S-DMB System Architecture and the MoDiS Demo

The Satellite Digital Multimedia System (S-DMB) implements a satellite based broadcast layer in the 3G mobile network to increase its content delivery capacity. It achieves a cost effective nation wide coverage and enable to reduce the cellular traffic fee by about 100 for appealing multimedia content making use of broadcast or multicast mode. The system is designed with the objective to accommodate 3G standardised handsets with negligible cost impact and allow smooth integration in the 3GPP architecture. This paper defines the system architecture and outlines the possible experimental platform for S-DMB system.
