This paper introduces an interactive contents authoring system which can easily and conveniently produce interactive contents for the Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB). For interactive broadcasting service, T-DMB adopted MPEG-4 BIFS technology. In order to the interactive service becomes flourishing on the market, various types of interactive contents should be well provided prior to the service. In MPEG-4 BIFS, broadcasting contents are described by the combination of a large number of nodes, routes and descriptors. In order to provide interactive data services through the T-DMB network, it is essential to have an interactive contents authoring system which allows contents authors to compose interactive contents easily and conveniently even if they lack any background on MPEG-4 BIFS technology. The introduced authoring system provides powerful graphical user Interface and produces interactive broadcasting contents in the forms of binary and textual format. Therefore, the BIFS contents authoring system presented in this paper would vastly contribute to the flourishing interactive service.

The 21st century has been changed into a knowledge-oriented society, which means our society is more dependent on information and moves toward information. The mixing of broadcasting and co mmunication prevails and it makes possible a new type of broadcasting service. Depending on that, a broadcasting is being changed into a consumer-oriented service to satisfy the demands of consum ers in a new media age. It makes us attain to the personal media age to be possible interactive com munication unlike existing one-way transmission. As a result, new complex media are commercialize d and the instance is DMB. DMB is said 'my own TV' or 'TV in my own hands'. But it has limit t o retransmit existing broadcast programs. So hereafter, DMB broadcasting must be produced with co ntents suited its properties out of retransmitting existing contents. It is necessary to analyze exactly properties and service fields of DMB media to make an establish production direction of contents for DMB. This paper intends to suggest overall optimized image-contents production direction including appropriate program developments, a proper running time, visual expressions such as a camera angle and walking etc... DMB contents suited with its properties will give more familiarities to DMB users. Besides, DMB is expected to be a new culture watching broadcasting.

국내의 지상파/위성 DMB는 개인 휴대용 수신기나 차량용 수신기를 통하여 언제 어디서나 다채널 멀티미디어 방송을 시청할 수 있는 이동형 방송서비스이다. 이러한 이동형 방송서비스에 스테레오스코픽 영상을 이용한 입체방송 서비스의 접목 시도가 활발히 진행 중이다. 스테레오스코픽 기술을 이용한 입체방송 서비스는 기존 2D영상 대비 실재감, 자연감, 선명성 등의 장점을 제공하며 3차원의 입체 형상을 구현할수있는신개념 서비스로서, 빠른 시장 정착과 대중화를 위해서는 플랫폼 구축과 관련 기기의 확산이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 저사양/저대역의 이동방송 수신환경에서 스테레오스코픽 영상의 서비스를 위한 필요 요소기술을 도출하고 송수신 시스템을 제안한다.

The terrestrial-digital multimedia broadcasting(T-DMB) is now provided for the public service and the number of receivers reaches 15 million at the present of August 2008. The service of T-DMB itself has been succeeded in the presence. It is however remained as a supplementary role of stationed TV. It is necessary to find an additional business model as a new media to acquire surplus escaping from the deficit of the present T-DMB service. In the present paper, data service of T-DMB is proposed as candidate of such solution. Especially, TTI(Traffic and Travel Information) service is proposed as a killer application using TPEG(Transport Protocol Experts Group). At present, TPEG has not been so popular in the sense of various user satisfaction. Thus the variety of service including bi-directional service using DMB2.0 as in the sphere of Web2.0 is necessary for the service providers. In the paper, the restriction of TPEG-POI(Point of Interest) application service using the conventional mobile communication infrastructure is indicated. To overcome such restriction, TPEG-UCM(User Created Message) application service model using individual bi-directional media which is initiated and interacting by the users is proposed. In the experiment, the application program shows the usability of the proposed method so that the implementation results show its operability.

