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.

In this paper, we describes about implementations of Advanced Terrestrial DMB prototype system which can provide high higher efficiency of transmission and better quality of service than Terrestrial DMB(T-DMB) system for performance improvement of conventional mobile multimedia broadcasting system. And also we analyze field test results of the system. Advanced T-DMB system has been developed to increase data rate up to double of conventional T-DMB in same bandwidth while maintaining backward compatibility, using hierarchical modulation and turbo code. We conducted field tests to verify the performance of the proposed system through implementing of test system. As a result, we confirmed 0.576Mbps and 1.152Mbps were added to mode B and mode Q of Advanced T-DMB respectively than T-DMB system.

The capacity of Satellite DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) system is limited mainly by the interference. So, to achieve the expected performance of Satellite DMB system and to minimize the interference from other Satellite DMB system, ACI(Adjacent Channel Interference) should be considered carefully. Satellite DMB system uses the Gap-filler for effective transmission in terrestrial environment, and the Gap-filler can use direct amplification or frequency conversion to satisfy the specific requirements. Therefore, amplified signal causes several effects on interference between System A(Eureka 147 DAB) and System E(ISDB : Integrated services Digital Broadcasting). In this paper, by using the outcome of system-level simulation considering the results of link-level simulation, we analyze the interferences between System A and System E under practical situation based on the exact parameters of ITU-R BO. 1130-4. We also propose the appropriate level of guard band and Cell Radius to optimize system capacity by adapting the spectrum mask given in the spec. and utilizing the interference analysis between System A and System E.

As more and more people are interest in mobile broadcasting, they want to use many kinds of mobile contents. On that account, DMB standard has been developed in Korea. Users can use various contents, because DMB System based on DAB System can provide not only audio service but also media service. However, as more contents increase, users will have to wait more to select Program List, which is why DMB System transports MPEG-2 TS contents by MSC. To solve this problem we propose that first we find major fields needed for generating program list, and then these fiends insert to FIC by extending UAI. We conduct some experiments to verify our proposed method is efficient. The results implies that our proposed method generate program list faster than that of previous method by 36.78%.

Recently an extension to DMB AF (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting Application Format) standard has been proposed in such a way that the extended DMB AF can include stereoscopic video and stereoscopic images for interactive service data, i.e., MPEG-4 BIFS (Binary Format for Scene) data, in addition to the existing 2D video and 2D images for BIFS services. In this paper we developed a service that provides the streaming of 3D contents in DMB AF by using MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) standard and validated it by implementing the client software.

최근 한국정보통신기술협회(TTA)에서는 지상파 DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) ECG(Electronic Content Guide) XML(eXtensible Markup Language) 표준의 제정 및 개정 작업을 완료하였다. 지상파 DMB ECG XML 표준은 종래의 DMB EPG(Electronic Program Guide) 표준에서 제공되었던 서비스를 기능적으로 수용하면서 프로그램내의 특정 세그먼트 단위까지 검색 및 브라우징을 통하여 원하는 콘텐트를 보다 효율적으로 접근, 소비 및 저장이 가능하도록 하는 향상된 서비스를 제공하도록 정의하였다. 또한, 단일 포맷에서 모든 DMB 콘텐트 내용들을 결합하는 DMB AF(ISO/IEC 23000-9:2008; DMB Application Format) 파일 포맷을 포함하고 있다. 한국전자통신연구원에서는 이러한 지상파 DMB ECG XML 표준 및 서비스의 유효성 검증을 위해 메타데이터의 저작 단계에서 전송 및 단말에 이르는 맞춤시청형 방송 시스템을 개발하였다. 이러한 일련의 과정에서 DMB ECG 메타데이터는 맞춤시청형 서비스 제공을 위해 전달되는 핵심 요소로써, 디지털방송 콘텐트에 대한 상세 정보의 기술을 위해 새로운 메타데이터를 생성하거나 기존에 생성된 메타데이터를 재편집하는 과정을 효과적으로 수행하기 위한 메타데이터 저작도구가 필수적으로 필요하다. 본 논문은 사용자 친화적인 DMB ECG 메타데이터 및 DMB AF 저작도구의 개발에 대해 기술한다.

