Investigations on the integration of the Internet Protocol, IP, over the coming terrestrial digital television standard, DVB-T, are also included. It presents mobility scenarios in a special DVB-T environment, along with a complete broadcasting architecture, in which all leading mobile technologies coexist, and provides solutions and enhancements for a better technology deployment
