► Consumer behavior changes

Streaming services are competing with linear TV

Smartphones/Tablets more and more important

► No access to smartphones

No support of Broadcast standards by most UEs

CURRENT SITUATION OF BROADCASTING INDUSTRY

How to get access to

Smartphones?

► Exponential increase of Mobile Video

► Smartphone users desire to consume

HD videos anytime – anywhere

► 4K smartphones now available

rising demand for 4K video quality

MNO CHALLENGES

Heavy investments …

But hardly additional revenues

► R&S Solution:

Utilization of Broadcast/Multicast

concepts

Broadcast/Multicast together with

unicast

Large-scale cells

High Power High Tower (HPHT)

Frequencies < 1 GHz

► It‘s all about efficiency

Efficient spectrum use by Multicast data

distribution just once

R&S VISION: EFFICIENTDISTRIBUTION OF MOBILE TV

Increase of profitability

► Large-scale HPHT network

► Nation wide coverage

► New Business models

► Very low latency

► Cost & Spectrum Efficiency

► Higher QoS, Better QoE

POTENTIAL OF 5G BROADCAST

Mobile streaming

• Live TV and

Live streaming

(e.g. sport events)

• Data offloading

Internet of things

• Software & firmware

updates

• Common control

messages to devices

• Autonomous driving

information

• Software & firmware

updates

• Signage information

Automotive

• Disaster alerts (e.g.

tsunami, earthquake)

• Emergency alerts (e.g.

hazard, amber alert)

Public safety

► Enhanced user experience

► New business verticals in media and

entertainment

► Faster 5G technology adoption

► Targeted/Location based Ads

VR/AR BROADCAST SERVICES

► Further Enhanced Multimedia

Broadcast/Multicast Service

► Definition as MBMS in UMTS (Release

5/6) and Re-appearance with LTE

Release 8 as eMBMS

► Known as LTE enTV (enhanced TV) in

3GPP Release 14

► Broadcast/Multicast Premium content

anywhere/anytime

FEMBMS

► Only 60% of subframes can be allocated to eMBMS

► Complex admission control and user subscription

► Limited Customer QoE

► No support of Higher Quality of Media

► No continuity between Broadcast & Unicast worlds

► Lack of wide deployment

EMBMS: PREVIOUS LIMITATIONS

► Receive-Only Mode (ROM) for devices

► Free-to-air content broadcast

► Simplified Architecture

► UHD, HDR & 4K Full Support

► Transport-only (pass-through)

FeMBMS bearer to use the network as

content delivery platform

ENHANCING SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE & MEDIA FORMATS

► Smartphone users can consume

UHD & 4K videos anytime/anywhere

► Improved coverage and bandwidth efficiency

► Lower Latency & Higher Flexibility

► More Real-Time focused Apps

ENHANCING USER EXPERIENCE
