One-Size-Fits-All Wireless Video.
Szymon Jakubczak, Hariharan Shankar Rahul, Dina Katabi · 2009
Abstract — We present SoftCast, a new approach for wireless video that flips the conventional design; instead of requiring the source to pick an 802.11 bitrate and video resolution before transmission, it allows the receiver to decode a video whose bitrate and resolution are commensurate with the observed channel quality after reception. This approach has applications for multicast and mobile wireless receivers, whose channels differ across time and space. I.
