Abstract
Geostationary satellites are an efficient way to provide a large scale multipoint communication service. In the context of reliable multicast communications, a new hybrid satellite/terrestrial approach is proposed. It aims at reducing the overall communication cost using satellite broadcasting only when enough receivers are present, and terrestrial transmissions otherwise. This approach has been statistically evaluated for a particular cost function and appears to be advantageous. Then since the hybrid approach relies on Forward Error Correction, several practical aspects of MDS and LDPC codes are investigated in order to determine impact of code selection.
