Low complexity source and channel coding for mm-wave hybrid fiber-wireless links

We report on the performance of channel and source coding applied for an experimentally realized hybrid fiber-wireless W-band link. Error control coding performance is presented for a wireless propagation distance of 3 m and 20 km fiber transmission. We report on peak signal-to-noise ratio performance of several encoded high-definition video sequences constrained by the channel bitrate and the packet size. We argue that light video compression and low complexity channel coding for the W-band fiber-wireless link enable low-delay multiple channel 1080p wireless HD video transmission.
