Features: Currently, international communication technology is rapidly developing in the direction of broadband, mobile, and fiber-optic. This has promoted the integration of communication networks and terminals, further expanding comprehensive communication services. China's 11th Five-Year Plan is accelerating the integration of three networks centered around the IP network. This book introduces cutting-edge technologies for multimedia integrated communication, especially for image communication. For example, transmission technologies for wireless mobile and fixed networks (OFDM modulation technology), multimedia service transmission over IP networks (IPTV technology), new source compression coding technologies (currently the highest compression efficiency ITU H.264 standard), and wavelet transform-based JPEG2000 standards and scalable video compression coding (SVC) technology. This book not only elaborates on these technologies (including their applications) in general conceptual terms but also strives to elevate the discussion to the level of theoretical analysis. In explaining new technologies (some of which are still in the research phase), it aims to present them in an accessible yet thorough manner, systematically introducing the relevant theories of these new technologies to readers. This book is a specialized science and technology monograph and can serve as a textbook or reference for doctoral and master's students in communication and information systems in the fields of communication, computer science, and broadcasting and television. It can also be used as a reference for engineers and technicians in these industries.
