Cross-Layer Optimized Design for Wireless Multimedia ABSTRACT Electrical & Electronics Engineering Wireless communication systems to be developed in the near future will offer various multimedia services. When such services require high data rates or are intolerant to delay, a design philosophy based on conventional OSI layers may not deliver the appropriate system. The main purpose of this project proposal is to design a wireless communication system, which is vertically optimised across the layers. In such a system, system resources such as power, spectrum, time, code space, and antennas shall be shared by the users in the best and most adaptable way. Moreover, the time- dependant service quality requirements of all services offered within t
