Multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS) have evolved to accommodate broadcasting services in 3GPP standards. One long-standing approach is to comprise the multimedia broadcast multicast service single-frequency network based on the cellular networks of mobile operators, and another approach adds a broadcasting network to 3GPP standards. In this paper, we overview the MBMS architecture and key entities in MBMS services. In addition, the trends of MBMS are discussed in terms of technology and 3GPP standards, where MBMS functionality is described according to 3GPP releases. Finally, we discuss its capability through a comparison with ATSC 3.0, which is the latest terrestrial broadcasting standard, and then we present the current status and future perspectives of MBMS in 3GPP.

IPTV는 IP를 기반으로 한 초고속인터넷을 기반으로 제공되는 미디어 서비스로서, 국내에 널리 확산된 초고속인터넷을 기반하여 급속도로 확산되고 있는 추세에 있다. 특히, 국내에 IPTV서비스가 본격적으로 상용서비스를 제공한지 3년이라는 시간이 경과하면서, 2012년 8월 500만 가입자를 돌파하여 국내의 주요 방송미디어 매체로 등극하였다. 하지만 IPTV는 도입초기부터 많은 법규제 논란이 제기되어 기존의 방송법이 아닌 인터넷멀티미디어방송사업법(이하 IPTV법)을 별도로 제정하여 IPTV를 규제하고 있다. 이는 IPTV가 기존의 방송과는 달리 VOD 및 양방향서비스 등과 같은 비선형 서비스 및 부가서비스 제공이 가능하기 때문에 기존법으로는 규제가 어렵기 때문이다. 해외의 경우에는 IPTV에 대해서 정도의 차이는 있지만 기존 방송의 규제틀안에서 차별화를 하는 방향으로 규제가 이루어지고 있다. 유럽은 EU의 '국경없는 TV지침(TWFD)이 확대 개정된 시청각 미디어지침(AVMSD)을 근간으로 규제를 하고 있는데, 이 지침에 따라 EU 역내국가들은 방송미디어서비스를 선형서비스와 비선형서비스로 구분하고 있다. 기존 방송이 해당되는 선형서비스에 대해서는 강한 규제를, VOD와 같은 비선형 서비스에 대해서는 약한 규제를 적용하고 있다. 미국은 IPTV를 다채널 유료방송시장(MVPD)의 일종으로 구분하고 케이블방송과는 별개의 서비스로 구분하고 있으며, 주 단위의 IPTV 면허를 필요로 한다. 따라서 IPTV는 위성방송이나 케이블방송과 같이 콘텐츠 규제를 받게된다. 캐나다는 규제당국인 CTRC가 공공방송, 사적방송, 공동체 섹터로 구분하여 면호규제를 시행하며, 콘텐츠 규제는 CTRC와 업계의 자율규제를 통해 시행하고 있는데, IPTV와 같은 뉴미디어에 대해서는 규제의 예외를 인정하고 있다.

By recent development of wired and wireless communication technology, any service can be delivered through broadcasting networks or communication networks. So contents consumers want to receive broadcasting program via any accessible network. Network independent broadcasting system can receive optimized multimedia contents by combining the high-quality multimedia contents transmitted through broadcasting network and the additional contents delivered through communication network. Additional contents can be other multimedia contents, URL of contents, some texts for indicating information of received multimedia, etc. Network independent broadcasting system is in early stage of development, and receivers and the monitoring system for hybrid broadcast are under development. Thus the multiplexing method and demultiplexing method to perform hybrid broadcasting is on study. In this paper, we designed the demultiplexing algorithm to perform hybrid broadcasting system and implemented demultiplexer system based on modulator interface system standard T2-MI of DVB-T2.

With the development of ICT technology, the broadcasting and communication networks of Korea have been bigger, faster and more reliable and Korea has become one of the leading countries in the ICT industry. Through the international ICT indices, we can see different economies' ICT industry competitiveness at a glance and high ranking in such indices can make national brand image improve. However almost all the existing international ICT indices mainly focused on the telecommunication industry, not on the broadcasting industry. This study thus aims to develop a new index focusing on broadcasting and communication networks. This new index is composed of 3 sectors such as access, usage and environment with different weight respectively and using objective indicators. This study also aims to contribute to improve Korea's national brand image by developing new systematic and effective broadcasting and communication index.

