Özet
In this paper, the use of Mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) as terrestrial multicast/broadcast segment for the delivery of multimedia content to mobile users in DVB-SH networks is investigated. The WiMAX Multicast/Broadcast Services (MBS) protocol stack is defined after a brief description of DVBSH system specifications and multicast/broadcast services in WiMAX. Consequently, the symbiotic Mobile WiMAX and DVBSH architecture is presented and key issues are listed. A modified MBS protocol stack and the functional enhancements for the WiMAX MBS are described for better provisioning of DVBSH services via Mobile WiMAX where satellite coverage is not available. © 2008 IEEE.
