IP Multicasting Over DVB-T/H and Embms‛ Retrieved 2013-02-14; Master’s thesis Two years The Department of Information Technology and Media (ITM) Computer Engineering MA, Final project, 30 credit points IP Multicasting over DVB-T/T2/H and eMBMS using PARPS Effect of the number of transmitters Author: Ranjith Reddy Voladri Email: [email protected] Examiner: Professor Tingting Zhang, [email protected] Supervisor: Magnus Eriksson, [email protected] Scope: 15910 words inclusive of appendices Date: 2013-10-11 Abstract With the advancement in the current wireless technology standards such as terrestrial digital video broadcasting systems (DVB-T, DVB-T2, and DVB-H) and the massive usage of the Internet over mobile devices, streaming of television channels in smart phones has become a neces- sary advancement for mobile users. As, UMTS dominating the entire mobile market globally and with the evolution of LTE, several mobile operators are working on an MBMS framework which will help to launch mobile TV services on respective operators. This paper deals with terrestrial and mobile TV with IP multicasting and broadcasting and is aimed to improve system spectral efficiency. With the help of IP multicasting, the base station can be able to provide with significantly less spectrum by saving it from the channels which the user is not view- ing currently. This case is analysed from several sets, called schemes of resource plan sets. The transmitter scheduling is dealt with by means of a Packet and Resource Plan Scheduling (PARPS) algorithm, and the simulated results are plotted in Matlab which assists in analysing the efficiency in the spectrum management and the coverage probability for the number of transmitters used for each scheme. The schemes are simulated in Matlab for different number of transmitters (2-7) in both the static and random model. The SFN schemes are offering greater coverage probability than MFN schemes, in all cases. Multicasting over Continuous Transmission Dynamic Single Frequency Network (CT- DSFN) offers a 1342% and 582% gain in Multi-user System Spectral Efficiency (MSSE) for 7 transmitters, from Broadcasting over MFN and Broadcasting over SFN respectively. For 7 transmitters, Multicasting over CT-DSFN offers a 1213% and 428% gain in System Spectral Effi- ciency (SSE) from Broadcasting over MFN and Broadcasting over SFN respectively.

  • IP Multicast Routing Technology Overview
    IP Multicast Routing Technology Overview • Information About IP Multicast Technology, on page 1 • Additional References for IP Multicast, on page 15 Information About IP Multicast Technology This section provides information about IP multicast technology. About IP Multicast Controlling the transmission rate to a multicast group is not supported. At one end of the IP communication spectrum is IP unicast, where a source IP host sends packets to a specific destination IP host. In IP unicast, the destination address in the IP packet is the address of a single, unique host in the IP network. These IP packets are forwarded across the network from the source to the destination host by devices. At each point on the path between source and destination, a device uses a unicast routing table to make unicast forwarding decisions, based on the IP destination address in the packet. At the other end of the IP communication spectrum is an IP broadcast, where a source host sends packets to all hosts on a network segment. The destination address of an IP broadcast packet has the host portion of the destination IP address set to all ones and the network portion set to the address of the subnet. IP hosts, including devices, understand that packets, which contain an IP broadcast address as the destination address, are addressed to all IP hosts on the subnet. Unless specifically configured otherwise, devices do not forward IP broadcast packets, so IP broadcast communication is normally limited to a local subnet. IP multicasting falls between IP unicast and IP broadcast communication. IP multicast communication enables a host to send IP packets to a group of hosts anywhere within the IP network.

  • WAN-LAN PIM Multicast Routing and LAN IGMP FEATURE OVERVIEW and CONFIGURATION GUIDE
    Technical Guide WAN-LAN PIM Multicast Routing and LAN IGMP FEATURE OVERVIEW AND CONFIGURATION GUIDE Introduction This guide describes WAN-LAN PIM Multicast Routing and IGMP on the LAN and how to configure WAN-LAN PIM multicast routing and LAN IGMP snooping. The AlliedTelesis Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) can perform routing of IPv4 and IPv6 multicast, using PIM-SM and PIM-DM. Also, switching interfaces of the NGFWs are IGMP aware, and will only forward multicast steams to these switch ports that have received reports. IGMP snooping allows a device to only forward multicast streams to the links on which they have been requested. PIM Sparse mode requires specific designated routers to receive notification of all streams destined to specific ranges of multicast addresses. When a router needs to get hold of a given group, it sends a request to the designated Rendezvous Point for that group. If there is a source in the network that is transmitting a stream to this group, then the Rendezvous Point will be receiving it, and will forward it to the requesting router.

Bostian, Chair Ira Jacobs Dennis G. Sweeney April 15, 2002 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: CDMA, OFDM, synchronous, broadband, wireless, 3G, Non-Line-of- Sight (NLOS), orthogonal, VOFDM, SCDMA Copyright 2002, Shital Ratilal Chheda A Comparison Between Synchronous CDMA and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Shital Ratilal Chheda (ABSTRACT) The growth of broadband Internet access has paved the way for the development of many new technologies. As the cost of implementing broadband access soars, the best alternative will be to use fixed wireless for these services. This thesis addresses the possibility of 3rd Generation (3G) mobile cellular wireless systems as the basis for fixed broadband wireless service. Two of the 3G technologies aimed at providing fixed broadband wireless access are Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This thesis aims to provide a preliminary study on using TD-SCDMA and OFDM for broadband wireless systems. Currently, there is not enough theory and information to establish the feasibility of using either of these technologies for broadband wireless access. First, the basic features and background on synchronous CDMA and OFDM are presented for the reader to better understand these technologies. Then, an example TD-SCDMA system is described, and some analytical and experimental results are presented.

