29
What is Mobile TV?

• Mobile Television refers to constant TV being
  provided on mobile terminals and not video
  downloads.
• It can be offered in the following two modes
• Unicast Mode
• Broadcast Mode

30
Problems with Unicast Mode

• A new direct video stream has to be initiated for
  each user.
• This is obviously an inefficient method as it
  tends to be a waste of the spectrum.
• Television commands very high bandwidth and this
  places constraints on the capacity that a network
  has to offer
• The current networks do not have the capacity to
  provide Mobile TV to many users concurrently.

Hence we need Broadcast Mobile TV technologies
for mass deployment of the service.
31
Mobile TV network
A new Network for Broadcast Mobile TV
32
Cellular Vs Non-Cellular

• The addressable market for Mobile TV is not
  limited to current Mobile network operators.
• Laptops, Video Cameras and other portable media
  devices, such as the Sony PSP, represent strong
  niche device, However, the relatively limited
  volumes in which these are shipped when compared
  to Mobile phones, present problems for the
  development of a sustainable commercial service.

33
Technology Choices

• Open Standard
• DVB-H (Digital video broadcast for handheld)
• DMB (Digital Multimedia broadcast)
• MBMS (Mobile Broadcast Multicast Services)
• ISDB-T ( Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting
  Terrestrial)
• Restricted to Japan
• Proprietary
• MediaFLO ( Forward Link Only)
• This project provides an overview of DVB-H, DMB
  and MediaFLO

34
Technology Deployments

• Mobile TV Technologies will be adopted regionally.

Average Channel Switching Time 5 seconds 1.5 seconds 1.5 seconds (T-DMB) 5.0 seconds (S-DMB)
Video watch time 4 hours 3.8 hours 2 hours
38
Technology Comparison 2

• The three technologies are similar in most ways
  but are not completely the same.
• Qualcomms MediaFLO has an edge over the other
  two.
• Better Channel Switching Time
• The main disadvantage - proprietary nature.
• For DVB-H the most suitable spectrum is in the
  UHF frequency range
• but UHF is currently being used by the analog
  television services.
• The DVB-H technology is mainly being promoted by
  Nokia and is likely to dominate the European
  Market.

39
Technology Comparison 3

• DVB-H in US and Canada
• In the US, Crown Castle (Modeo) and Aloha
  partners (Hiwire) are expected to launch DVB-H
  services by end of 2006.
• In Canada, Look Communications has done a DVB-H
  trial in the spectrum range of 2.5 GHz.
• Lack of Handsets for this spectrum
• DMB services were the first broadcast mobile TV
  services to be launched.
• Very Low data rates when compared to the other
  two
• South Korea has implemented both the T-DMB and
  S-DMB networks.
• T-DMB is free to air service in South Korea

  channels provides additional revenue potential,
  through services such as voting, chatting,
  purchasing, and data and Web-based services using
  the mobile.
• Opportunity to offer unique program channels that
  allow brand differentiation.

46
Canadian Regulation Study

• CRTC ruling in April 2006 exempts the mobile TV
  services from broadcasting regulations.
• This is a boost for the adoption of mobile TV
  services in Canada as more popular programs can
  now be shown and this will help increase the
  subscriber numbers.
• Industry Canada is expected to follow a similar
  process as the U.S. in developing commercial
  operations in the 700 MHz spectrum.

47
Canadian Consumer

• 68 wireless penetration in Ontario
• Majority of the users are in the age group 18-34,
  hence this is an ideal target audience for Mobile
  TV services
• 71 of the users in this group use the cell phone
  for their Personal use.
• The GTA region has over 3.5 M wireless
  subscribers

48
Service Options

49
Conclusions

• Mobile TV Technologies will be adopted regionally
• The Value chain analysis shows that the telecom
  service providers will have to share the revenues
  with the broadcasters.
• UHF Spectrum in Canada will be recovered in the
  next one year.
• The pricing for mobile TV should be a monthly
  subscription fee between US 10-15 which would
  help recover the cost in a five year period.
• Major sporting events such as FIFA world cup
  attract many customers.

PSTN
Data Channels run across Internet, need client
software on device
Email SMTP/IMAP(POP3) Web HTTP Instant
Messaging various protocols WAP WAP protocol
stack VoIP SIP, H.323, and others
Other Channels supported by almost all devices
Voice Go through PSTN SMS Can be sent from
Internet gateways, but depends on phone number
not IP address for delivery

Channel Tier wireless UM
Notification Channel
Voice, SMS, WAP push, and IM
Message Channel

• Voice Currently used channel

• Email channel Main channel

Enhanced for wireless delivery by adding a
Mobile Email Enabler in front of messaging
servers pull manually initiate, or schedule
based synchronization Half pull use
out-band notification to trigger
synchronization Push keep the session
alive Standardized mobile email IETF-Lemonade

Device Tier wireless UM

• Features are of importance for Wireless Unified
  Messaging
• Audio playback and Image display
• Codecs supported by devices are determined
• Device
• OS
• Applications added by manufacturer or third-party
  software vendors

• Transcoding Solutions
• At the back-end server before delivery
• Depends on whatever the device can support
• Media player or image viewer on the device to
  support vendor specific codecs
• Depends on APIs provided by OS

125
Design Concerns Summary

• Existing architecture is a start point

• For unified architecture
• wireless UM
• wireless email solution
• transcoding

• For integrated architecture
• Wireless UM
• separate wireless email solution
• transcoding
• integration at the client side
