IP based convergence service for Terrestrial DMB

Abstract

As several current and emerging Mobile TV systems are made to transparently and efficiently integrate with IP starting from the design phase, Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcast (T-DMB), or DMB also is required to evolve as the IP based service. In the paper, we propose the IP based convergence service for DMB, and the IP based DMB gateway and agents for achieving easy and transparent integration of DMB and IP. And also, we verify the feasibility and benefits of our proposals by implementing some example services.
