Title
Video Streaming over MBMS: A System Design Approach
Abstract
Abstract—Recently, Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) has been specified by 3GPP as a Release 6 feature in order,to meet,the increasing,demands,of multimedia download and streaming applications in mobile,scenarios. H.264, as the unique recommended video codec for MBMS, serves as an essential component,because,of its high compression efficiency and,easy network,integration capability. In this study, we introduce and analyze the main system design,parameters,that influence the performance,of the H.264 encoded,video streaming,over,EGPRS and,UMTS bearers. Effective design methodology,including,robustness against packet,losses and,efficient use of the scarce radio resources,is presented. Care is taken,on,the processing power of mobiles, service delay constraints, and heterogeneous receiving conditions. Then, we investigate application of an advanced receiver concept, the so-called permeable layer receiver, in MBMS video broadcasting environments. Selected simulation,results show,the suitability of certain parameter,selection as well as the benefits provided,by the advanced receiver concept. Finally, a real-time test bed for MBMS called RealNeS-MBMS is presented. With this tool, a standard-compliant GERAN network,can be simulated,and the system design procedure including H.264 based,video broadcast,streaming,can be evaluated,in real-time.
