Abstract

A system for transmitting video from a plurality of transmitters to a plurality of receivers over a shared wireless channel includes a plurality of transmitters each receiving a respective video stream to transmit over the shared wireless channel. Distortion-related information is associated with each of the respective video streams and each of the plurality of transmitters having access to the distortion-related information for the respective video stream while not having access to the distortion-related information for other the video streams. Each of the plurality of transmitters using the respective distortion-related information of the respective the video stream to determine how to modify the video stream for transmission based upon a channel time constraint.
