Wireless IPTV Over WiMAX: Challenges and Applications

Overview Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is gaining recognition as a viable alternative for the delivery of video by telecommunications and cable companies. It features bandwidth efficiencies, and management; therefore, it is ideally suited for broadcast, multicast, unicast interactive and multimedia services (IMS - IP multimedia). Core networks are packet-based; however, access networks are not always packet-based. Furthermore, they are wired as either fiber-coax or fiber-twisted pair topologies. Design, construction, and maintenance costs of such topologies are exorbitant, making the IPTV deployment economically unviable, especially in underdeveloped countries and rural areas. Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) offers a wireless solution in the access networks that can support IPTV services.
