Planning of Mobile TV service in standalone and cooperative DVB-NGH and LTE networks
Résumé
We study in this paper the planning of DVB-NGH and LTE, both separately and in cooperation, for the offering of mobile TV service. For the case of standalone DVB-NGH, we show the trade-off between coverage and capacity. In the case of standalone LTE, we evaluate the need for expensive infrastructure deployment. In the DVB-NGH/LTE cooperative case, we investigate two scenarios: coverage extension and service extension and show how both DVB-NGH and LTE benefit from the two cooperation schemes: DVB-NGH can extend its coverage and offered services and LTE is able to decrease its infrastructure and hence cost.
