To solve this problem optimally, one may adjust parameters at the physical and the application layers in a cross-layer fashion while utilizing the characteristics of the videothat is being transmitted. In this paper, we propose a multiobjective optimized, cross-layer video broadcasting scheme for a wireless system capable of supporting a multitude of transmission data-rates using the H.264/AVC. The multi-objective, cross-layer optimization aims to find the H.264/AVC as well as the physical layer system parameters jointly to reach the optimal compromise between maximizing the average received video PSNR and minimizing the video broadcast service outage probability. Simulations conducted for the ITU Pedestrian A and Vehicular B channels show that further gains in system performance can be achieved for video broadcasting when such a cross-layer design is used.engrestrictedAccessconferenceObject1600027091890010610.1109/ISBMSB.2009.5133837OptimisationProbabilityRadio broadcastingVideo coding2-s2.0-70350334116
