Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) using the same terrestrial infrastructure (DVB-T) as traditional analogue television has become a mature technology with a growing number of users. Different activities have been started (e.g. DVB-H) in order to apply that infrastructure for distributing multimedia content and interactive services to mobile devices. DVB (i.e. the television industry) and 3G mobi...

In this paper we present an original approach to speed up the auto-configuration of mobile nodes in Mobile IPv6. The handoff process associated with movement of mobile nodes in IP networks has to face the delays arising to guarantee the reachability of the node, while preserving packets to be lost because of the movement. Here we deal with the reduction of address auto-configuration delay. This...

The TCP/IP protocol allows the different nodes in a network to communicate by associating a different IP address to each node. In wired or wireless networks with infrastructure, we have a server or node acting as such which correctly assigns IP addresses, but in mobile ad hoc networks there is no such centralized entity capable of carrying out this function. Therefore, a protocol is needed to p...
