Abstract

One main trend in 4^th generation networks (4G) is to provide a common and scalable framework for seamless communication through a number of access technologies, wired and wireless, including unidirectional technologies such as DVB. In this paper we present an architecture for seamless mobility and QoS for the integration of unidirectional networks like DVB, featuring ubiquitous access and seamless mobility.