MPEG 표준화 그룹에서는 응용 서비스 중심의 목적 지향형 표준 규격 제정을 목표로 멀티미디어 응용 표준화 (MPEG-Applications: ISO/IEC 23000, MPEG-A) 활동을 활발하게 진행하고 있다. 멀티미디어 응용 표준화는 기존의 규격들 중 특정 서비스를 위해 이미 존재하는 필요한 표준 규격만을 조합하여 하나의 표준으로 규격화하므로 산업계의 요구에 유연하게 대처하고 다양한 응용 서비스를 제공하는데 효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 2006년 10월 중국 항주에서 개최된 제 78차 MPEG 회의에서 제안된 디지털 멀티미디어 방송 (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 멀티미디어 응용 포맷 (Multimedia Application Format, MAF) 기술을 소개한다. 디지털 멀티미디어 방송 마프 기술은 기존의 DMB AV 콘텐츠 및 그것의 부가 데이터 그리고 소비자가 원하는 형태의 소비를 돕도록 하는 방송 콘텐츠 정보 메타데이터 및 콘텐츠 보호 메타데이터를 하나의 파일 형태로 구성 하는 파일 포맷 구조를 제공한다. 이러한 기술을 이용하여 일방적인 DMB 방송 서비스 형태에서 벗어나 사용자가 원하는 다양한 소비 형태를 지원할 수 있도록 하는 맞춤형 DMB 방송 서비스 등 일회성 사용에서 벗어나 콘텐츠의 활용도를 높일 수 있다.

This study was started to not only resolve structural problems such as lack of contents, an unstable structure of earnings, and reduction of an additional market in Korean film industry through revitalizing digital cinema, but also make digital cinema become a power for growing Korean film industry furthermore. In the section of revitalizing digital cinema production, I suggest that expanding an audience base of low budget art cinema using digital technology will contribute to diversity film contents, and joint production with broadcasters by digital technology will expedite growing film industry as well as revitalizing digital cinema production. In the section of revitalizing digital cinema distribution, I insist, we should make effort positively to build reasonable hold-back and so on in order that film industry's positive participation in the market of digital film distribution and new media such as DMB or IP-TV may become an additional market to film industry. In conclusion, we can gain a foothold to leap toward a Position of cultural technology Power through efforts to resolve problems inherent in digital cinema.

In Digital On-Channel Repeaters (DOCR) of Terrestrial-DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting), there exist feedback signals generated from transmit antenna and re-entering at receive antenna. Therefore DOCR becomes unstable unless the feedback signal is properly eliminated. Previous research proposed a feedback canceller to estimate the feedback channel to deal with this problem. However formerly used estimation algorithms show unsatisfied performance in terms of convergence rate and quality although their implementations are simple. This paper applies PNLMS (Proportionate Normalized Least Mean Squares) adaptive algorithm to feedback channel estimation and evaluates the performances which solve the problem of feedback signal effectively.

This paper proposes noise reduction methods to improve the channel estimation performance in Equalization On-Channel Repeater (E-OCR) for Terrestrial-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) system. In the E-OCR for T-DMB system, the channel estimation is performed by the pilot signal extraction and the channel coefficient estimation. Since the performance of the channel estimation highly depends on the estimated channel coefficients whose accuracy is associated with the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), it is important to reduce noise existing at the estimated channel coefficients. To reduce such noise components, various noise reduction methods of the estimated channel coefficients based on the M -point weighted moving average are proposed. Computer simulations show that the proposed methods improve the estimation performance by more than 2 to 3 dB in terms of the symbol error rate after equalization.

In this paper we consider technological requirements of the on-channel repeater to broadcast the terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) signals using single frequency networks (SFN) and propose the configuration and implementation method of the equalization on-channel repeater (OCR) that meet such requirements. The proposed equalization OCR not only has short time delay, but shows high output power and good quality of output signal by removing a feedback signal due to incomplete antenna isolation and multipath signal existing between the main transmitter and the OCR. In addition, computer simulations and laboratory tests results are provided to figure out performance of the proposed equalization OCR.
