Comparing static and statistical multiplexing in DVB-H

DVB-H, the standard for mobile TV from the DVB standards family has been validated during the last years by several international projects that have proved the possibilities, maturity and also limits of this technology. One of the most important features to choose when setting up a DVB-H network is whether to use static or statistical multiplexing. This work compares both strategies showing advantages and disadvantages in each scenario. Finally, this work concludes with a numerical comparison in terms of capacity when using static or statistical multiplexing.
