Abstract

One of the most promising areas for interactive mobile TV is broadcasting live events such as sports. In this context, viewers benefit from additional information and notification features. To investigate the possibilities of such mobile TV services in a telecommunications context, research projects require a versatile environment for prototyping and testing convergent architectures and services. In this paper, we present our interactive mobile TV platform for early stage technology and service prototyping. We focus on critical broadcast/unicast network aspects and our interactive media client. We illustrate the application of the system to live mobile TV scenarios and outline promising future research directions.
