“…A clear example might be delivery of the final Wimbledon tennis match in which there are large quantities of receiving stations that need information. For this case, the use of FLUTE (File Delivery Under Unidirectional Transport) [11] is proposed, with a return by Internet, so that chains which do not receive information can ask for retransmission of a certain type of data as we can see in Fig. 1.…”

Abstract-The need to create a standard which unifies data transfer between producing companies and broadcasters of live programs will be discussed in the article, as well as examples of services which may be implemented, and the contribution of all parties involved in the processes for carrying out that standard. In this work, a study is conducted on added services which producers may provide to the broadcasters about content; a system is proposed by which additional communication expenses are not made and a model of information transfer is offered which allows low cost developments to supply new media platforms.

“…Two different techniques are used for DVB-H services delivery. In particular, services appertaining to the audio/video streaming group will be delivered using the RTP protocol (Shulzrinne et al, 2003), while data services will be delivered using the FLUTE protocol (Paila et al, 2004). The latter solution is adopted because FLUTE employs forward error correction (FEC) (Carle and Biersak, 2004), which allows for recovery of losses avoiding the use of retransmissions.…”

“…The application services may be sent via Real Time Protocol (RTP) [31] for real time content (for example a TV program). Non-real-time data may be sent via a File Delivery Over Unidirectional Transport/Asynchronous Layered Coding (FLUTE/ALC) [32] data carousel (for example for file downloads). The Electronic Service Guide (ESG) is also broadcast using FLUTE/ALC.…”

igital Video Broadcasting -Terrestrial (DVB-T) was not only designed for transmitting TV-like video contents but also for transmitting data services [1][2][3]. Digital Video Broadcasting -Handheld (DVB-H) [4][5][6], formerly known as "DVB-X" [7], is a unidirectional communication technology based on DVB-T. DVB-H and DVB-T were developed by the organization called DVB Project [8]. Recently, the DVB ad-hoc group Convergence of Broadcast and Mobile Services (CBMS) developed IPDC (IP Datacast) [9] over the DVB-H standard [10], which is currently being processed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The IPDC over DVB-H standard complements the DVB-H standard by defining OSI layers 3-7 and refining some of the OSI layer 2 specific protocols, especially Program Specific Information (PSI) and Service Information (SI).DVB-H poses novel challenges for handover research. Before talking about the origin of the handover issues in DVB-H it is necessary to take a look at the services that are transmitted in DVB-H networks. The service contents in DVB-H networks are delivered in the form of IP datagrams using IP-based mechanisms or in the form of other network layer datagrams encapsulated into Multi-Protocol Encapsulation (MPE) sections [11]. This kind of service is called IPDC. Although IPDC services can be offered via existing GPRS or UMTS cellular networks by Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) [12][13][14] D S U R V E Y S I E E E C O M M U N I C A T I O N S T h e E l e c t r o n i c M a g a z i n e o f O r i g i n a l P e e r -R e v i e w e d S u r v e y A r t i c l e s XIAODONG YANG, GOETTINGEN UNIVERSITY JANI VÄRE, NOKIA CORPORATION THOMAS J. OWENS, BRUNEL UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhelds (DVB-H) is a standard for broadcasting IP Datacast (IPDC) services to mobile handheld terminals.Based on the DVB-T standard, DVB-H adds new features such as time slicing, MPE-FEC, in-depth interleavers, mandatory cell id identifier, optional 4K-modulation mode and the use of 5 MHz bandwidth in addition to the usually used 6, 7, or 8 MHz raster. IPDC over DVB-H is proposed for ETSI to complement the DVB-H standard by combining IPDC and DVB-H in an end-to-end system. Handover in such unidirectional broadcasting networks is a novel issue. In the last few years since the birth of DVB-H technology, great attention has been given to the performance analysis of DVB-H mobile terminals. Handover is one of the main research topics for DVB-H in mobile scenarios. Better reception quality and greater power efficiency are considered to be the main targets of handover research for DVB-H. New algorithms for different handover stages in DVB-H have been the subject of recent research and are currently being studied. Further novel algorithms need to be designed to improve the mobile reception quality. This article provides a comprehensive survey of the handover algorithms in DVB-H. A systematic evaluation and categorization approach is proposed based on the problems the algorithms solve and th...
