Abstract

The latest generations of telecommunications networks have been designed to deliver high data rates, providing flexible communication capabilities that can enable high-quality video images. However, these new generations of telecommunications networks are interference-limited, impairing their performance in cases of heavy traffic and high usage. One way to lift this constraint would be for the mobile telecommunications network operators to obtain the cooperation of a broadcast network operator so that at times when the service demand is too high, the service can be transferred to the broadcast network. This paper proposes a way for UMTS network operators to forecast the traffic associated with high-demand services intended to be deployed on the UMTS network and when demand requires to transfer it to a cooperating DVB-T network. The paper aims to justify cooperation between UMTS and DVB-T networks clearly showing how using a DVB-T network as a support to UMTS can increase the revenue generated by both networks.
