D. Dr.-Ing. Ulrich H. R eimers\n\nBroadcast to the SmartPhone\n\nToday´s universal personal media hub is the SmartPhone. Taking advantage of its enormous data processing c apabilities\, the built-in multi-GigaByte memory and its connectivity to t he outside world via WiFi\, 4G or 5G cellular networks\, and Bluetooth\, i t serves nearly all media-consumption scenarios conceivable. Well\, the sc reen sizes are limited and high-quality listening requires headphones. In view of the role of SmartPhones and its features\, industry forecasts indi cate that the large majority of data consumed via the device will be video (and audio mostly to go with it). In view of these predictions: Is there a good reason to enhance the traditional multi-cell cellular networks by a n overarching broadcast layer addressing SmartPhones in order to relieve t hose networks from the video avalanche? The presentation will give an over view of R&D activities in this field\, present the state of the art typica lly called “5G Broadcast” and its possible future enhancements.\n\nPro f. a. D. Dr.-Ing. Ulrich H. Reimers studied communication engineering at T echnische Universitaet Braunschweig\, Germany. Following research at the u niversity’s Institut fuer Nachrichtentechnik (IfN - Institute for Commun ications Technology) he joined BTS Broadcast Television Systems in Darmsta dt. Between 1989 and 1993 he was Technical Director of Norddeutscher Rundf unk (NDR) in Hamburg - one of the major public broadcasters in Germany. Fr om 1993 until 2020 he has been a Professor at Technische Universitaet Brau nschweig and Managing Director of the Institut fuer Nachrichtentechnik (In stitute for Communications Technology). Prof. Reimers was chairman of the Technical Module within the DVB Project from 1993 to 2012. From 2012 to 20 20 he was Vice President Strategic Development and Technology Transfer of Technische Universitaet Braunschweig. He is the author of more than 120 pu blications\, among others of various text books on DVB. Prof. Reimers rece ived a significant number of international and national awards. He is an I EEE Life Fellow and the recipient of the IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electr onics Award. Since 2023\, Prof. Reimers is the chairman of the IEEE Life M embers Affinity Group (LMAG) Germany.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Poland Section L ife Members Affinity Group\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/43 4724 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434724 ORGANIZER:adam.dabrowski@put.poznan.pl SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:Broadcast to the SmartPhone URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434724 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Remote Meeting of the Poland Section Life Members Affinity Group</p>\n<p>September 25\, 2024\, 12:30-13:00</p>\n<p c lass="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm\; text-align: justify\;"><span lan g="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt\; font-family: 'Arial'\,sans-serif\;">& nbsp\;<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14.0pt\; font-family: 'Arial'\, sans-serif\;">Prof. a.
