Abstract

In this paper we discuss the need for dynamic system-level simulations for DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast - Handheld), specifically to evaluate the overall system performance perceived by mobile users dynamically over time. Such simulations can be used as a complement of traditional radio coverage planning tools for analyzing quality of service and radio resource management aspects of the DVB-H network. We describe a general simulation structure and the main models required, and validate, using vehicular urban field measurements, a DVB-H physical layer performance model that enables these analyses.
