Abstract :
A new method for fast channel switching in a hybrid unicast/broadcast Mobile TV system is introduced. In case of a channel switch between broadcast channels, a channel switch frame is requested and delivered via a unicast connection. Using this technique, the waiting time for the next I-frame of the new channel is eliminated fastening the channel switching process.
