DAIDALOS /11 DVB-H Transport Structure Here are the IP streams TV Channels / IP Services Broadcasters DVB-H Network Providers

DAIDALOS /11 IP within DVB IP Platform: A set of IP/MAC streams and/or receiver devices managed by an organization - The IP/MAC platform concept allows for the coexistence of several non-harmonized IP/MAC address spaces on the same DVB network Two IP streams carry the same IP datagram stream if: - Source IP addresses are identical - Destination IP addresses are identical - IP streams are associated with the same IP platform - Destination IP address is not in unicast range

DAIDALOS /11 Handover from X to DVB-H Popular Multimedia Services, hence unidirectional Handover is triggered by some means from X to DVB-H What kind of information do we need in order to switch to the same stream? Without any prior information it is possible to have this information but takes too long…

DAIDALOS /11 First Step: Scanning / Tuning Worst case: Whole Frequency scanning (e.g. 470MHz – 862MHz) NIT_actual – NIT_other Reduces the frequencies to be scanned to a specific list If does not exist, either found frequencies are used or whole scan is carried on For each found network, accomplish tuning Search within transport stream if the IP service exits or not…

DAIDALOS /11 Handover Overview X DVB-H In case service exists over DVB-H make handover decision Else DAIDALOS could consider creating the service in case of demand, but currently DVB-H would not…(no.21 problem) They target customized services as the next steps… No resource availability check (avoid this) Inform DVB Network about the handover complete (optional) Inform Network X about handover complete (optional) Multicast leave can be synchronized with this information

DAIDALOS /11 IP Matching Platform_id and IP source/destination addresses must be available in case there is no PID available Multicast IP addresses for each IP Platform are globally defined, hence IP addresses can be saved before ESG (Electronic Service Guide) of DVB-H provides IP Platform ID and IP Address of all available service… MIIS can provide with the ESG similar data enabling faster IP Platform ID – IP address information acquisition
