Service delivery framework for DVB-H and EPS

Seamless service handover is an important factor for the success of new services in the integrated network environment. Most of the current solutions for the interworking of networks, which generally rely on the physical layer handover between different networks such as mobile cellular or broadcast networks, does not necessarily considers the application level issues such as service continuation or associated services. Handover association table based approach can easily be used for solving service continuation problems. In this paper we look at the framework which not only allows for seamless service continuation between heterogeneous networks but can also be extended to accumulate further service provisioning. This framework can enrich the user experience and provide base for dynamic service delivery based on the user profiles by associating related services. Current article gives details of framework design, its implementation and evolution. Additionally, we also show how this framework can be used for the E-MBMS service provisioning in the interworking of EPS and DVB-H networks.
