Outline � MoDiS project overview � S-DMB concept � MoDiS experimental platform � Validation approach � Trials and Results � Conclusions

The MoDiS project � MoDiS (Mobile Digital Broadcast Satellite) is an IST project partially funded by the European Commission under the FP5 framework � Started April 2002, duration 30 months � Co-ordinated by Alcatel Space [F]; Project Manager: Michel Mazzella � Daimler Chrysler [D], University of Surrey [UK], Agilent Technologies [B], Elitel [I], UDCast [F], Space Hellas [EL], Ercom [F], Alcatel Bell Space [B] and Monaco Telecom [MC] � Expected results � Proof of S-DMB concept through experimentation of critical issues � W-CDMA efficiency in broadcast mode with hybrid satellite/terrestrial transmission � Harmonisation with 3GPP MBMS standards � Service demonstration � Streaming � Push & store with adaptive caching in terminals of video / audio / web-based contents � Groupcast (P2P)

Validation approach � To accelerate the Transmission testbed : Macro-diversity, Synchronisation, Power saving adaptation/development of various MoDiS terminal Satellite/Hub Hub network components and the validation (transmission simulator + function part) Terrestrial repeater emulator procedures, the MoDiS testbed was split into two distinct sub-testbeds: the application testbed � Application testbed : Content delivery, Reliable transport, Cache the transmission testbed � management, CDD usage, Conditional content use � This approach allows for: MoDiS terminal MoDiS Data Server (application part) Simultaneous implementation of the � features to be validated and facilitated the assembly of the corresponding subsystems into a single testbed that Complementary Mobile Network for the complete MoDiS testbed exhibits the full MoDiS functionality in an integrated manner.

The trials � Signal quality � Macro diversity � Power consumption � Reliable transport � Content delivery � Conditional access � Applications

Parameters for trials � Number of sources � due to the choice of the test road � Power level of the sat emulator � Power level of IMR � same level for both IMRs � Modes (data rate) and Type of services � with simultaneous emergency services � Terminals � trolley alone (with potentially car alongside) and car alone
