The mobile telecommunications standard of tomorrow -- Long Term Evolution, or LTE for short -- will change everything. It has a higher performance capacity than UMTS, and reaches download speeds being comparable to landline-based DSL broadband network. Not only e-mails and Internet traffic, particularly videos and mobile television benefit from LTE as the breakthrough for mobile Internet technology.
The "Multicore SVC Real-time Encoder" encodes a basic version of the video, the base layer, and places several enhancement layers in the SVC bit stream next to the base layer in one single processing step. Partial decoding of the scalable bit stream allows graceful degradation and bit rate, format and power adaptation. LTE can now use a higher error protection to transmit the base layer. Thus, each mobile terminal can always decode the basic version of the video stream and guarantees the transmission of video services everywhere and for every given point of time. Under good network conditions, the mobile user can benefit from premium video quality by decoding additional enhancement layers.
The cross-layer design SVC over LTE, an invention by the scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI in Berlin, are making high-resolution video encoding over LTE a reality. "SVC over LTE" responds to variable user demands with great flexibility, and enables for the first time seamless adaptive communication without annoying disruptions. Current postage stamp-sized, hiccupping video streams will be a thing of the past.

TV on your phone, anywhere you want! As long as you've got an iPhone with your wi-fi fired up you can now access the BBC's iPlayer service, streaming all the latest shows direct to your fingertips.
Speaking on their internet blog, the BBC explained their choice of the iPhone saying that they
"...started with iPhone because it is the device most optimised for high quality video currently available." and that "it displays the BBCiPlayer site and BBC programmes nicely."
It's available on the iPod touch as well, but the BBC are said to be working on more platforms and providers for the service, with UK wi-fi company 'The Cloud' agreeing a deal that will see all BBC online services been available free at all of their 7,500 hotspots.
