| description | Mobile communication services are getting more and more important and, in particular, multimedia services have
attracted the interest of the users. Mobile TV is one of the most demanded candidates. Powerful and efficient communication
systems are needed, which provide high capacities, especially at the downlink. Furthermore, interactivity is essential for
supporting the user needs and to extend the service offering. As one possible solution to meet the mentioned requirements, we
consider the combination of the cellular network UMTS and the mobile broadcast network DVB-H, which form a hybrid network.
We investigate the performance of hybrid networks and develop a system model, which describes the hybrid network and the load
switching between both networks. One of the contributions is the definition of the switching bound concept, which represents an
efficient tool to assess the necessity and the feasibility of hybrid networks and the amount of load switching. The performance
indicators cell load and grade of service are analyzed by using theoretical and realistic scenarios. |
