Power Aware Error Resilient Coding

Key Researchers: Minyoung Kim, Hyunok Oh

With advance in technology and the trend towards "convergent mobile computing", there will be growing demand for high quality mobile multimedia communication. This problem should be solved with reasonable compression efficiency, coupled with high error resiliency, which is a crucial factor for the real-time multimedia communication over lossy networks. Specifically, in the mobile handheld environment, this problem is also linked with the consideration of the innate limitation of the handheld devices, such as the short battery lifetime and the low CPU computation capability. Therefore, in this project, we introduce a new power aware error resilient encoding scheme that can run at various operating points in accordance with resource constraints. This research is a part of FORGE project: a Framework for Optimization of Distributed Embedded Systems Software.
