Dear Burak Simsek,
Thank you very much for your presentation on DVB-Integration.
The presentation was very well received and as you may have noticed
there was immense interest in this topic from the IEEE 802.21 WG.
As discussed during the Nov meeting we would request you to attend the
Jan meeting in Taipei and provide further details related to different
Usage Models and Use Case scenarios and high level handover flow
diagrams for these use cases.
Once we have determined the viability of these use cases and
market/business interests we can discuss how to proceed further on this
topic. I am really looking forward to a productive discussion on this
topic in the Jan meeting.
Kind Regards
-Vivek

Subject: IEEE 802.21 - DVB Integration Presentation
Dear Colleagues,
Wednesday afternoon at 02:00 PM we will present our proposal considering
the
integration of unidirectional technologies such as DVB-H into IEEE
802.21. This integration would allow IEEE 802.21 to support hybrid
networks, where powerful bi-directional technologies like i.e. WiMAX or
UMTS are enriched with broadcast dedicated technologies. The current
proposal focuses on DVB-H, but should be generic enough to allow
extensions handling other broadcast technologies.
During our presentation on Wednesday, we will look at the major features
of unidirectional technologies, particularly the DVB-H standard, and
motivate why we see a merit in covering them in IEEE 802.21- both from a
technical and a business point of view. To round up the talk, we'll
identify open issues and develop potential steps towards this proposed
technology integration.
This proposal has been prepared by Fraunhofer Institute, Deutsche
Telekom, T-Systems, NEC, Technical University of Braunschweig, IRT and
Eurecom. Those companies/institutes also support the proposal
officially. Additionally, Prof. Reimers, who's known as the father of
DVB in Europe has announced his support to this proposal as follows:
"In my capacity as Chairman of the Technical Module of the International
DVB Project I strongly support the inclusion of DVB-H in IEEE 802.21.
Mobile TV based on DVB-H is being introduced in many countries around
the world. Whereas in the first phase it will mostly bring entertainment
services to handhelds such as mobile phones it provides a generic data
downstream with high data rates. It is clear that numerous companies are
working on the integration of 3G networks and this additional DVB-H
broadcast downstream into "hybrid" network structures. The IEEE would
therefore be well advised to incorporate certain broadcast technologies
in IEEE 802.21." Ulrich Reimers
We would be happy to discuss this topic with you either on this mailing
list or during the 802 convention.
