Mobile TV Standards
Standards: From transport to Codec • Audio Codec – – • MPEG-4 Laser, SVG, . . Streaming protocol – – • OMA BCAST, DVB- H CMBS(MPEG-7) Interactivity – • Ipsec, OMA, ISMAcrypt, SRTP, … Metadata – • H 263, mpeg-4 sp and asp, h 264, vc-1, real-video Security – • More than 1, 000 combinations For an end to end Solution! Video Codecs – – • Amr (nb and wb), mp 3, aac, he-aac+ wma, real-audio =>GLOBAL INTEROPERABILITY CHALLENGE! RTP MPEG-2 TS Transport network – – – GSM/GPRS/UMTS and hspda CDMA, CDMA 2000, . . DAB, DMB DVB-T, DVB-H Mediaflo etc… -8 -
2. 5 G, 3 G and Beyond • Features – – – 2. 5 G (30 kbps), 3 G (200 kbps), HDSPA (500 kbps) Now: 3 gpp pss and 3 gpp 2 (one to one streaming) Based on standards mpeg-4 a/v codecs RTP/UDP/IP carriage Future: 3 gpp MBMS and 3 gpp 2 BCMCS (one to many, multicast enabled) • Analysis – Service already deployed on existing 3 G Networks infrastructure but – Quality of the service has to be improved – Current infrastructure not -yet- broadcast enabled and is not scalable • Broadcast services require additional VOD infrastructure to scale -9 -
DVB-h • Features – – – Based on standard mpeg-4 A/V codecs Between 200 to 500 kbps per stream RTP/UDP/IP carriage further encapsulated over DVB-T Standard Conditional Access Using DVB-T infrastructure • Analysis – Higher quality TV-like experience – Potential new revenues for broadcast operators – IP carriage allows 3 G/DVB-H convergence more easily but – Revenue models not straightforward for Telcos – Needed infrastructure deployment to achieve in-door coverage efficiently – New frequency allocation requires governmental approval - 10 -
T-DMB, DMB-S, ISDB-T • Features – Satellite or terrestrial broadcast – Using MPEG-4 codecs and MPEG TS – Between 200 to 500 kbps per stream • Analysis – Commercially deployed in Japan and Korea – Higher quality TV-like experience – Potential new revenues for broadcast operators But – Limited number of channels – Limited convergence between 3 G and DMB and ISDB-T – Revenue models not straightforward for Telcos – New frequency allocation requires governmental approval - 11 -
Other Standards • Media. Flo – Technology proposed in the US by Qualcomm • DMBT – Technology developed in China – Standard undefined – Extension outside of China unclear • Wimax – Possible alternative transport medium – Multicast, transports and codecs are not defined - 12 -
