4. DAIDALOS 21-07-0360-00-00004/18 D igital V ideo B roadcasting DVB Initiated in 1991 for digital TV More than 260 broadcasters, manufacturers, network operators in over 35 countries Currently more than 150 million DVB receivers are in use Traditional broadcasting (TV Channels) over different media types DVB-C (able) DVB-S (atellite) DVB-T (errestrial) DVB-H is based on DVB-T standard but designed for small, portable devices like Mobile Phones. Optimized reception in mobile environments through new modulation and error correction mechanisms (better signal quality) By the use of time-slices is perfect suited for small, battery- powered devices

5. DAIDALOS 21-07-0360-00-00005/18 DVB-H DVB Transmitter 1- Up to 40 km coverage 2- Around 40 channels with 300kbps 3- Unlimited number of receivers 4- Supported by over 60 manufacturers

6. DAIDALOS 21-07-0360-00-00006/18 DVB-H Mobile TV with DVB-H has been tested in more than 40 countries 7 countries launched commercial services Finland, Italy, India, Albania, Philippines, Vietnam, Nigeria Other countries are planning initial services for 2008 (Germany, Russia, Spain, USA, UK…) Example United Kingdom (Arqiva - Oxford) : 85% satisfied customers, 72% willing to pay for the service within 12 months 37% of usage while commuting to and from work An average of 24 minutes of view per session / 4 hours per week Traditional TV programs more attractive than made-for-mobile content Customized and interactive services are demanded such as video Blogging

DAIDALOS 21-07-0360-00-00007/18 IP Datacast DVB was initially designed for Digital TV reception One-to-many unidirectional connections No Interactivity, passive TV watchers MPEG2 streams No IP, no other service IP Datacast Developed by the DVB CBMS (Convergence of Broadcast and Mobile Services ) Working Group Enables traditional IP based services over DVB Defines service enabler for broadcast services Purchase, Service Description, schedule and acquisition… Supports the integration of cellular networks as service enablers Return Channel

10. DAIDALOS 21-07-0360-00-000010/18 The missing part In the following years we will dominantly witness services using hybrid networks Devices capable of UMTS, DVB-H, WLAN… are already there For a common user interface an interactive mobile TV standard with a media independent Java API (JSR 272) is also there Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Mobile Broadcast Services Enabler Suite (BCAST) Open Mobile Alliance Supports DVB-H, 3GPP MBMS, 3GPP2 and mobile unicast streaming systems at the application layerDVB-H3GPPMBMS3GPP2unicast Interaction with other technologies at the network and data link layer is missing IEEE 802.21 is currently the best candidate to fill in this gap! Different than other networks: Hybrid Networks fundamentally need cooperation among existing technologies hence need IEEE 802.21 more than others

11. DAIDALOS 21-07-0360-00-000011/18 DVB and Handover Intra-technology handover for DVB is already defined Inter-technology handover reasons given in the current draft are also true for DVB deployments QoS concerns, service availability, mobility, price, power management, network selection… Some handover scenarios: Especially in suburban and intra-urban areas handover between DVB and UMTS/WIMAX is needed Automobiles equipped with DVB - UMTS- WIMAX already being tested by some manufacturers Price issues might foster use of WLAN when available In case of service unavailability on a specific DVB network choose UMTS or Wimax

12. DAIDALOS 21-07-0360-00-000012/18 How to Integrate IEEE 802.21 assumes bidirectional connection Information can be exchanged between peer MIHF entities This is not directly possible for DVB Needs an uplink channel for bidirectional connection Communication with own MIHF is possible in all cases Integrate unidirectional DVB

18. DAIDALOS 21-07-0360-00-000018/18 Conclusion Hybrid Broadcast/Mobile Networks composed of 3GPP and IEEE technologies have significant financial advantages for all mobile network operators Initial mobile TV services using hybrid networks in different countries have shown that customer acceptance is very high We will witness more and more hybrid networks in the following years Hybrid Networks need more cooperation among different technologies than vertical handovers do IEEE 802.21 is the best candidate to provide with the required cooperation An amendment of IEEE 802.21 supporting vertical handovers with DVB will have high impact on offered services, hence on the market value of hybrid networks!

31. DAIDALOS 21-07-0360-00-000031/18 Step 2: DVB with virtual bidirectional link No changes needed in the standard as long as L3 is used for interaction with peer MIHF entities Handover with DVB in virtual bidirectional case includes handover of the downlink channel handover of the uplink channel (other technologies) Task group should define required interfaces in order to: determine the need for virtual bidirectional channel manage the choice of the uplink channel for DVB build virtual bidirectional channel for interactive services manage handovers of the uplink channel (stable virtual bidirectional link) manage changes from virtual bidirectional to bidirectional or vice versa
