The Role of Video Coding in D2D Communications
Xuguang Zhang, Jianxin Chen, Feng Tian, Zhe Yuan · 2017
The development of Device-to-Device (D2D) communication provides potential for distributing data in mobile devices, offloading large amount of data traffic from the base station to mobile devices. It greatly enhances the system capacity, and makes the mass of high-quality video services possible. The existing video transmission schemes for D2D communication seldom consider the unique structural feature of video stream. In this paper, we explore the possibility to develop the encoding structural feature of H.264/AVC, Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and Multiple Description Coding (MDC) schemes. Theoretical and simulation results show that MDC fits best to the D2D network in terms of data offloading and Quality of Experience (QoE) improving.
