IP and Broadcasting Systems Convergence

Convergence of periodic broadcasting and video-on-demand

Research on video-on-demand transmissions is essentially divided into periodic broadcasting methods and on-demand methods. Periodic broadcasting is aimed to schedule transmissions off-line, so that an optimized time schedule is achieved. On the other hand video-ondemand has to deal with constraints at requesting times. Thus, studies on these areas have been quite isolated. Obviously, in periodi...

Convergence of Mobile Communications and Broadcasting: A long term perspective

Terrestrial unidirectional broadcasting is currently being substituted by wired bidirectional IP-based services. In practical day-to-day use, user mobility for the ‘last mile’ is supported by wireless local area networks with massively growing data rates. Terrestrial bidirectional mobile communications, on the other hand, is currently moving into its fourth technological generation. With the ne...

Improving the convergence of IP routing protocols

Preamble The IP protocol suite has been initially designed to provide best effort reachability among the nodes of a network or an inter-network. The goal was to design a set of routing solutions that would allow routers to automatically provide end-to-end connectivity among hosts. Also, the solution was meant to recover the connectivity upon the failure of one or multiple devices supporting the...
