eMBMS has been available since the 4th mobile communication generation LTE (Long Term Evolution) and is a point-to-multipoint service that allows for the simultaneous transmission of audio-visual data streams (streaming) and files (push) to many users. One important feature of eMBMS is the transmission in a single-frequency network where several base stations are synchronised and bundled into radio cell groups. The identical content can be simultaneously transmitted on one frequency in several radio cells. The principle equates to the single-frequency operation such as DVB-T/T2 and DAB+ known in broadcasting. In the long term, the insights gained from the research projects will enable the combination of the efficiency of established broadcast services with the flexibility and individuality of interactive mobile broadcast services in a way that is attractive for the system. The approaches are currently in the very early stage of research and therefore will have no effect on the introduction of DVB-T2 HD in Germany. Current questions deal with the economic efficiency of mixed transmission scenarios with large and small cellular networks and the acceptance of services within the framework of field tests. Furthermore, other international standardisation work for the full representation of the broadcast requirements such as free-to-air without SIM card, receive-only mode, large-scale supply (high-power-high-tower) and one-off distribution of the TV programs despite several network providers as well as further development work are necessary for achieving market-readiness.
