Is Statistical Multiplexing possible with DVB-H?
[up] Yes, there are several ways this can be achieved. Most hinge on the implementation of the IP encapsulator, which takes the encoded video and audio and drops this into time slices. The enabling factor here is that the time slices can be of variable length, so as the data in them is adapted by a statistical multiplexer, then so is their size. Another means of implementing statistical multiplexing is where there may be more than one service contained in each time-slice. Whilst this will have a negative impact on battery consumption, stastical multieplxing is possible within the time slice itself and between the services contained in it.
