unstable nature and limited throughput of such networks. To improve the performance, a multi-stream video coding and transmission over several paths is used. Network parameters determining quality of video transmission (bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss) and routing options combined with video coding schemas must be taken into account to find the best solution. In this paper network parameters are analysed, their complex relationships revealed and presented in a graph which could be used to choose optimum conditions for video transmission over MANET.

Transmission of video data over MANETs is a complicated task because of the mobile nodes and limited throughput. To improve the performance, a video transmission over several paths is used. However, network parameters and routing options combined with the most appropriate video coding schemas must be taken into account to ensure optimum conditions. In this paper state-of-the-art practices are surveyed as well as the analyses on how to combine all the diverse aspects are made. An algorithm to select optimum coding parameters which ensure “network friendly” transmission is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
