A method for communicating video data on a wireless channel in a
packet-switched network includes the steps of operating at a wireless
terminal a compression in packets on the video data during a video coding
operation, detecting wireless channel conditions and adapting control
parameters of the video coding operation to the detected wireless channel
conditions. The compression operation is a robust header compression
operation and the step of adapting control parameters of said video
coding operation is performed in dependence of information about the
wireless channel conditions detected on a feedback channel made available
in a decompression step associated with the compression operation.
