—In this paper, we present an overview of the JPWL standardization activity. JPWL is an extension of JPEG 2000 for the efficient transmission of JPEG 2000 images over an error-prone wireless network. More specifically, JPWL supports a set of tools for error protection and correction, including Forward Error Correcting codes (FEC), Unequal Error Protection (UEP), data partitioning and interleaving.
