Abstract

Mobile digital television over IP networks (Mobile IPTV) requires that mobile networks provide the resources and mechanism necessary to guarantee the quality of content delivered to users. The technical characteristics of mobile broadband technologies LTE and LTE-Advanced will permit to be the networks able to support the deployment of Mobile IPTV. Therefore, in this study we have done an analysis of the LTE and LTE-Advanced networks in order to propose functional architecture to guide the implementation of the Mobile IPTV service.
