“…DMI provides a standard framework for managing and tracking components remotely and exchanging management information securely [9], [10]. This paper utilizes results of [5] and related standards to propose a QoS-MS system for real-time multimedia services delivered over IP networks to a broadcast network. The QoS-MS system is viable for existing DVB-H network operators enabling the broadcaster to monitor and control the quality of real-time multimedia services delivered to its DVB-H gateways over IP based networks.…”

The MobileTV, IPTV, and DVB standards (DVB-H/T) have been defined to offer mobile users interactive multimedia services with quality of service (QoS) consistency analogous to TV services. However, the market has yet to provide effective and economical solutions for the real-time delivery of such services to the corresponding transmitters over multi-domain IP networks. The monitoring system proposed in this paper enables the QoS in the IP networks involved in the delivery of real-time multimedia content to the transmitters to be ascertained. The system utilizes the QoS parameters defined in MPEG-2 Transport Streams to detect problems occurring in the heterogeneous multi-domain IP networks. The ability to detect problems having an adverse effect on QoS allows appropriate control actions to be determined to recover the QoS across the composite IP network. The design and implementation of the proposed QoS-Monitoring system (QoS-MS) is presented, followed by analysis of experimental results that demonstrate the feasibility of the system.

“…In 2007, the EC announced its support for DVB-H as the common European standard and urged the 27 member states to adopt it (European Commission, 2007b). Due to such political pressure, some predict that DVB-H technology will lead the mobile TV phone market (Centonza et al, 2007). However, unlike other European countries, Germany is offering full services based on the DMB standard and Italy has been implementing DMB trials (TNO- ICT, 2007).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the status of current mobile TV phone usage and discuss the issues for strategic implications for the communications and mobile TV industry. Design/methodology/approach -Real tracking data, collected from server's logs during 2006 and 2007 from South Korean satellite DMB providers, were analyzed according to users' age group, peak viewing time of programs, location usage and program duration. Further analysis with the previous literature led to inferences about strategic implications. Findings -The analysis revealed the current mobile TV usage patterns: widespread user age group, peak viewing time, high indoor usage and longer viewing time. These results shaped strategic implications, furthering and enhancing a personalized media experience.Research limitations/implications -The data set, collected from the subscription-based satellite DMB usage in South Korea, is well recognized as being a technological frontier. Further cultural comparison research work on mobile TV usage is required to validate the strategic implications for a wider cross cultural adoption. Practical implications -This research benefits the strategic planning of the mobile communications and entertainment content industries in decision-making regarding the improvement of hands-on experience for mobile TV users. Originality/value -The findings, based on the mobile TV real tracking data, collected in South Korea for over two years contrast to that of other countries, which only begin to experience the roll-out of a full commercial service. Consequently, the data presented here highlights an important role in understanding and shaping of the mobile TV phone market for other parts of the world.