Nowadays, the rapid progress and worldwide use of smart-media(SNS) has resulted in coming of the smart media convergence age. In practice, however, the effectiveness of smart media convergence society is limited by the difficulties of using it, which include accessibility, waiting for loading, clutter, old information, privacy risks, expensive communication, etc. The conquest of these difficulties must be policy target of broadcasting and telecommunication for high quality of communication life. From this perspective, this paper proposes a new policy of broadcasting and telecommunication based on the dynamic quality of life for the smart media convergence society. This smart convergence policy will not promote only the development and production of smart media contents but also its stable supply and it will secure the accessibility and privacy. In conclusion, this paper reveals that the components of quality of life are important elements of broadcasting and communication policies which will eventually lead to the popular use of smart media and enhance its quality.

UHD broadcasting based on ATSC 3.0 is being implemented in Korea, and discussion on mobile broadcasting based on ATSC 3.0 is underway. The ATSC 3.0 standard introduces internet protocol based standards in order to facilitate the implementation of conventional broadcasting services as well as broadcasting and communication convergence services interlocking with communication services. In this process, various requirements for the receiver have been derived, and factors to consider for developing the receiver product have also increased. ATSC 3.0 broadcasting is currently in the introduction stage of the service, and additional technology development and product implementation related to the receiver should proceed until the full-scale market is formed. In this regard, this paper describes the considerations for developing UHD receiver based on ATSC 3.0 and the test procedure for verifying developed receiver.

Broadcast disks are suited for disseminating information to a large number of clients in mobile computing environments. In broadcast disks, the server continuously and repeatedly broadcasts all data items in the database to clients without specific requests. The clients monitor the broadcast channel and retrieve data items as they arrive on the broadcast channel. The broadcast channel then becomes a disk from which clients can retrieve data items. In this paper, we propose a cache conscious concurrency control ($C^4$) scheme to preserve the consistency of client transactions, when the values of broadcast data items are updated at the server. $C^4$ scheme is novel in the sense that it can reduce the response time of client transactions with minimal control information to be broadcast from the server. This is achieved by the judicious caching strategy of the clients.

On-demand broadcast is an effective data dissemination technique in mobile computing environments. This paper explores the issues for scheduling multi-data queries in on-demand broadcast environments, and proposes a new broadcast scheduling scheme named CASS. The proposed scheme prioritizes queries by reflecting the characteristics of multi-data queries, and selects the data that has not been broadcast in the query for the longest time as the broadcast data according to the query priority. Simulation is performed to evaluate the performance of CASS. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms other schemes in terms of the average response time since it can show highly desirable characteristics in the aspects of query data adjacency and data conflict rate.

본 논문의 목표는 지상파 디지털 방송과 데이터 방송 그리고 아날로그 방송을 수신할 수 있는 DTV Set를 구현하고 일체형 디지털 방송 수신기에서 아날로그 방송과 영상을 입력받았을 때 화질저하의 원인이 되는 De-interlace 알고리즘과 3-D Noise를 적절하게 제거할 수 있는 알고리즘에 관한 연구가 목표이다. 또한, 디지털방송의 수신된 컨텐츠를 다른 저장매체로 불법적으로 복사, 재생을 막기 위한 디지털 컨텐츠복사를 방지할수 있는 알고리즘에 관한 연구이다. 현재, 우리나라에서는 기존의 아날로그 방송과 고품질 디지털 방송 서비스를 위한 디지털 방송이 시험적으로 실시되고 있는 상황이다. 이러한 환경하에서 디지털 방송 수신만을 위한 수신기는 아직 시기상조이며 아날로그 방송과 디지털 방송을 동시에 수신할 수 있는 일체형 수신기가 필요한다. 일체형 수신기에서 가장 문제가 되는 부분이 아날로그 방송을 수신하여 디지털 영상으로 인코딩한 후 화면에 뿌려 줄 때 Even Field와 Odd Field를 분리하여 뿌려주기 때문에 많은 영상의 열화가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 많은 방법들이 연구되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서 사용된 시스템을 간략하게 소개하면 디지털 방송 수신을 위한 SoC 로는 Zoran의 G9 Ellete 채택하였고 아날로그 영상의 Decoder로는 AMI의 ADV7401을 선택하였다. 이에 대한 Operating System는 Real-Time OS인 Thread-X를 선택하였다.
