Performance Evaluation of the Emerging Media-Transport Technologies for the Next-Generation Digital Broadcasting Systems

Moving pictures experts group (MPEG) media transport (MMT) and MPEG-dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (MPEG-DASH) are emerging as the content-delivery technologies for the next-generation broadcasting systems, as they seamlessly utilize various underlying delivery networks to provide hybrid multimedia services in any location. In this paper, we present an empirical analysis of the channel-zapping time, which is an important metric in the measurement of the quality of experience (QoE) of broadcast services, regarding the MMT and MPEG-DASH technologies. During this process, we also clarify the important factors that determine the channel-zapping time of the individual technologies. In addition, we propose a simple yet effective method that enables fast channel zapping for the MMT technology.
