A hybrid broadcast & multicast scheme for the next generation satellite TV systems

Television industry lately started to provide viewers with ultra-HD (UHD) TV programs, which considerably increases the transmission bandwidth requirements, in particular in satellite TV broadcasting systems. This paper proposes a hybrid broadcast & multicast channel transmission scheme for the next generation satellite TV systems, which according to the simulation results can effectively decrease frequency bandwidth consumption while still providing users affordable QoE.
