Recently, the fifth-generation (5G) of wireless networks mainly focuses on the terrestrial
applications. However, the well-developed emerging technologies in 5G are hardly applied …

The integration of a broadcast oriented RAN architecture into a convergent framework for
heterogeneous networks offers two major contributions. On the one hand, it presents an …

The convergence between broadcast and broadband networks has drawn significant
attention since the very beginning of their coexistence. Nonetheless, a real cooperation …

This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the performance of an hybrid network
composed of a broadband system and a broadcast system which cooperate to deliver linear …

In this article, we focus on the hybrid of orthogonal and non-orthogonal broadcasting. The
hybrid configuration is raised and proposed for improving cellular digital television …

An exponential growth of the mobile data traffic is expected in future networks. The reason of
this growth is related to the increasing popularity of linear services such as mobile TV, live …

This paper studies the optimal broadcast coverage radius in a hybrid network from the
perspective of network planning. The hybrid network is composed of a unicast and …

The power demand of future wireless networks is predicted to dramatically increase. This
energy consumption issue, if unaddressed, will restrict the roll-out of many new services …

Linear services such as mobile TV are witnessing an increasing demand, creating
challenges for conventional delivery methods in both broadcast and broadband networks …

Hybrid broadcast/broadband network (HBBN) presents a potential solution to mitigate the
increasing demand for mobile TV. A proper HBBN deployment alleviates the limitations that …
