Abstract
The handover for the dedicated DVB-H network in this book is defined as the handover which is considered in the DVB-H network only. For the converged DVB-H and telecommunications networks, the handover inside the DVB-H network part can also be considered the handover of the dedicated DVBH network. Handover in unidirectional broadcasting networks like DVB-H is a novel issue. The main difference between handover in DVB-H and that of 3G telecommunications networks is that passive handover in DVB-H is performed and can be performed by the terminals only while the handover in 3G telecommunications networks will require the operation by both the network and the terminals. Since making accurate handover decisions can reduce the battery power consumed, this chapter describes and investigates different strategies that can assist the handover decision-making process in DVB-H networks. The benefits and drawbacks of the different algorithms are presented. A hybrid handover decision-making algorithm is also described.
