Abstract—This paper presents the design of a networked system for joint compression, rate control and error correction of video over
resource-constrained embedded devices based on the theory of Compressed Sensing (CS). The objective of this work is to design a
cross-layer system that jointly controls the video encoding rate, the transmission rate, and the channel coding rate to maximize the
received video quality. First, compressed sensing-based video encoding for transmission over Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks
(WMSNs) is studied. It is shown that compressed sensing can overcome many of the current problems of video over WMSNs, primarily
encoder complexity and low resiliency to channel errors. A rate controller is then developed with the objective of maintaining fairness
among different videos while maximizing the received video quality. It is shown that the rate of Compressed Sensed Video (CSV) can be
predictably controlled by varying only the compressed sensing sampling rate. It is then shown that the developed rate controller can be
interpreted as the iterative solution to a convex optimization problem representing the optimization of the rate allocation across the
network. The error resiliency properties of compressed sensed images and videos are then studied, and an optimal error detection and
correction scheme is presented for video transmission over lossy channels. Finally, the entire system is evaluated through simulation
and test bed evaluation. The rate controller is shown to outperform existing TCP-friendly rate control schemes in terms of both fairness
and received video quality. The test bed results show that the rates converge to stable values in real channels.
