Patent ID: 8300661

Claim:
A method of transmitting uncompressed video, the method comprising: transmitting uncompressed video data comprising a first number of bits for each of a plurality of pixels over a wireless channel using a first coding rate and first modulation, wherein said first coding rate comprises error correction encoding; identifying a characteristic of the wireless channel; and in response to identifying the characteristic of the channel, transmitting uncompressed video data comprising a second number of bits for each of a second plurality of pixels over the wireless channel using a second coding rate and second modulation, wherein said second coding rate comprises error correction encoding, and wherein the second number of bits is smaller than the first number of bits, wherein the second number of bits includes higher order bits of each of the second plurality of pixels, and the first number of bits includes the higher order and the lower order bits of each of the first plurality of pixels, and wherein the higher order bits are encoded by a first encoder and the lower order bits are encoded by a second encoder, wherein the first number of bits that are non-transmitted are replaced, wherein the non-transmitted first number of bits are replaced with interpolated bit data based on transmitted average values of the non-transmitted first number of bits, and wherein the second number of bits consists of the most significant bits (MSB) of each of the second plurality of pixels and the first number of bits comprises the MSB and the least significant bits (LSB) of each of the first plurality of pixels, and wherein the MSB are encoded by the first encoder and the LSB are encoded by the second encoder.
