eMBMS for group communications e.g. in Public Safety networksLTE is the technology of choice for broadband PPDR networks

Global trend to use LTE performance and economies of scale instead of current proprietary systems

eMBMS provides for one to many communication channels

Nokia considerations


Spectrum use in Europe ~2015 – UHF remains attractive for multiple services

▪ Licence exempt: DECT, Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz,…)

▪ Possible future mobile use:LTE (700 MHz, L- and S-Band, 2.3 GHz, ...)

▪ Mobile use:GSM (900, 1800 MHz), UMTS (2.1 GHz)LTE (800, 1800, 2600 MHz)

▪ Broadcast use: FM, DAB, DVB-T

▪ Other services

Most valuable spectrum e.g. for mobile between ~450 MHz and 1 GHz large area coverage; DVB-T as of today occupies 320 MHz, after 700 MHz repurposing 224 MHz

Higher bands around 2 GHz and above deliver capacity in densely populated area

MHz

Below ~450 MHz, antennas are too large for handheld use


LTE in broadcast band 470-694 MHz: Supplemental Downlink (SDL)

Supplemental Downlink = additional capacity to exclusive (FDD) band in downlink direction

▪ Complements LTE capacity for video streaming and intense audio visual use

▪ Easier to coordinate with DTT use than conventional uplink and downlink operation within the band

▪ eMBMS as LTE broadcast technology can complement or in the more distant future even replace DVB-T for terrestrial TV distribution in supplemental downlink capacity

Integrated UHF Multimedia Network(long term Nokia vision)

Digital Dividend 2(from 2015)

LTE broadcast for e.g. 24 HD TV channels covering the most popular programs including public service broadcast

Dynamic spectrum allocation between broadcast and unicast = full flexibility

Massive capacity for non-linear content (Video on-demand, niche channels and a multitude of MBB services)


LTE broadcast builds on existing infrastructure and ecosystem

Digital terrestrial television

> DVB-T(2), ATSC, ISDB-T & DTMB

> Typically not available in smart phones and tablet PCs

> High towers require coordination (e.g. Geneva 06) and can use only fractions of the UHF band in any given location

> Multiple Frequency Network (MFN) or multiple Single Frequency Networks (SFN) required to cover large areas

LTE broadcast

> Single global standard

> Widest range of devices, latest CODECs,huge number of established BTS sites

> Improved UHF spectrumutilization due to small coordination distances

> Single Frequency Network (SFN) for national, regional and local service areas

> Cost comparable to DTT, but higher flexibility (adaptive broadcast/unicast split, interactivity)


Possible range of cost

Estimate on annual cost of DVB-T vs. LTE Broadcast distribution€160M annual spend for public broadcast vs. incremental cost of eMBMS capacity for MNO

Sensitivity analysis w.r.t.

• # base stations (eNB)

• RF bandwidth for 25 HD channels

e.g. 25 HD channels HEVC

25x 3.6 Mb/s / 1.5 b/Hz/s = 60 MHz

eMBMS field trial in Munich


:Integration of Broadcast and Mobile Broadband in LTE/5G

Objectives of IMB5

• Create technological models for the convergence of broadcast and mobile broadband by:

• Testing the capabilities and limitations of current LTE eMBMS for nationwide broadcast infrastructure

• Creating an optimized system architecture for eMBMS based networks

• Defining input for modifications of the 3GPP standardization of eMBMS

• What the project is not about:

• Replacement of DVB-T/T2 by LTE eMBMS

• Discussing business models

• Tapping into the spectrum discussion

The Munich trial is part of a research project called IMB5

DVB-T transmit power: 100 kW ERP per carrier

DVB-T carriers within the trial LTE uplink spectrum produce in-band interference to the LTE receiver in the base station. Therefore notch filters were deployed. In the trial scenario this is relevant only for combined broadcast/unicast use cases.

Cooperation between broadcast and mobile broadbandIntegrated UHF Multimedia Network

• Distribution of linear audio-visual content to

mobile devices

• Mobile device may become the TV receiver for

the large screen

• Flexible allocation of bandwidth to linear and

non-linear content as needed

• Required capacity can be found in

470-694 MHz

• Broadcast - Mobile Broadband cooperation can

open win-win via more efficient spectrum use
