An Investigation of LTE Broadcast

Broadcast and broadband communications have undoubt- edly become a part of today’s social life. Accessibility of content of interest to the audience at any place and at any time regardless of the type of content consumer device can have an effective contribution to the desire of the audience to use of the broadcast content. The HD and Ultra HD qualities, the desire for demand-driven applications, the interactive content usage and the diversity of broadcast content-usage devices have raised the challenge of both broadcast communications and broadband communica- tions to meet the audience’s future needs. This paper tries to explain approaches to overcome these challenges using the inherent capabilities of broadcast and broadband. Of course, the exact prediction of when this technology will come to full maturity is almost impossible.
