Abstract: A method for communication includes collecting information relating at least to communication of a wireless device over a wireless communication network. An energy-prediction model, which predicts amounts of energy needed in the wireless device for performing communication operations in the wireless communication network, is maintained based on the collected information. For a communication operation that is to be performed by the wireless device in the wireless communication network, a time at which the communication operation will be performed is scheduled based on the energy-prediction model. The communication operation is performed at the scheduled time.

Abstract: The present invention is a new and innovative system and method for the stream transmission of video data. The disclosed invention enables a significant reduction in latency and in start decoding and displaying parameters in the transmission of the video data in comparison with existing stream video transmission methods. According to the some embodiments of the present invention each frame or each field is sliced into a predetermined number of slices. Each slice is compressed separately, using standard video compression technologies. The compressed slices are then compounded together before being transmitted over the communication network. On the receiving end the frame is reassembled and decompressed. Finally the frame is recomposed accordingly and filtered to provide a high quality video image.
