摘要:
Disclosed is a method and an apparatus for supporting smooth and seamless handover of a terminal receiving digital broadcasting in a digital broadcasting system. A handover method by a network node includes the steps of receiving a handover proposal message from a terminal, the handover proposal message containing a time for signal quality evaluation, a service ID, and a cell ID, the terminal receiving a broadcasting service from a serving cell; evaluating signal qualities of candidate cells providing a service corresponding to the service ID; calculating a handover candidate parameter based on a result of evaluation of the signal qualities of the candidate cells, the handover candidate parameter indicating time available for handover with regard to respective candidate cells; and transmitting the handover candidate parameter to the terminal.

An apparatus and method for continuously providing a selected service being watched when a user moves out of a cell or network in a Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H) Convergence of Broadcasting and Mobile Service (CBMS) system. Information required for a handover is provided to a terminal using an interactive channel. The handover for the terminal can be performed using a conventional scheme and an enhanced scheme even when the user moves to a new cell while watching the selected service. As the enhanced handover scheme is provided, the user can receive a seamless service. In a mobile environment, a handover scenario for the terminal can be efficiently provided.

A method and apparatus for receiving user roaming and service roaming services from a foreign network in a terminal that has moved from a home network to the foreign network in a digital broadcasting system are provided, in which the terminal receives an ESG from a foreign service provider after entering into the foreign network, selects a roaming type between user roaming and service roaming by determining if an intended broadcasting service is provided from the foreign network, referring to the ESG, receives the intended service from the foreign service provider, if the roaming type is the user roaming, and receives the intended service from a home service provider over the foreign network, if the roaming type is the service roaming.

Disclosed is a DVB-H CBMS system by which a user can continue to view a program being in service even when the transport stream or IP platform changes while the user views the program. In the DVB-H CBMS system, the system transmits service mapping information according to transport streams or IP platforms to the terminal, so that the system can provide a service without interruption to the terminal even when a user of the terminal moves out of a current cell or network into a new cell or network while receiving a service that the user selected.
摘要:
A method for providing a broadcast service to a terminal by a network in a Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H) Convergence of Broadcasting and Mobile Service (CBMS) system. The method includes generating Program Specific Information/Service Information (PSI/SI) indicative of information related to a broadcast service requested by the terminal; generating mapping information for information on the broadcast service in an Internet Protocol (IP) platform from which the terminal is currently receiving the broadcast service, and for information on a broadcast service corresponding to the broadcast service in IP platforms other than the IP platform; and including the generated mapping information in an IP/Medium Access Control (MAC) Information Notification Table (INT) of the PSI/SI, and delivering the INT to the terminal.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for enabling a terminal to continuously receive an on-going service even when the terminal moves out of a serving cell or a home network in a DVB-H CBMS system are provided, in which a network controls a handover, designates a target cell for the terminal if the terminal is to perform the handover on an interactive channel, and when needed, processes the handover over an interactive network.

Disclosed is a method for transmitting an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) in a Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) system, the method includes collecting ESG data to be transmitted; when a multi-stream mode is used in order to transmit the ESG data, setting parameters to be transmitted, and setting the number of IP streams to be used in the multi-stream mode; setting a signaling field indicating use or non-use of at least one partitioning rule in each IP stream; setting at least one of a start field value and an end field value for all fields of said each IP stream used according to a corresponding partitioning rule; if setup of the start field value and the end field value is completed, encoding a partition declaration field of an ESG init container including the set values; and transmitting the encoded ESG data to a terminal.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for sending a broadcast service in a digital broadcasting system. The method includes assigning a same Internet Protocol (IP) address for a common broadcast service when the common broadcast service is provided in at least two IP platforms, each of the at least two IP platforms providing a broadcast service to a terminal; delivering the common broadcast service using the same IP address; and delivering related information relevant to the common broadcast service.

Disclosed is a method and an apparatus for transmitting/receiving mobility information to support the handover and roaming in a digital broadcasting system. The transmission method includes the steps of setting mobility information including information elements for indicating at least one handover/roaming type according to whether or not support of an interactive network is available for handover/roaming; inserting the mobility information into at least one of an ESG regarding broadcasting services, a notification message, and an independent signaling message so that the mobility information is transmitted to at least one terminal; and conducting handover or roaming of the terminal according to the mobility information.
