Experimental video broadcasting in DVB-RCS/S2 with land mobile satellite channel: a reliability issue

This paper aims at studying the behaviour of Satellite DVB systems in a vehicular mobile environment by deriving a channel model at packet level that accounts for the mobile characteristic of the channel and the performance of the DVB architecture at physical layer. Moreover the paper provides some solutions based on error recovery techniques, i.e. packet level FEC and interleaving, in order to boost the Quality of Service of streaming applications by providing quantitative and qualitative metrics of the reliability of such transmissions over a land mobile satellite channel.
