The Impact Of FEC On Mobile Multicast Power Control

Abstract
3GPP has standardized the use of forward error
correction for the provision of reliable data transmission in the
mobile multicast framework. In this paper we present a study
of the impact of application layer forward error correction on
power control during mobile multicast transmission. The
evaluation is performed with the aid of a novel scheme that
allows the simulation of FEC impact on both streaming
delivery and download delivery over a multicast session. It is
important that the proposed scheme incorporates the
properties of an evolved mobile network, as they are
determined by the 3GPP specifications.
