This study attempted to analyze factors influencing S-DMB adoption. The theoretical background of this study is 'Technology acceptance model.' Based on this theory and literature review this study set 5 hypotheses. For this research, a survey was conducted by online research lab. from October 25 to 31. Data were collected from 350 subjects. Complete and useable questionnaires were received from 303 respondents. The result and conclusion are as follow: 'Instant accessibility,' 'service quality,' 'Cost,' 'advertising,' 'perceived easy of use' are significant factors influencing 'perceived usefulness'. 'Compatibility,' is a significant variable influencing 'perceived easy of use'. However, 'self efficacy' and 'innovativeness' are not significant factors influencing 'perceived easy of use.' The result of the analysis showed that most of the hypotheses were verified the same as preceding studies, but some results were different with the result of preceding studies. Therefore, it implies the characteristics of S-DMB different with other IT systems and mass media that were research subject mostly before, and it influences the result of this study as well.

Terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (TDMB) is a method of bringing multimedia images, radio, internet, and television to portable devices through terrestrial digital radio transmissions. TDMB related educations being carried out in colleges are focusing on developing firmware which enables users to choose a wanted service. TDMB transmission frame is made up of synchronization channel (SC), fast information channel (FIC), and main service channel (MSC). Services such as video, audio and date are transmitted in the form of subchannel in the MSC. FIC carries information related to each services and subchannels. This paper presents a TDMB frame analysis simulator for analyzing and displaying FIC data on PC. TDMB frame analysis simulator contains functions such as controlling TDMB receiver through USB, establishing the frequency, bringing FIC to PC, displaying ensemble ID and levels, and displaying informations related to services and subchannels. In addition to that, this simulator has a function of being able to store FIC date and subchannel data. This simulator being developed with C++ is expected to be used to view those data visually so that it helps students to understand the TDMB system better and bring about the educational motivation.

Analog medias are converting to digital with the development of the digital communications. The Korean radio broadcasting services yet on analog and the research for the digital radio is progressing. The digital conversion of radio broadcasting has already progressed in foreign countries because of the technical limitation of analog broadcasting(The radio-frequency efficiency is poor). DAB is one of the digital radio mode, it doesn't use on AM/FM band and uses on T-DMB frequency band. So, it has an advantage of being able to broadcast with the existing radio without interference at once. On the other hand, it has the potential to cause interference to existing T-DMB broadcasting. In this paper, we propose an efficient DAB channel allocation method for digital radio on T-DMB frequency band. This paper allocates the DAB channel without interference to existing T-DMB broadcasting and proves the proposed method through simulations for the interference analysis.

This study analyzed the properties of VHF band and suggested an efficient VHF band application plan for digital radio and UHDTV broadcasting through the experiment by the house T-DMB device in practical user environment. In order to find an efficient frequency band for digital radio broadcasting, this study examined first, to check the times of drop-out receive occurring in the audible area using a DMB/FM CAR Radio for T-DMB that has the characteristics of DAB. Second, this article explored the phenomenon of feedback loops in the same channel using a T-DMB house gap filler transmitting the signal by the same OFDM modulation scheme with UHDTV for configuring suitable SFN transmission network of the UHDTV broadcasting. Based on these experiments, this study suggested a suitable VHF band for digital radio and an efficient utilization of the VHF frequency band for the SFN network configuration of UHDTV.

Digital Multimedia Broadcasting is the next generation broadcasting service which enables various digital multimedia contents, i.e., audio and video, and data access for mobile users. However, due to the bandwidth limitation, the spatial resolution is limited to CIF(Common Interleaved Frame). The Advanced Terrestrial DMB (AT-DMB) secures additional bandwidth by adopting hierarchical modulation transmission technology and provides high data rate and quality for mobile multimedia broadcasting services with scalable video coding(SVC). This paper proposes scalable video coding technology for AT-DMB which enables high quality mobile multimedia broadcasting services that exceeds current DMB service's quality and contents capability.

In this paper, we proposed advanced T-DMB system which is based on Eureka-147 using UEP coding methods and hiererchical modulation for providing additional services while maintaining BER performance. We simulated the proposed advanced T-DMB system using unequal l6QAM modulation scheme combined with various bit split methods and coding methods such as double binary turbo code of DVB-RCS standard and LDPC code of DVB-S2 standard. In the simulation results, double binary turbo code and LDPC code of proposed advanced T-DMB system have coding gain of 2dB and 3.5dB compared to conventional T-DMB system respectively.

최근 지상파 DMB 방송이 실시됨에 따라 이를 이용한 교통여행정보(Traffic and Travel Information, TTI)제공에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있고, 현재 DMB 방송을 통한 TPEG(Transport Protocol Experts Group) TTI 데이터 시범 서비스 실시 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 DMB 방송의 수신 뿐만 아니라 TPEG TTI 데이터를 수신하고 이를 기존의 네비게이션 서비스와 연동하여 처리할 수 있는 DMB 방송 및 TPEG 수신 소프트웨어 디코더를 개발한다. 개발되는 디코더는 DMB가 제공하는 오디오 및 비디오 방송을 수신하면서 TPEG TTI 데이터를 GPS/GIS 모듈과 연동 처리하여 사용자에게 동적인 위치기반 네비게이션 서비스를 제공한다.

DMB data broadcasting has recently come into the spotlight as a platform for a new business opportunity and an application of various contents. This paper estimates the willingness to pay for the DMB data broadcasting services and explains the demand characteristics for TPEG, BIFS and BWS services, using the Double-bounded dichotomous choice Contingent Valuation Method. Consumers are willing to pay 2,039 Korean won for TPEG service and 1,612 Korean won for BIFS and BWS services per month, which corresponds to the market size 87.6 billion Korean won for TPEG and 195.2 billion Korean won for BWS and BIFS a year respectively. It is also found that the more consumers show usage intentions, have experiences in the similar services, and know of the DMB data broadcasting services, the more they are likely to pay for the DMB data broadcasting services.

지상파 DMB는 이동 수신이 가능한 방송 서비스로 개인용, 휴대용, 이동형, 디지털 멀티미디어, 방송매체라는 특징을 가진다. 이와 같은 특징은 차량용 내비게이션과 일치하는 부분이 많아 내비게이션 결합형 지상파 DMB 수신기가 널리 보급되었다. 현재 차량 운전자들을 주 대상으로 하는 재난경보전달 시스템이 존재하지 않으므로, DMB 기능을 내장한 차량용 내비게이션은 재난경보 전달 체계를 서둘러 도입해야 하는 분야 중 하나다. 이 논문의 목적은 내비게이터형 DMB 수신기에 필요한 기능적 요구사항을 도출하는 것이다. 이를 위해 내비게이터형 DMB 수신기로 활용 가능한 시나리오를 연구하고, 이를 바탕으로 기본 수신기와는 별도로 추가되어야 할 내비게이터형 수신기를 위한 고유의 기능을 도출하고, 기본 수신기에서 도출한 기능 중 필요 없는 기능을 분석하였다. 이 논문의 내용은 내비게이터형 DMB 수신기를 개발하는 데 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
