Introducing mobile multimedia - the technologies, digitalrights management and everything else you need to know fordelivering cost efficient multimedia to mobile terminals
Efficiency and cost effectiveness within multimedia delivery isfast becoming a hot topic in wireless communications, with mobileoperators competing to offer inexpensive, reliable services. Theselection of an appropriate technology and matching it with theoffered mix of services will be essential to achieve the marketsuccess.
Multimedia Broadcasting and Multicasting in MobileNetworks discusses multimedia services, introducing thepotentials and limitations of the multicasting and broadcastingtechnologies. The authors address the key points related to thedeployment of the technology including digital rights managementissues, particularly important in terms of the large, businessscale deployment of multimedia services and business models. Thebook discusses the early trials and deployment of Internet ProtocolDatacasting (IPDC) and Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service(MBMS) and offers an introduction to multicasting in wirelesscellular networks.
Multimedia Broadcasting and Multicasting in MobileNetworks:
* Offers a tutorial introduction to multicasting in wirelesscellular networks
* Provides an overview of the current technologies that delivermobile multimedia, weighing of the potentials and limitations ofvarious solutions
* Includes the early trials and deployment of Internet ProtocolDatacasting (IPDC) and Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service(MBMS)
* Details Digital Rights Management (DRM), MediaFLO, DigitalMultimedia Broadcasting (DMB), Terrestrial Integrated ServicesDigital Broadcasting (ISDB-T) and others
* Contains business models, trials and user feedback
This book provides mobile operators, graduate engineers, networkdesigners and strategists in mobile engineering with a thoroughunderstanding of mobile multimedia and its impact on thetelecommunications industry. Undergraduate and postgraduatestudents studying telecommunications will also find this book ofinterest.

Grzegorz Iwacz works in the Internet industry. His majorinterest is the development of web applications. He received his MSdegree 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 wasa student at Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo, Finland in2005 and was in touch with practical aspects of multicast,especially IPDC technology implementations, while visiting Finlandin 2005 and 2006. He has a high level of interest in efficientmultimedia delivery in mobile networks and has followed the IPDCtechnology since its early stages.
Andrzej Jajszczyk is a professor at AGH University ofScience 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 universitiesin Australia and Canada. he is the author or co-author of six booksand over 230 papers, as well as 19 patents in the areas oftelecommunications switching, high-speed networking and networkmanagement. He has been a consultant to industry,telecommunications operators and government agencies. He was theEditor-in-chief of IEEE Communications Magazine and also serves onthe editorial boards of various reputed journals, including Annalesdes Telecommunications, china Communications and ComputerCommunications.

Michal Zajaczkowski is an OSS Solution Manager in theTelecommunications Business Unit at Comarch SA. He received his MSdegree from AGH University of Science and technology Krakow, Poland(Major: Telecommunications Networks and Services) in 2006. In2005, while studying at Helsinki University of Technology, he hadhis first contact with the practical aspects of multicast. This wasthen followed by a thorough study on the subject of multicast. Thiswas then followed by a thorough study on the subject ofmulticast-based technologies, such as IPDC and MBMS, from theirvery early standardization stages. The study was accompanied bysubsequent visits to Finland, scheduled to meet with mobileoperators as well as with research and standardization bodies.
