On the other hand, the use of Forward Error Correction (FEC) in mobile multicast transmission has significant advantages and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has adopted the application layer FEC in the MBMS standard. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the application layer FEC over the MBSFN delivery method. %B 13th ACM International Conference on Modeling Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems, Bodrum, Turkey %P 307 - 310 %8 October 17 - 21 %G eng
