This paper presents two novel smart cross-layer error-control coding schemes for improving the error protection of service advertisements that are broadcast to mobile terminals on wireless billboard channels (WBCs) established over a digital video
broadcast-handheld (DVB-H) infrastructure. These are the smart section erasure (SSE) and smart transport stream erasure (STSE) schemes, which are jointly executed by the link layer and service layer cross-layer algorithms. The new schemes are analysed and
compared to existing schemes. The solution enables the “WBC over DVB-H” systemto operate with good flexibility, and in amore reliable way and with greater throughput efficiency than the standard IP datacasting supported in DVB-H.
