IMS-enabled interactive broadcasting network utilizing peer to peer constellations

This paper propose an overlay interoperability technology for introducing the concept of Peer to peer (P2P) communications in the context of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) enabled interactive broadcasting networks (iDVB-T), bearing the following: a) user initiated conception of communication applications paradigms and deployment, b) access of users on P2P applications from any rural-access network, and c) creation of a new ecosystem of users, emerging different behaviour from the traditional consumers, gearing-up new business and revenue prospects. The overall assessment of the proposed P2P-IMS architecture is evaluated by Real transmission reception experiments justifying the interoperability and validity of the iDVB-T environment proposed.
