DVB-x for delivering services Mika Grundström mika.grundstrom@nokia.com tel. 03-272 5894
Outline • Introduction • Services • DVB-x specifications • MPEG over DVB-x • Delivering data (IP) services • Conclusions
Introduction • DVB project • ETSI specified standards • Delivery of video services but... • Broadcast is : • video • audio • data
Services • Traditional service: • Broadcast video (MPEG-2 TS) • Newer services: • Enhanced/interactive television • VoD • KoD • MoD • Internet access
DVB Broadcast Channels • There are number of broadcast channels: • DVB-S : Satellite • DVB-T : Terrestrial • DVB-C : Cable • Traditionally the use have been video broadcasting • In the future also data • Economical and massive bandwidth pipe for citizen’s Internet access
DVB-x standards • DVB-S • Satellite service and on-going • Video and data (uni-directionality) • DVB-C • Cable service, on-going • Video and Internet access (bi-directionality) • DVB-T • Terrestrial service , analog switch off • Broadcast video (regulatory issues)
DVB-S • Mature broadcast video service via satellite • Bit rate varies max 40 Mbps • Continental scope • Internet access and data services • Requires out-of-band return channel
DVB-C • Developing broadcast video service • Big potential in Internet access offering • Bit rates about 34 Mbps • Requires network update in many cases
DVB-T • Trial phase, three transmitters • Bandwidth capacity 20-32 Mbps • Mobile reception possible • Unidirectional • Data services limited (regulations)
MPEG over DVB • Traditionally MPEG-2 TS over DVB-x • Broadcast service • Other services - MPEG-2 TS is framing • How about Video over IP over MPEG-2 TS over DVB-x? • Multiplexing dilemma
MPEG over DVB • Problem with the service provider • Duplicated service infrastructure • Content management problem • Service Information (SI) needed • User and Program information • Automatic tuning to TS • DVB Multimedia Home Platform (Java based) • Service creation
Providing data services • Sharing downstream large bandwidth • Requires return channel • Routing problem • Spectrum allocation management • Location based services
Data Broadcasting • DVB defined encapsulation • Multiprotocol encapsulation over MPEG-2 TS • Does not define a complete system model • Network operator has an option with the use of different technologies • Linking the Internet (bi-directional) and broadcast (unidirectional) channels is a challenge • routing issues • TCP acknowledgements • HTTP and other protocol support

Protocol issues • Service Announcement Protocol • Simple protocol for informing of multicast sessions • Service Description Protocol • Describes multimedia session properties • Uni-directional Link Routing • Routing over broadcast links • Currently not applicable • Unidirectional Hyper Text Transfer Protocol • Robust protocol to transfer HTTP • retransmissions and error correction
Conclusions • DVB Broadcast channels are cost-effective way providing Fast Internet Access • Content packaging is in key role • Mobile reception using DVB-T increases the number of users and possible applications • Technical solutions exist • Maturity to be achieved • Large scale deployment can be started today
