6 Alcatel-Lucent Unlimited Mobile TV Solution
New DVB-SH Specification Enables Delivery of Mobile
Multimedia Services Using Hybrid Satellite/Terrestrial Networks
The new Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite services to Handhelds
(DVB-SH) specification is an evolution of the Digital Video
Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H) standard. It enhances the
range of DVB standards for the delivery of mobile digital television.
The DVB-SH standard enables the delivery of IP-based media content
and data to handheld terminals like mobile phones and PDAs via
satellite. It has been designed for frequen cies below 3 GHz. It com -
plements the existing DVB-H physical layer standard and uses the
DVB IP Datacast (IPDC) set of content delivery, electronic service
guide and service purchase and protection standards.
DVB-SH includes features such as turbo coding for forward error
correc tion and a highly flexible interleaver in an advanced system
designed to cope with a hybrid satellite/terrestrial network topology.
Satellite transmis sion ensures wide area coverage and the terrestrial
component assures cov erage where the satellite signal can not be
received, as may be the case in urban areas.
