One to many distribution an efficient way to
serve Mobile multimedia content to mass market

• Pull services on unicast mode in cellular network
• Limited capacity for mobile video on wide scale
• Traffic fee too high for consumer acceptance
  (0,5 /Mbytes in 2010, BearStearns 2003
• Perceived value per bit for broadband
  application is decreasing
• Push services using broadcast mode
• on dedicated radio resources combined with local
  storage
• Subscription with unlimited usage
• Unlimited audience, low traffic fee
• Quasi on demand content usage
• Enabling Internet snow ball effect
• point to multipoint for initial content
  distribution then point to point for content
  circulation

S-DMB key design principles

• Hybrid satellite/terrestrial architecture Global
  coverage for Outdoor Indoor usage
• Low cost impact on 3G handheld terminal
• Satellite frequencies are adjacent to IMT2000
  terrestrial ones
• Satellite waveform compliant to 3GPP UTRA FDD
  WCDMA standard
• High reception margin, hence no form factor
  impact
• Concurrent evolution with 3GPP architecture

Terrestrial repeaters integrated in 3G base
stations for dense urban area coverage
Return link PPDR, safety

S-DMB Open Technology that can address an
increasing range of market opportunities
10
High power GEO satellite to accommodate 3G
handheld terminal RF characteristics
Example of 1.2 Beams

• Satellite Payload characteristics
• 15 years Lifetime
• Launch mass up to 5900 Kg
• P/L DC power consumption 12 kW
• Up to 6 beams per satellite
• EIRP (EOC) up to 76 dBW/beam over 1.2

• Satellite flexibility
• Coverage (beam selection and beam size)
• Power sharing among active beams
• Transparent architecture towards 3GPP air
  interface (e.g. W-CDMA Beyond 3G waveform)

S-DMB enabling features in 3G user equipment

• 3GPP OMA features
• HW Local memory storage
• SW
• MBMS (including Power saving management)
• Streaming service and related codecs
• Digital Right Management
• Mobile broadcast services (service discovery,
  service protection, electronic service guide,
  etc...)
• SDMB specific
• HW Radio frequency agility extension to IMT2000
  satellite band

WRC-07 preparatory activities

• S-DMB is a typical satellite component of
  IMT-2000
• WRC-07 Agenda Item 1.4 Requirements for
  evolutions of IMT-2000, and systems beyond
  IMT-2000.
• Emerging concepts (S-DMB, others) Satellite has
  an important role to play in the future of
  IMT-2000
• Satellite may not be suited for all mobile
  applications, but it is excellent for some
  (multicast, coverage complement, reliable
  communications)
• Technological evolutions
• Trend towards integration between
  terrestrial/satellite mobile systems system,
  waveforms
• Higher satellite power, bigger antenna technology
  enables seemless terrestrial/satellite access on
  the same terminal !
• The role of satellite should be fully recognised
  in WRC-07 A.I 1.4 preparation
• WP8F and WP8D cooperation should continue to
  enable satellite to fully play its role in future
  mobile systems
