Abstract

In this paper, we propose modulation and coding scheme level drop scheme for LTE evolved multimedia broadcast/multicast service (eMBMS) by transmitting additional parity information opportunistically with limited feedback overhead to improve the performance of the eMBMS. Our proposed scheme overcomes the limited performance of the conventional eMBMS due to the lack of dynamic link adaptation capability. We prove that the transmission performance of eMBMS can be improved significantly with the proposed scheme, which is verified with intensive system-level simulations.

Footnotes
1
Single broadcasting session can last from a few milliseconds to a several tens of seconds.
 
2
Because of this, the eMBMS is different from other broadcasting services such as television broadcasting.
 
3
This is why the term ‘MCS drop’ is used in our scheme.
