Abstract

IP over Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) operating system support for the second-generation DVB physical carriers is still limited to the so-called broadcast profile that supports only Constant Coding and Modulation mode and encapsulation of IP packets into MPEG-2 Transport Stream packets. Both multi-protocol encapsulation and unidirectional lightweight encapsulation are currently used encapsulations therefore. The interactive profile, in contrast, provides a generic stream interface that allows for efficient use also in Variable Coding and Modulation and Adaptive Coding and Modulation mode and provides with Generic Stream Encapsulation a new encapsulation. This study presents a novel architecture for Linux kernel-based operating systems to support second-generation DVB carriers. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
