چکیده

Contemporary DTV technologies introduce the concept of interactivity to traditional TV broadcast services, provided that a data return channel exists. This paper proposes a wireless access network which is a result of the convergence of wireless data network technologies and digital broadcasting. The proposed network, which is being implemented in the frame of the EU-funded MAMBO IST project, can offer digital television and fast Internet access to stationary users, utilizing DVB-T technology for broadband downlink, while the uplink is based on an LMDS network.
