Abstract :
This paper provides an experimental analysis on optimal Internet protocol (IP) packet size in error prone DVB-H channel. Efficient transmission of data requires reliability of the data and bandwidth efficiency of the data itself. Overheads in the form of IP packet header data reduce bandwidth efficiency. However, larger packet sizes minimize header data but have a high probability of being corrupted during transmission thus reducing the reliability. Obtaining a balance between optimal packet sizes that can reduce overheads while still providing reliability is essential. Simulation conducted show that IP packet sizes between the range of 1024 to 2048 bytes show good efficiency in terms of bandwidth and reliability
