Abstract :
In this paper, we describe how telecom and transmission technologies could be used to offer interactive television (ITV) and Internet multimedia service (IMS). We propose to use the ATSC-DTV system for the downlink and DVB-RCT standard to implement the wireless return channel. This paper also presents some technical aspects of the system implementation.
