ABSTRACT
In the future Mobile TV will play a major role amongst traditional TV services. However, since Mobile TV brings new aspects into television, like small screens, consumption in noisy surroundings, etc., it also represents a new challenge on how to create, transfer and present content that maximizes the consumer experience. In the past, research has been often focusing on one particular aspect of this new TV scheme, as well as surveys on this research often neglected aspects that still might be of interest when trying to understand the dependencies of Mobile TV content and presentation to perceived quality.
In this survey paper we want to discuss challenges and requirements in a comprehensive way, trying to shed light on all relevant aspects of Mobile TV. The aim of this paper is to give a good overview about the state of the art with the focus of users' need and experiences. Furthermore, we want to point out interesting and open issues which are relevant for further research work.
