An analysis by researchers at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology suggests that it is not generally spectrum efficient to substitute use of mobile networks for delivery of linear video entertainment, assuming the goal is to replicate the same coverage and types of content now delivered by the local TV broadcasting network.That will not come as a surprise to anybody who ever has pondered the network bandwidth implications of unicast and multicast video programming.
On the other hand, the efficiencies could tip to mobile networks when the programming mix skews to specialized programming, localized content and on-demand viewing.
By definition, unicast delivery is better suited to communications rather than traditional content delivery networks.
