“…Meanwhile, the storage manager system is responsible for storing, retrieving, and organising input content from the object carousel, private sections (broadcast channel), and IP content (DSL, GPRS) via the broadband channel as well as transcoded content from the content adaptation engine. The storage manager provides the access control with functions to trigger and extract content from the delivery channels, that is, DVB broadcast channel and IP broadband channel [4][5][6][7]. These functions include the following: (i) DSMCC object carousel, DVB PES, and DVB private sections downloading from the DVB transport stream, (ii) IP extraction within multiprotocol encapsulation (private sections) (iii) IP extraction from the broadband channel.…”

This paper provides an innovative solution, namely, the distributed storage manager that opens a new path for highly interactive and personalized services. The distributed storage manager provides an enhancement to the MHP storage management functionality acting as a value added middleware distributed across the network. The distributed storage manager system provides multiple protocol support for initializing and downloading both streamed and file-based content and provides optimum control mechanisms to organize the storing and retrieval of content that are remained accessible to other multiple heterogeneous devices.

International audienceOur aim in this work is to develop profit sharing strategies for coooperative 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Digital Video Broadcasting - Next Generation Handheld (DVB-NGH) systems offering mobile TV service. We first study the capacity of the hybrid system for offering such a service and derive the associated cost for each network. We then focus on the sharing of profit between LTE and DVB operators as well as TV channels providers, taking into account the subscription revenues as well as the infrastructure and operation costs. We consider two cases: one in which both LTE and DVB networks are managed by a single operator and one in which the operators are separate. In both cases, we derive closed-form expressions for each player profit share using coalition game concept Shapley value. We further obtain the players optimal strategies, at the Nash equilibrium, where each player tries to maximize its own profit

This work presents a strategic investment framework for mobile TV infrastructure. We address the question of whether an operator should enter the mobile TV market and, if yes, how and when to do so. We perform a capacity and QoS analysis that shows that Mobile TV is not a simple added-on service but requires new planning strategies that need heavy investments. We consider two possible settings: a competitive mobile TV network where a digital video broadcasting (DVB) operator and a cellular network operator build their independent networks and a cooperative setting where the TV network is mainly relying on a DVB infrastructure whose coverage can be complemented by a cellular network. Two main issues alter the investment decision of the stakeholders, namely, the market uncertainty and the competition or the willingness of cooperation between the main technological players. We define a game theoretical real options framework and propose a novel bi-level dynamic programming algorithm that solves the underlying profit maximization problem. Our numerical results illustrate the optimal investment decisions of both actors and the impact of the system parameters as well as the degree of uncertainty on the investment dates.
