3-Dimensional Television (3D-TV) is an emerging
area of consumer entertainment, which gives its viewers an
added dimension of experience. At the moment 3DTV is going
through a series of standardization activities, especially to
finalize a representation technique. Extra information that
needs to be transmitted in 3D-TV systems has brought about
new problems that need to be solved. Models have been
introduced to explain the distortion characteristics in
traditional 2D video, when they are transmitted over existing
wireless networks. However, the effect of transmission errors
caused by bandwidth limited wireless channels on 3D video is
not yet fully known. In this paper we present a performance
evaluation of 3D-TV transmission over an error prone WiMAX
broadband wireless access network. Experiments are
performed on two popular types of representation methods of
3D video, namely color plus depth and left and right
representation. Based on these experiments, important
conclusions regarding 3D-TV transmission over WiMAX
networks are presented
