“…Yrjölä et al (2016) describe scenarios for the convergence of broadcast and mobile broadband where the primary usage of the UHF band by existing and future digital video broadcasting (DVB) progresses towards future communication technologies through a hybrid usage of the band by DVB and/or downlink LTE and hybrid usage by DVB and/or LTE including uplink. Architectures for implementing the convergence are further discussed in (Marques et al 2015).…”

“…It could be on a wide-screen TV in a living room or on a handheld device such as smart phone or tablet. The trends of TV consumption patterns like on-demand, mobile, and Ultra HD quality imposes formidable challenges for the broadcast of the future [70], suggesting that it will be quite similar to the mobile broadband in many aspects [71]. Table 3.1, extracted from [70], shows the strengths and weaknesses of each network type.…”

Table 3.1, extracted from [70], shows the strengths and weaknesses of each network type. It is clear that a symbiotic relationship between BNOs and MNOs could be possible, where Convergent Services which use both networks are improved in terms of quality and reliability.…”

Point-to-Multipoint Services on Fifth-Generation Mobile Networks

Point-to-multipoint services over mobile networks have always been of interest to several verticals. They are not only limited to the delivery of television, but other applications such as Internet of Things (IoT), Vehicular-to-Everything, Public Warning Services (PWS); which can efficiently leverage the capacity that the use of point-of-multipoint provides. In this regard, mobile networks had their first version of a Broadcast/Multicast extension in 3G, known as Multicast/Broadcast Multimedia Services (MBMS). However, this technology was considered limited in technical and economical terms and did never successfully take off. The 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) version, enhanced MBMS (eMBMS), provided the much needed enhancements by listening to the requirements of the broadcast industry. Broadcasters, specially in Europe, see in this technology a potential terrestrial broadcast standard able to provision point-tomultipoint services for both rooftop antennas, pedestrian devices and moving vehicles. Yet, the requirement of New Radio based point-to-multipoint mode was defined in the early stages of 5G, but it was not until Release 17 that this requirement started to get addressed, in the form of 5G Multicast Broadcast Services (5MBS). These point-to-multipoint mobile standards compete against the existing European standard DVB-T2 and the American ATSC 3.0, already deployed commercially. It remains to be seen what will happen to the lower band of the UHF, which is currently allocated to primary broadcast services in ITU region 1 and an agenda topic for the World Radio Congress of 2023. In other regions, part of the band has been allocated to 5G communications.This dissertation covers the state-of-the-art in LTE eMBMS Release 14, also known as Enhanced Television Services (ENTV). ENTV provided a suite of radio and core enhancements that made eMBMS into a viable terrestrial broadcast standard. The latest iteration of this technology is known as LTEbased 5G Broadcast; even though it is not New Radio or 5G Core based. To bridge this gap, research efforts by academia, public and private enterprises evaluated how to provide a 5G-based solution for point-to-multipoint services. The most notable effort in this regard is the Horizon 2020 project 5G-Xcast,
