Abstract

The recently introduced Digital Video Broadcasting Satellite to Handheld standard (DVB-SH) allows for digital broadcasting service provision to small mobile terminals in satellite/terrestrial hybrid networks. In this paper, the key results from an in-depth DVB-SH performance assessment campaign lasting two years are reported. The performance results reported encompass simulation, laboratory and field trials key findings and allow deriving recommendations for preferred system parameters and configurations.
