Abstract:

The robustness of the transmission of application data in DVB-H systems has
been investigated in several papers. However, the transmission of Program
Specific Information/Service Information (PSI/SI) necessary for the service
discovery within DVB-H is not that well examined. While the data carried
inside MPE and MPE-FEC sections is protected at the link layer by MPE-FEC,
the PSI/SI is not and its transmission relies solely on periodic
retransmission. There is a question whether the transmission of the PSI/SI
is practical in mobile environment as it is done presently. In this paper
results of computer simulations on PSI/SI transmission in a mobile
multipath channel are illustrated together with analysis of the results.
