Approach for Improving Receiver Performance in Loss-Free Handovers in DVB-H Networks
Overview DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld) is one of the key technologies that enables new services such as Mobile Phone TV to be used in handhelds. DVB-H enhances mobile features found in the DVB-T standard, enabling new techniques, e.g., loss-free handover. For services such as mobile TV, loss-free handovers must be supported. Different positioning technologies, such as GPS, also play an important role in enhancing today's mobile technologies. This paper proposes a new feature for DVB-H, a new method for signalling cell coverage area, thus improving performance for loss-free handovers. The proposed method is targeted at DVB-H handhelds that have GPS receivers. The benefits of the proposed method for handover and power consumption are evaluated.
