Abstract

The JPEG compression algorithm is widely used in communications technology for multimedia data transmission. This algorithm is also very efficient for mobile applications since it can achieve compression ratios more than 100:1, thus greatly facilitating the storage and transmission processes for images. Though lossless JPEG compression is an ideal solution, the compression ratio achieved with this technique is relatively very small. JPEG2000 provides higher compression ratio and quality compared to JPEG but the main problem with this compression technique is its complexity resulting in longer processing time thus making it unsuitable for mobile communications. In this study, the authors explore methods for enhancing the performance of JPEG compression standard for mobile applications. They show that by using a splitting technique along with the JPEG compression, one can transmit data files of size larger than the maximum capacity which is possible with the existing mobile network. To evaluate the performance of proposed method, the authors perform some simulations using the emulator on desktop computer and mobile phone. The parameters used for performance evaluation are the speed of the compression process, the compression ratio and the compressed image quality. The simulation results presented in this paper will be very useful for developing a practical mobile communication system for multimedia data using JPEG compression.
