Mobile Multimedia is defined as a set of protocols and standards for multimedia information exchange over wireless networks. Therefore the book is organised into four parts. The introduction part, which consists of two chapters introduces the readers to the basic ideas behind mobility management and provides the business and technical drivers, which initiated the mobile multimedia revolution. Part two, which consists of six chapters, explains the enabling technologies for mobile multimedia with respect to data communication protocols and standards. Part three contains two chapters and is dedicated for how information can be retrieved over wireless networks whether it is voice, text, or multimedia information. Part four with its four chapters will clarify in a simple a self-implemented way how scarce resources can be managed and how system performance can be evaluated.

As multimedia-enabled mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets are becoming the day-to-day computing device of choice for users of all ages, everyone expects that all mobile multimedia applications and services should be as smooth and as high-quality as the desktop experience. The grand challenge in delivering multimedia to mobile devices using the Internet is to ensure the quality of experience that meets the users' expectations, within reasonable costs, while supporting heterogeneous platforms and wireless network conditions. This book aims to provide a holistic overview of the current and future technologies used for delivering high-quality mobile multimedia applications, while focusing on user experience as the key requirement. The book opens with a section dealing with the challenges in mobile video delivery as one of the most bandwidth-intensive media that requires smooth streaming and a user-centric strategy to ensure quality of experience. The second section addresses this challenge by introducing some important concepts for future mobile multimedia coding and the network technologies to deliver quality services. The last section combines the user and technology perspectives by demonstrating how user experience can be measured using case studies on urban community interfaces and Internet telephones.
