VI Open-Loop MIMO for Broadcast Multicast Services] Many broadcast/multicast infrastructures are engineered for delivering a wide range of contents, such as streaming media, multicast media and even IP datacast. Though all of them have the similar capabilities of delivering a pretty-much same set of services, their bear technologies and network layer or stream layer designs are varied. In terms of physical layer, ATSC uses 8 VSB while DVB, FLO and ISDB use OFDM in their air interface designs. In terms of stream layer design, DVB-H uses IP, ISDB uses MPEG TS, T-DMB and FLO use their own mapping between application layer and MAC layer logic channels.
