Abstract

Technology has advanced in recent years to the point where multimedia communicators are beginning to emerge. These communicators are low-power, portable devices that can transmit and receive multimedia data through the wireless network. Due to the high computational complexity involved and the low-power constraint in wireless applications, these devices require the use of processors that are powerful and are at the same time very power-efficient. In order to facilitate interoperability, it is important that these devices use standardized compression and communication algorithms. As a first step in implementing multimedia terminals, Texas Instruments (TI) has demonstrated real-time MPEG-4 video decoding (simple profile) on TMS320C54x, TI's low power, high performance DSP chip. In addition, TI has outlined a system-level solution to transmitting video across wireless networks, including channel coding and communication protocols.
