Abstract
In this tutorial paper, we examine the H.264X family of standards for advanced, scalable or multiview video coding, the distributed video coding paradigm and the emerging H.265 standard. Detailed technical descriptions and insightful analysis are presented in each standard. The applications of selected video coding standards in emerging wireless networks are then introduced with an emphasis on scalable video streaming in multihomed mobile networks. Both research challenges and potential solutions are discussed along the description, and numerical results through simulations or experiments are provided to reveal the performances of selected coding standards and networking algorithms.

On Lagrange multiplier and quantizer adjustment for H.264 frame-layer video rate control
H.264/AVC encoder employs a complex mode-decision technique based on rate-distortion optimization. It calculates rate-distortion cost (RDcost) for all possible modes to choose the best one having the minimum RDcost. This paper presents a frame-layer ...
