Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a multi-mode mobile broadcasting Emergency Warning System (EWS) transmission and reception system which enables the propagation of disaster information using the encoding and transmission, reception and decoding methods specified in diverse mobile broadcasting standards. The implemented system supports global mobile broadcasting standards such as Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB), Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H), Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T), and the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) digital radio standard. The system consists of two key part: an encoding/transmission part and a reception/decoding part. The multi-mode mobile broadcasting EWS encoding and transmission system generates EWS data according to each broadcasting specification. The generated EWS data is then transmitted through a channel interface which meets the commercial broadcasting equipment specification. The receiver system receives and decodes the EWS data on a single hardware platform and can display the results on screen. Verification and conformity testing has been carried out on the implemented system by transmitting emergency data for each mode in real-time and displaying the received information in text on the receiver display.

본 논문은 재난 정보를 다양한 모바일방송 규격에 따라 인코딩 및 송출, 수신 및 디코딩하는 멀티모드 방송용 EWS 송 수신 시스템의 설계 및 구현 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 전 세계 모바일 방송 표준 중 T-DMB, DVB-H, ISDB-T와 디지털 라디오 규격인 DRM을 지원하며, 각각의 방송 규격에 따라 재난 정보를 인코딩하는 송출부와 각 표준에 따른 RF 방송 신호를 수신 및 디코딩하는 수신부 형태로 구성된다. 제안한 멀티모드 방송용 EWS 송신시스템은 단일 시스템상에서 각각의 방송규격으로 EWS 재난 데이터 생성하고 상용 방송 송출 장비규격에 만족하는 채널 인터페이스를 통해 재난정보가 송출 가능하며 수신 시스템에서는 단일 H/W에서 해당 모드의 재난 정보를 수신, 디코딩하여 단말기 화면에 표출한다. 제안된 시스템은 실시간으로 각 모드별 상용 방송장비에서 송출되는 RF 신호를 수신하여 문자기반의 재난 정보를 표출하는 정합 검증 과정을 통해 정상동작 결과를 제시한다.