  • Introduction to IP Multicast Routing
    Introduction to IP Multicast Routing by Chuck Semeria and Tom Maufer Abstract The first part of this paper describes the benefits of multicasting, the Multicast Backbone (MBONE), Class D addressing, and the operation of the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). The second section explores a number of different algorithms that may potentially be employed by multicast routing protocols: - Flooding - Spanning Trees - Reverse Path Broadcasting (RPB) - Truncated Reverse Path Broadcasting (TRPB) - Reverse Path Multicasting (RPM) - Core-Based Trees The third part contains the main body of the paper. It describes how the previous algorithms are implemented in multicast routing protocols available today. - Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) - Multicast OSPF (MOSPF) - Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) Introduction There are three fundamental types of IPv4 addresses: unicast, broadcast, and multicast. A unicast address is designed to transmit a packet to a single destination. A broadcast address is used to send a datagram to an entire subnetwork. A multicast address is designed to enable the delivery of datagrams to a set of hosts that have been configured as members of a multicast group in various scattered subnetworks. Multicasting is not connection oriented. A multicast datagram is delivered to destination group members with the same “best-effort” reliability as a standard unicast IP datagram. This means that a multicast datagram is not guaranteed to reach all members of the group, or arrive in the same order relative to the transmission of other packets. The only difference between a multicast IP packet and a unicast IP packet is the presence of a “group address” in the Destination Address field of the IP header.

Mobile cellular environments are expected to evolve with the technological approaches necessary to facilitate the deployment of multimedia services, such as streaming, file download, and carousel services. The perspective that video streaming in wireless networks services is an attractive service to end-users has spurred the research in this area. To provide for a video delivery platform in UMTS, the third generation partnership project (3GPP) addressed this problem with the introduction of the multimedia broadcast and multicast services (MBMS) in 3GPP Release 6. In this document we analyse several effective radio resource management techniques to provide MBMS, namely, use of nonuniform QAM constel- lations, multicode, and macrodiversity to guarantee the optimal distribution of QoS depending on the location of mobiles.

  • IP Multicast
    Data Communication & Networks G22.2262-001 Session 10 - Main Theme IP Multicast Dr. Jean-Claude Franchitti New York University Computer Science Department Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences 1 Agenda Introduction to Multicast Multicast Addresses IP Multicast Reliable Multicast Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) Reliable Multicast Protocol (RMP) Conclusion 2 Part I Introduction to Multicast 3 Cast Definitions Unicast - send to one destination (198.122.15.20) General Broadcast - send to EVERY local node (255.255.255.255) Directed Broadcast - send to subset of nodes on LAN (198.122.15.255) Multicast - send to every member of a Group of “interested” nodes (Class D address). RFC 1112 (an easy read!) 4 Why Multicast, Why Not Unicast? Unicast: Many applications require same message sent to many nodes (10, 100, 1000, n) Same message transits network n times. n messages requires n*(CPU time) as 1 message Need to deliver “timely” information. Message arrives at node n >> node 1 5 Why Multicast, Why Not Broadcast? Broadcast: Send a copy to every machine on the net Simple, but inefficient All nodes “must” process the packet even if they don’t care Wastes more CPU cycles of slower machines (“broadcast radiation”) General broadcast cannot be routed Directed broadcast is limited in scope (to machines on same sub-net or same domain) 6 Multicast Applications News/sports/stock/weather updates Software distribution Video-conferencing, shared whiteboards Distributed interactive gaming or simulations Email distribution lists Database replication 7 IP Multicast - Concepts Message sent to multicast “group” of receivers Senders need not be group members Each group has a “group address” Groups can have any size End-stations (receivers) can join/leave at will Data Packets are UDP (uh oh!) 8 IP Multicast Benefits Distribution tree for delivery/distribution of packets (i.e., scope extends beyond LAN) Tree is built by multicast routing protocols.

  • Diversity Diversity Macrodiversity Microdiversity
    Ch13. Diversity Instructor: • Mohammed Taha O. El Astal LOGO 13.1 Introduction AWGN channels Rayleigh Fading In AWGN, it may that a 10-dB SNR leads to BERs on the order of 10−4. but in fading channels, we need an SNR on the order of 40 dB in order to achieve a 10−4 BER, which is clearly unpractical. CONT. deep fading (very low SNR) The reason ??? is the fading of the channel; since the fading cause to have an attenuation being large, and thus of the instantaneous SNR being low, so the BER be high. CONT. The Solution!!!! Make sure that the SNR at Rx. has a smaller probability of being low. =make sure that the signal has a smaller probability to have a large attenuation 13.1.1 Principle of Diversity The principle of diversity is to ensure that the same information reaches the receiver (RX) on statistically independent channels. Example: SNR BER-DFSK If Pnoise is 50 pW. Consider the following two cases : 0dB 0.5 An AWGN channel with Psig,avg is 1 nW. A fading channel where during 90% of the time the ....... …... received power is 1.11 nW, while for the remainder, it is …… …… zero. 13dB 10−9 1. Compute BER for the case of AWGN channel. 13.5dB 10−10 2. Compute avg. BER with assuming it is selection diversity in the following cases: a. one received antenna. b. two received antenna. c. three received antenna 13.1.2 Definition of the Correlation Coefficient Any correlation between the fading of the channels decreases the effectiveness of diversity, why?? The most important one is the correlation coefficient of signal envelopes x and y: For two statistically independent signals E{xy} = E{x}E{y} ρxy=0 Signals are often said to be “effectively” decorrelated if ρ is below a certain threshold (typically 0.5 or 0.7).
