MOBILE MULTIMEDIA TERMINAL FOR DVB-T AND LARGE AND SMALL CELL COMMUNICATION

摘要

A method and apparatus for providing an interactive mobile multimedia terminal (100). The mobile multimedia terminal (or MMT) (100) allows for wideband data stream reception using a digital data broadcast receiver (102) such as DVB-T. Interactivity is realized with built-in local or large cell size communications link (116 and 112). The local link (112) could be WLAN or Bluetooth (a low-power RF transceiver). The large cell size communications link (116) could be a mobile station link e.g., GSM, CDMA, TDMA, etc. A mobile station with a Bluetooth link can be used as an IP router or a portable base station for large cell size communication if no local connection point is found. The MMT (100) integrates DVB-T reception, digital display, and communications links together to provide interactivity in a mobile environment. The MMT communications link with a mobile station enables it to act as an extended display for the mobile station.
