METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHROMA PARTITIONING AND RATE ADAPTATION FOR UNCOMPRESSED VIDEO TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A method and system for transmission of video information is provided. A transmitting wireless station performs chroma partitioning of pixels in a video frame into different partitions. The chroma partitioning includes separating luminance (Y) information from chrominance information (CB and CR) of each pixel in a set of spatially correlated pixels. The luminance (Y) information are placed into different partitions. The different partitions into different packets and transmitted over a wireless communication medium to a receiving wireless station. The video information is selectively adapted to a lower data transmission rate with reduced quality degradation by dropping less important partitions.
