Integration of broadcast technologies with heterogeneous networks - An IEEE 802.21 centric approach

In order to integrate broadcast communication technologies like DVB-H and MBMS in a heterogeneous system, different mechanisms have to be developed, both on the mobile user terminal and on the network infrastructure. This paper presents the framework developed in the Daidalos-II (FP6) project for supporting broadcast integration with heterogeneous wireless networks with a focus on the development of a hybrid terminal.
