Radio network planning of DVB-H/UMTS hybrid mobile communication networks

Abstract-- The benefit of hybrid mobile communication networks combining point-to-point and point-to-multipoint systems should be an optimized transfer of data for both providers and customers. Optimized network planning is a non-trivial task even for a single network. Hence, planning and optimization of hybrid networks implicate great challenges. For these issues realistic traffic estimations are required. Therefore, a scenario has been developed based on the public reference scenario of Berlin from the IST-MOMENTUM project. A method for designing a DVB-H network architecture including transmitter position and cell size is introduced. Furthermore, the necessary transmitting power is estimated. The benefit of a hybrid network is introduced and shown in an example.
