Abstract

In the research community wireless devices are fostering many design and development activities. The augmented transmission bandwidth supplied by 3G transmission schemes will soon enable an ubiquitous fruition of multimedia content. This paper proposes a reconfigurable, power-scalable architecture for hybrid video coding, suitable for the mobile environment. The complete FPGA design flow shows very interesting performances both in terms of throughput, and power consumption.