DMB-AF(DMB Application Format) 표준[1]은 MPEG-A라 불리는 MPEG 응용 포맷 표준 중 하나로서 2008년 8월 15일 발간된 ISO/IEC 23000-9 국제표준이다. DMB-AF는 지상파 DMB와 위성 DMB의 모든 콘텐트를 저장할 수 있는 파일 포맷으로서, 콘텐트 메타데이터를 포함할 뿐만 아니라 콘텐트 보호 및 관리 기능도 포함하고 있어 DMB 콘텐트 파일을 보호된 형태로 전자적 유통이 가능하며 DRM(Digital Rights Management) 기능을 통해 그 사용을 관리할 수 있다. 다른 MPEG 표준들과 마찬가지로 DMB-AF 표준에 대한 적합성 시험 규정(Conformance)과 참조 소프트웨어(Reference SW)는 표준 본문 제정 이후 진행되어 왔으며, 다른 MPEG 표준과 달리 MPEG-A에 속하는 표준들의 경우, 별도의 표준 문서로 발간되지 않고 해당 표준의 개정판에 추가되도록 되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 2010년 1월 91차 MPEG 회의에서 최종 승인된 DMB-AF 표준개정안에 포함된 적합성 시험 파일과 참조 SW 개발에 대해 설명한다.

현재는 국토해양부의 "도로터널 방재시설 설치 지침"에 따라 1종 도로 터널 내 아날로그 AM/FM 라디오 재난방송시스템이 설치되어 운영 중이나 T-DMB의 경우 관련 시스템이 개발이 되어 있지 않았다. T-DMB는 개인용, 휴대용, 이동형의 디지털방송매체로서의 특징을 가지고 있으며 최근들어 수신기 보급 증가로 새로운 재난방송 매체로 부상하고 있는 현실을 감안하면 터널 및 지하공간에서 T-DMB 방송망과 수신기를 활용한 국지적 재난방송 기술 개발은 매우 필요하다. 이에 본 논문은 기존 T-DMB 방송서비스 권역 내에서 터널 및 지하공간 등 T-DMB 수신환경이 열악한 지역에서 평상시에는 T-DMB 방송을 중계하여 수신환경을 개선하고 재난발생 시에는 기존 T-DMB 단말기로 수신 가능하며 각 재난상황에 맞는 맞춤형 재난경보방송을 송신하는 T-DMB 재난방송시스템 및 관련기술을 소개한다.

In this paper, implementation of an ensemble transport interface (ETI) adapter for multimedia services based on terrestrial-digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) is introduced. In general, ETI adapter should manipulate three functions: receiving packets packing multimedia data from service providers, configuring an ETI frame (G.703) from these data, and transmitting these frames to T-DMB multiplexer. To achieve these roles, the proposed ETI adapter consists of the network management module for data transmission and flow control between service providers and this adapter, the ETI configuration module for gathering data and then making ETI frames, and the hardware board for pushing ETI frames in real-time. The proposed adapter yielded faithful results without data lose on transmitting ETI frames to T-DMB multiplexer in the range of $64{\sim}1,153kbps$ specified in ETSI EN 300 401 after packing multimedia data received via Internet.

This paper presents an analytical analysis about neighboring UWB interferences in a S-DMB receiver. We first derive the C/N$_{o}$ of a S-DMB receiver, based on its specifications and present the theoretical description of its effect to UWB interferences in terms of C/(N$_{o}$+ I) and I/N$_{o}$. Using the calculated C/(N$_{o}$+ I) and I/N$_{o}$, we derive the separation distance for a S-DMB receiver not to be interfered by UWB interferences. Finally, we propose an UWB emission limit at minimum separation distance under which a S-DMB is free of UWB interferences and compare it with the value appeared in FCC proposal.
