On the Calculation of the Maximal MOT Throughput in T-DMB

Digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) is one of burgeoning communication technologies, which can provide audio, video, and data services to mobile terminals using broadcasting infrastructures. Data services in terrestrial- digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) inherently have the disadvantage of retransmitting a lot of data unnecessarily for reliability. This paper proposes a novel optimized transmission policy using segment size and repetition number variability, which maximizes the object- level throughput as well as improves reliability. The theoretical modeling and simulation results demonstrate that our policy provides a throughput gain over the conventional protocol.
