A Survey on Telemedicine Approach Using Cross Layer Design in Video Streaming

Telemedicine is one of the effective applications of the technological advancements coupled with the developments in the field of medicine and plays a vital role in today's world. A survey has been conducted on various types of coding techniques, video compression standards for real-time transmission of video over wireless network and also on the cross layer design framework which makes the telemedicine not only possible but efficient. In this paper we address and analyze the relevant challenges of cross layer design for real time rate adaptation of video streaming with reference to the various video coding techniques. A comparative performance analysis of such approach is validated and the advantages are analyzed. This survey is conducted in order to improve the performance of telemedicine considering the bandwidth constraints and quality of service. We review the existing Cross Layer Design (CLD) approaches and provide the solution to use the appropriate layers for CLD framework from the stack protocol.
