Real-time video delivery adds an aspect of reality when used in conjunction with other computer and human communications facilities (eg in videophone or videoconferencing applications). However, the complex and time-critical nature of video coding usually demands high-power computation and high band-width channels to support it. This paper provides a brief description of the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) mobile telecommunications standard and video coding standards, and suggests how appropriate use could be made of the GSM system for the transport of certain low bandwidth video services.
