This paper proposes a global approach of JPWL (ISO/IEC 15444-11) image transmission over a realistic wireless channel able to ensure the best Quality of Service (QoS). In order to exploit the channel diversity, we consider a ClosedLoop MIMO-OFDM scheme with different precoder designs. In particular, the high flexibility of QoS precoder allows taking into account the scalability of JPWL jointly with the instantaneous MIMO channel status. This increases the visual quality of received images. The monitoring of the quality is made by a reduced-reference metric (QIP) based on object's saliency and interest point, both linked to human perception. It is performed in association with a robust JPWL decoder to determine the optimal decoding configuration in terms of PSNR. The proposed scheme provides very good results and its performance is shown through a realistic wireless channel.
