Four Steps DVB for High-speed Internet Access 1. A handheld device transmits the device request through uplink channel to MSPADS 2. MSPADS passes the request to Internet through cable and to video channel through Internet Oxford University Press 2007. All rights reserved. 26

Four Steps DVB for High-speed Internet Access 3. Video channel sends the response using DVB-IPI to high speed Internet. 4. The Internet service datacasts the data to MSPADS using DVB-C through a cable connection Oxford University Press 2007. All rights reserved. 27

DVB for High-speed Internet Access IP datacasting enables high speed Internet access through Internet service provider (ISP) IP datacast then employed by DVB-H for connecting handheld devices Device accesses to high speed Internet and to a remote-networked video channel linked to Internet Oxford University Press 2007.

Convergence of Broadcasting and Mobile Communication A device accesses Internet IPv4, high speed Internet IPv6, and a remote networked data service, TV broadcast service, or video channel linked to Internet Oxford University Press 2007. All rights reserved. 30

Convergence of Broadcasting and Mobile Communication DVB-H+ and convergence of mobile, Internet, and broadcasting network architecture DVB-H+ provides hybrid network Oxford University Press 2007. All rights reserved. 31

Use of IP datacast Due to, it has become feasible to use DVB-H+ for accessing Internet, mobile telephone, and TV, audio, and satellite broadcast services Oxford University Press 2007. All rights reserved. 32

Steps for convergence of mobile and Internet broadcasting and network 1. A handheld device transmits the device request through uplink channel to mobile base station 2. The base station functions as a MSPADS and connects to IPv4 Internet through GPRS gateway which networks the device to the IPv4 service provider The device is thus able to get Internet IPv4 service Oxford University Press 2007. All rights reserved. 33

Steps 3. Base station passes the request for high speed Internet IPv6 access through cable using DVB-C 4. IPv6 Internet connects to a multiplexer using DVB-IPI Oxford University Press 2007. All rights reserved. 34

Steps 5. The multiplexer connects to video channel or TV service through DVB-T and to data service using DVB-data 6. Data service, video channel, or TV station transmits the response to the multiplexer and multiplexer uses DVB-IPI protocol to communicate to high speed Internet using the IPv6 protocol Oxford University Press 2007. All rights reserved. 35

Steps 7. The Internet IPv6 service datacasts the data to MSPADS using DVB-C through a cable connection 8. MSPADS transmits the response to the device request through a downlink using DVB-H+ to the handheld device Oxford University Press 2007. All rights reserved. 36
