Introducing mobile multimedia - the technologies, digital
rights management and everything else you need to know for
delivering cost efficient multimedia to mobile terminals

Efficiency and cost effectiveness within multimedia delivery is
fast becoming a hot topic in wireless communications, with mobile
operators competing to offer inexpensive, reliable services. The
selection of an appropriate technology and matching it with the
offered mix of services will be essential to achieve the market
success.

Multimedia Broadcasting and Multicasting in Mobile
Networks discusses multimedia services, introducing the
potentials and limitations of the multicasting and broadcasting
technologies. The authors address the key points related to the
deployment of the technology including digital rights management
issues, particularly important in terms of the large, business
scale deployment of multimedia services and business models. The
book discusses the early trials and deployment of Internet Protocol
Datacasting (IPDC) and Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service
(MBMS) and offers an introduction to multicasting in wireless
cellular networks.

Multimedia Broadcasting and Multicasting in Mobile
Networks:

* Offers a tutorial introduction to multicasting in wireless
cellular networks

* Provides an overview of the current technologies that deliver
mobile multimedia, weighing of the potentials and limitations of
various solutions

* Includes the early trials and deployment of Internet Protocol
Datacasting (IPDC) and Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service
(MBMS)

* Details Digital Rights Management (DRM), MediaFLO, Digital
Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB), Terrestrial Integrated Services
Digital Broadcasting (ISDB-T) and others

* Contains business models, trials and user feedback

This book provides mobile operators, graduate engineers, network
designers and strategists in mobile engineering with a thorough
understanding of mobile multimedia and its impact on the
telecommunications industry. Undergraduate and postgraduate
students studying telecommunications will also find this book of
interest.

Autor

Grzegorz Iwacz works in the Internet industry. His major interest is the development of web applications. He received his MS degree from AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland (Major: Telecommunications Networks and Services) in 2006 . He also received a Bachelor's degree from Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland (major: Human-computer Interaction) in 2008. He was a student at Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo, Finland in 2005 and was in touch with practical aspects of multicast, especially IPDC technology implementations, while visiting Finland in 2005 and 2006. He has a high level of interest in efficient multimedia delivery in mobile networks and has followed the IPDC technology since its early stages. Andrzej Jajszczyk is a professor at AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland.He received his MS, PhD, and Dr Hab. degrees from Poznan University of Technology in 1974, 1979and 1986, respectively. He spent several years at universities in Australia and Canada. he is the author or co-author of six books and over 230 papers, as well as 19 patents in the areas of telecommunications switching, high-speed networking and network management. He has been a consultant to industry, telecommunications operators and government agencies. He was the Editor-in-chief of IEEE Communications Magazine and also serves on the editorial boards of various reputed journals, including Annales des Telecommunications, china Communications and Computer Communications. Over many years he has been active in the IEEE Communications Society, where he is currently its Vice-President. He is a member of the Association of Polish Electrical Engineers and a Fellow of the IEEE. Michal Zajaczkowski is an OSS Solution Manager in the Telecommunications Business Unit at Comarch SA. He received his MS degree from AGH University of Science and technology Krakow, Poland (Major: Telecommunications Networks and Services) in 2006. In 2005, while studying at Helsinki University of Technology, he had his first contact with the practical aspects of multicast. This was then followed by a thorough study on the subject of multicast. This was then followed by a thorough study on the subject of multicast-based technologies, such as IPDC and MBMS, from their very early standardization stages. The study was accompanied by subsequent visits to Finland, scheduled to meet with mobile operators as well as with research and standardization bodies.
