Abstract

The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a bearer service for GSM Mobile Networks, which is supposed to greatly improve the access of mobile users, to packet data networks, such as the Internet or enterprise network. On the other hand, today's digital imagery is extremely demanding, not only from the quality point of view, but also from the image size aspect. Current image size covers orders of magnitude, ranging from web logos of size to high quality scanned images. The JPEG2000 international standard represents advances in image compression technology where the image coding system is optimized not only for efficiency, but also for scalability and interoperability in network and mobile environments. Digital imaging has become an integral part of the Internet, and JPEG2000 is a powerful new tool that provides power capabilities for designers and users of networked image applications. We present, in this paper, a solution, based on existing transport protocol (TCP), for improving JPEG2000 images delivery over GPRS mobile networks, based on performance evaluation in a live network.
