지상파 DMB 상용 서비스가 시작된 지 1년이 경과함에 따라 DMB 시청자의 수가 급격히 증가하였다. 그러나 DMB와 융합된 새로운 서비스가 활성화가 활발하지 못하고, 따라서 여러 가지 부가 수익서비스가 창출되지 못하고 있다. 그 이유 중의 하나는 기존에 제안된 양방향 데이터 서비스들은 모바일 홈페이지로의 연결하는 방식이라, 시청자가 DMB 단말기의 작은 화면에서 단말기의 버튼이나 터치스크린을 사용하기 불편하고, 방송시청이 불편하다. 또한, 기존의 방송참여 방식인 ARS, SMS 방식을 포용하지 못한다. 본 논문은 기존의 시청자 참여 방식을 분석하고 기존 방식의 약점을 보안하여 URL 방식 명령을 통한 양방향 서비스를 제안한다. 이 방법은 작은 디스플레이를 통해 홈페이지 방식을 고집하지 않고, 기존의 ARS, SMS를 포용하며, 단순한 동작으로 시청자 참여가 가능하다. 본 논문이 제안하는 방법은 서비스 방식 및 구조에 따라 ARS 서비스를 제공하는 URL방식 명령, SMS 서비스를 제공하는 URL 명령, 서버응용 호출서비스를 위한 URL방식 명령(SERVER-URL), 클라이언트 응용호출 서비스를 위한 URL방식 명령(CLIENT-URL)으로 분류된다. 본 방법들은 사용자의 참여가 단순하게 이루어지도록 방송시 송출되며, 이러한 방법은 ol동 방송에 특히 적합할 것으로 사료되어, 앞으로 보다 실용적인 DMB 기반의 융합 서비스에 사용될 것으로 사료된다.

지상파 방송(DMB: Digital Multimedia Broadcasting)은 음성, 영상, 데이터와 같은 다양한 멀티미디어 신호를 디지털 방식으로 변조하여 이동 중에 방송을 청취할 수 있는 차세대 디지털방송 서비스이다. 그러나 지상파 DMB 전송 고도화망에서는 계층 변조(Hierarchical Modulation)전송 기법을 통하여 추가의 전송대역폭을 확보할 수 있다. 또한 스케일러블 비디오 코딩(Scalable Video Coding)부호화 방식을 이용하여 고전송효율/고품질의 이동 멀티미디어 방송서비스를 제공할 수 있는 고품질 AT(Advanced Terrestrial)-DMB 시스템이 가능하다. 이러한 고품질 AT-DMB의 개발에 있어서 여러 방식들이 제시됨에 따라 시뮬레이터를 통한 다중화 시스템의 분석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 고품질 AT-DMB가 가능한 스케일러블 비디오 방식을 JSVM8.8을 사용하여 구현하였으며, 다중화 시스템의 실험을 하였다. 또한 시뮬레이터를 통하여 복호된 계층 간의 화질 차이와 엔지니어를 위해 비트스트림의 분석화면 및 PSNR을 제공 하였다.

Satellite digital multimedia broadcasting (S-DMB) systems use gap fillers (GFs) to provide wireless multimedia services to non-line-of-sight locations. GFs act as repeaters, and S-DMB systems require GF networks in order to guarantee mobile reception. Each GF covers a cell or sector. In order to provide contiguous coverage of an area comprising two or more cells or sectors, multiple GFs are needed. However, when multiple GFs are situated close to each other, interference is likely to occur. As a result, in this study, we have investigated system-level environments for planning the design of interference-free GF networks in S-DMB systems. Our investigations revealed that S-DMB services are unavailable because of quality deterioration caused by interference when the delay attributable to a GF and the satellite signals exceeds ${\pm}$256 chips and the distance between the GF and its reception terminal is greater than 4.6 km. On the basis of this analysis, we conducted a field test that confirmed that the above-mentioned time delay can be controlled in such a way as to ensure high quality S-DMB services.

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.

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.

Layered structure of the Korean terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (TDMB) transmission system for multimedia broadcasting service is presented in this paper. We made a switching module which is called the Ensemble Remultiplexer. It is designed to remultiplex the Ensemble Transport Interface (ETI) for T-DMB service. This paper describes the remultiplexing process of the Ensemble Remultiplexer.

DS/CDM-QPSK (ITU-R Recommendation BO.1130-4 Annex 6, 'Digital System E'), which has been adoptedas a standard of Korean Satellite DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) system, is a satellite-based multimedia broadcasting service which transmits the multi-channel and high quality contents to the terrestrial users through a satellite or gap-fillers. The broadcast from a satellite is directly received in the plain terrain which are within line-of-sight, but in cities where the broadcast cannot be received directly due to the shadow of buildings, an attempt is being made to install 'Gap-Fillers' to improve the reception in those areas. The gap-fillers, however, may induce interference to service of adjacent band, when their output power is substantially higher compared to the received signal power of signal from a satellite of the adjacent service. In this paper, a link budget analysis is performed, and the optimal EIRP of a gap-filler to maximize the gap-filler coverage, while preventing adjacent band interference is derived.

With dramatic development of IT technology and start of DMB service, installing the DMB equipment in a vehicle for watching TV programs and literal or pictorial traffic information are increasing. Watching the DMB during driving the vehicle could cause visual and cognitive distraction to drivers as much as eating food, operating radio and using mobile phone. However, there is not much empirical research for this topic and no research examined the effect of watching the DMB on driving behaviors in Korea. So, the present study examined the effect of watching the DMB on the driving behaviors with car simulator experiment. Within subject design was used in the study. That is, all subjects drove the vehicle both in the watching DMB condition and the non-watching DMB condition. The results indicated that subjects in the watching DMB condition took longer time to arrive at the destination and operated accelerator and brake pedal rapidly than subjects in the non-watching DMB condition. That is, their overall driving stability was lower than non-watching subjects'. Additionally, we examined the difference among the DMB control conditions (i.e., keypad condition, touch-pad condition and remote controller condition) in the driving behaviors. Finally, we discussed the limitations and the implications of the present study.

The era of convergence is being applied to all areas of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The convergence of broadcasting service and communication service almost occurs on smart devices including smartphone. The smart hybrid Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) is a typical example of the convergence of broadcasting and wireless communication service. The hybrid mobile broadcasting service can support seamless video, 3D, high quality, and additional data services based on network connection between the broadcasting and wireless network. The gateway and terminal (including apps on the smartphone) take the role of the main components on the hybrid service. This paper presents the service concept, main components structure, the implementation of gateway and terminals, and field test to the urban areas for the mobile hybrid system.
