      •   Key highlights: around rich media and convergence
      •   Looking at gaps and overlaps:
           – In the existing standards
           – With a view to providing a simpler and broader set of applications which 
              will cover DAB, DAB+, DMB, DRM and the internet 
           – And allow content providers to deliver content in the most efficient way 
              to their audiences along with enhanced interactivity
      •   The complementary DAB and DRM standards together 
          provide a complete and integrated open digital radio 
          platform with solutions for all available and prospective 
          frequency bands

           – Revision of  DVB-SH standards (EN 302 583) to add new features such 
              as  low latency  
           – Consequently, revision of DVB-SH Implementation Guidelines 
              (TS 102 584)
      •   DVB-T2 mixed mode (EN 302 755 version 1.3.1)
           – EN 302 755 adds a “T2-Lite profile”
           – T2-Lite profile: intended to allow simpler receiver implementations for 
              very low capacity applications such as mobile broadcasting; although it 
              may also be received by conventional stationary receivers. 
           – Version 1.3.1 introduces a name, which is “T2-base profile”, for 
              the previous single profile

              the feasibility of a common broadcast specification 
              which can be used in a 3GPP network and a 
              broadcasting network that is based on DVB or other 
              similar standards.

                                    3GPP IMB 
      • 3GPP IMB (Rel 8):
           – Introduced in Rel-8, “IMB” stands for “Integrated Mobile 
              Broadcast” or, in full, “3.84 Mcps TDD MBMS over a Single 
              Frequency Network (MBSFN) IMB”, formerly known as Downlink 
              Optimized Broadcast (DOB)
           – It allows the use of the TDD spectrum (to date, widely unused by 
              the operators) for deployment of broadcast applications, as to 
              offer capacity relief to the FDD channels
           – Alignment with FDD WCDMA is maximised as to allow for simple 
              multimode terminals and to offer smooth handover between IMB 
              and FDD. 
           – IMB can be used for all “classical” broadcast services, e.g. 
              interactive TV, podcasting, public safety alerts, etc
           – No further standardization since Rel-8
           – Inter-operators trials performed earlier this year in UK  to test 
              services such as mobile TV.
