Competency Demonstration Report: Video Transmission Project Analysis

This report details a telecom engineering project focused on intelligent video transmission over 2.4 GHz wireless technologies. The project addressed the challenges of transmitting MPEG video streams over dynamic wireless channels, prone to interference. The student implemented a fuzzy neural controller and a rule-based fuzzy controller to monitor the input and output of a traffic shaping buffer, optimizing parameters for the MPEG encoder. The objectives included applying neural networks and fuzzy logic to wireless technology and conducting video transmission tests. The student's responsibilities encompassed analyzing engineering technologies, designing network diagrams, and conducting simulations. The report highlights the use of MPEG video compression, the application of soft computing techniques, and the development of an intelligent system that adapts to channel conditions to maintain video quality. The student also describes the issues faced, such as data loss and latency, and the solutions implemented, including the use of intelligent transmission to adjust to the wireless channel state. The project's innovative approach involved reducing file sizes and improving video quality, with a focus on collaborative work and regular project reviews with supervisors.
