Ultra-High-Definition Video Transmission for Mission-Critical Communication Systems Applications: Challenges and Solutions

With the standardization of ultra-high-definition formats and their increasing adoption within the multimedia industry, it has become vital to investigate how such a resolution could impact the quality of experience with respect to mission-critical communication systems. While this standardization enables improved perceptual quality of video content, how it can be used in mission-critical communications remains a challenge, with the main challenge being processing. This chapter discusses the challenges and potential solutions for the deployment of ultra-high-definition video transmission for mission-critical applications. In addition, it examines the state-of-the-art solutions for video processing and explores potential solutions. Finally, the authors predict future research directions in this area.
