Performance evaluation of the MPE-iFEC Sliding RS Encoding for DVB-H streaming services
2008
This article studies the performance of the Sliding RS Encoding (SRSE) in the transmission of streaming services in DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting - Transmission System for Handheld Terminals) networks. The SRSE forms part of a set of specifications called MPE-iFEC which has been recently defined in the DVB-SH (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite Services to Handheld Devices) standard and is fully compatible with the link layer of DVB-H. MPE-iFEC is capable of encoding information related to different datagram bursts in a jointly manner in order to counteract the long signal blockages expected in satellite reception. This is what is usually referred to as Multi-Burst Encoding (MBE) an…
Policy-based channel access mechanism selection for QoS provision in IEEE 802.11e
2007
The appearance of the 802.11e standard made the 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs) capable of providing different levels of quality of service (QoS). This standard defines two new channel access mechanisms (CAMs), namely the enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) and the HCF controlled channel access (HCCA). The introduction of two CAMs increases the complexity of traffic management, since now not only the available resources have to be distributed, but also the optimal CAM for each data flow has to be selected. However, the best CAM selection algorithm is still not clear. This paper presents and analyses different CAM selection policies in order to derive the best-suited strat…
Application Layer FEC for Mobile TV Delivery in IP Datacast Over DVB-H Systems
2009
In this paper we investigate the potential gain that can be obtained in DVB-H using application layer forward error correction (AL-FEC) to perform a multi-burst protection of the transmission for improving the reception of streaming services for mobile terminals. Compared to the conventional approach with link layer multi protocol encapsulation FEC (MPE-FEC), this technique allows to increase the robustness of the DVB-H transmission not only as a function of the capacity devoted for error repair (FEC overhead), but also as a function of the number of bursts jointly encoded. The main drawback of this approach is an increase of the network latency, that can be translated into a larger service…
On the Provisioning of Mobile Digital Terrestrial TV Services to Vehicles With DVB-T
2012
[EN] Most of the DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting -Terrestrial) networks deployments worldwide have been designed for fixed rooftop antennas and high transmission capacity, not providing good coverage level for vehicular mobile reception. This letter analyzes how to combine different technical solutions, so far studied individually, in order to increase the robustness of the transmission for vehicular reception to provide in-band mobile services. In particular, we consider: receive antenna diversity, hierarchical modulation, and Application Layer Forward Error Correction (AL-FEC). Performance evaluation results have been obtained by means of simulations, laboratory tests, and field measure…
