Article on DVB-H standard

[Arachnotron]

DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting – Handheld) is the new digital broadcast standard for the transmission of broadcast content to handheld terminal devices, developed by the international DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) Project and recently published by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute).

DVB-H is based on the DVB-T standard for digital terrestrial television but tailored to the special requirements of the pocket-size class of receivers. This article presents an overview of the emerging DVB-H technology and an analysis of the performance characteristics of the DVB-H transmission system.

what are the usual mpeg2 bitrates/resolutions used in DVB-H?

I don't know the first thing about DVB-H :), but if I interpret the figure on page 4 correctly, they take one quarter of a 13.2 Mbit/s DVB-T channel and split that up in eight time slices, so you end up with about 400 kbit/s.

Mind, I could be completely wrong, so do try digging some more on the EBU website, there is lot's of other stuff there.
