Abstract
This paper presents the evaluation of an IP-multicast push download service for personal multimedia devices. The service uses residual bandwidth in communication networks (in this case, terrestrial broadcast) to push content to the storage capacity of personal multimedia devices. The service has been evaluated through an application prototype for mobile TV systems. Results show that the addition of AL-FEC mechanisms achieves constant effective transmission rates, independently of the size of the content sent.
