Project roadmap, source repositories and latest releases for the 5G Broadcast: Hybrid TV/Radio Reference Tools. Please refer to the Scope page for context on how these components fit together.

Roadmap​

This page tracks the planned and in-progress work for the 5G Broadcast Reference Tools. The general roadmap gives the overall direction; the developer boards below break the work down by component. Each links to a GitHub Kanban board, where the current status is authoritative.

General Project Roadmap​

The Kanban board below tracks the planned and in-progress work for the 5G Broadcast Reference Tools (hybrid TV/Radio delivery, transmitter and receiver components). It is maintained live on GitHub.

Repositories​

The following repositories make up the 5G Broadcast Reference Tools. Please refer to the Scope section of the different projects for more context on how they fit together.

The table below is generated automatically. Repositories are grouped into functional blocks (labelled B1 to B7, for example transmitter, modem, middleware and supporting tools). Auxiliary repositories (marked with an Auxiliary badge) are supporting libraries or helper tools rather than primary deliverables.

  • MBMS Android Middlewarert-mbms-mw-android

    This repository holds an implementation of the MBMS Middleware for Android.

  • MBMS Middlewarert-mbms-mw

    This repository holds an MBMS Middleware to provide the best available content to the application. If available, it combines content from (mobile) broadband, WiFi with the 5G broadcast content from the MBMS Modem using an advanced decision logic. The content is presented to apps via HTTP. It also implements a ROUTE client.

  • MBMS Modemrt-mbms-modem

    This repository holds an MBMS Modem, which main task is to convert a 5G BC input signal (received either as live I/Q raw data from the SDR or as prerecorded SDR sample file) to multicast IP packets on the output.
