Future of IPTV
IPTV is defined as multimedia services
such as television/video/audio/text/
graphics/data delivered over IP based
networks managed to provide the required
level of quality of service and experience,
security, interactivity and reliability.

QoE
Low downtime,
QoS maintenance intervals
Low delay, jitter and channel change
and packet loss time
Bandwidth requirements for streaming
High bandwidth continuously
Last mile is the problem
DSL originally employed for burst (web) traffic, Not
support MPEG-2
Need to compress the video streams
Reducing channel change time
Due to multicasting it takes time
Providing VoD
Need to unicast messages

1) Up to 50% in bit rate savings: Compared to
H.263v2 (H.263+) or MPEG-4 Simple Profile,
H.264 permits a reduction in bit rate by up to
50% for a similar degree of encoder
optimization at most bit rates.
2) High quality video: H.264 offers consistently
good video quality at high and low bit rates.
3) Error resilience: H.264 provides the tools
necessary to deal with packet loss in packet
networks and bit errors in error-prone
wireless networks.
4) Network friendliness: Through the Network
Adaptation Layer, H.264 bit streams can be
easily transported over different networks.
