AT-DMB system has been developed to increase data rate up to double of conventional T-DMB in same bandwidth while maintaining backward compatibility. The AT-DMB system adopted hierarchical modulation which adds BPSK signal or QPSK signal as enhanced layer to existing DQPSK signal. The enhanced layer signal should be small enough to maintain backward compatibility and to minimize the coverage loss of existing T-DMB service area. But this causes the enhanced layer signal of AT-DMB susceptible to fading effect in transmission channel. A turbo code which has powerful error correction capability is applied to the enhanced layer signal of the AT-DMB system for compensating channel distortion. We developed the prototype AT-DMB transmitter and receiver systems for performance evaluation. LAB test for analysing the effect of constellation ratio between existing base layer signal and enhancement layer signal, was conducted and the measurement results are shown with analysis comments.

Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) is the mobile TV service based on a digital radio transmission system that provides high quality audio/video and other auxiliary data services. As users want to store the DMB content in their device to be consumed later or to be shared among users, a standardized format needs to be specified to guarantee the interoperability for the DMB contents for various devices. DMB AF (Application Format) specification defines a file format for DMB contents and services. It specifies how to combine the variety of DMB contents with associated information for a presentation in a well-defined format that facilitates storage, interchange, management, editing, and presentation of the DMB contents in protected, governed, and interoperable ways. In this paper we present our implementation of DMB AF as part of the development of DMB AF reference software. Our implementation of DMB AF is developed as the reference software for the standard specification that consists of a three applications: packager, media player, metadata browser and collection of supporting libraries used by the applications.

In this Paper we present analysis of efficiency for various encapsulation methods to transport IP datagram over terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB). The multimedia broadcasting system transmitted in one-way needs the data reliability for efficient transmission. And then It is able to select the independent data service using If encapsulation over T-DMB. We examine the compatibility in adopting T-DMB and the overhead of transmission occurring encapsulation. it also needs the full analysis of data framing because the cost of return channel is relatively higher. We do analysis based on theoretical calculation and propose an efficient, reliable and adaptable method in T-DMB.

In this paper, new LBS (location based service) are proposed using conventional DMB (digital multimedia/mobile broadcasting) system. LBS applications are proposed that can be suitable for the subway and ground transportation based on S-DMB (satellite-DMB) and T-DMB (terrestrial-DMB) respectively. In the shaded area such as subway, the broadcasting signal transmitted from the satellite of S-DMB system should be retransmitted by the earth repeater called the gap filler and each gap filler has its own identification value called the gap filler ID which introduces the area in which the gap filler was installed. Therefore, the LBS can be implemented by using the gap filler ID of S-DMB on the subway in which the GPS (global positioning system) can't be received. Unlike the LBS on the subway, the combination of T-DMB and DGPS (differential GPS) will be introduced as a way for ground transportation. Generally, DGPS has been designed to compensate the position value calculated from the GPS signal so that positioning error of about 1 meter can be obtained by using DGPS information. T-DMB system transmitting DGPS signal will be expected to be commercial in Korea and, if using DGPS information transmitted through T-DMB network, LBS with more precise positioning than GPS alone can be implemented in the ground vehicles.

CAS(Conditional Access System) was developed for paid-for service in cable and fixed satellite broadcast system and technology and market maturity are high. However, these assessment is limited by CAS in fixed broadcasting system. In case of digital mobile broadcast such as T-DMB is difficult to apply CAS technology of fixed broadcasting system because of a use method and technology characteristic. Expecially, in case T-DMB using limited resources, a CAS message which must transmit in each service channel can cause problems. It is desirable that system transmits the CAS message which transmitted by each service channel through logical CAS message-only channel. In order to make a logical CAS message channel, we need a multiplexing techniques for CAS message using in each channel. In this paper, we design the CAS message multiplexing techniques for composition of CAS message-only channel.

Recently, the regular service of a terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting(T-DMB) made faster distribution of T-DMB receiver. The problem of an illegal distribution is increasing owing to a large distribution of T-DMB receiver. In this paper, we propose a watermarking and encryption method on T-DMB bit-stream for a copy and Play control to prevent an illegal distribution of T-DMB contents. We implement our proposed method on a portable multimedia player (PMP) which has T-DMB receiver. The proposed method insert the encrypted information for control of copy and play after finding padding area of program map table (PMT) and program association table (PAT) from analysis of transport stream (TS) of T-DMB. In implementation result, we can control use of contents according to information of copy and play control. The proposed method can be used to content Protection software for blocking of an illegal distribution of T-DMB contents on a mobile T-DMB receivers.

As the T-DMB service is launched, some service requirements become necessary to send local programs such as advertisement and specific programs at the local broadcasting station while re-transmitting the broadcasting signal coming from the central or other station. In this paper, we propose a signalflow required for the effective splicing in the T-DMB system which usesboth MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 system specifications, and we illustrate the reconfiguring process into the ensemble stream that is widely used for the transmission of the T-DMB signal. Moreover, its performance is confirmed by comparing the images decoded at the recevier when the transport stream is swiched by using the splicer implemented through the proposed techniques.

In this research, we develope an estimation method for the estimation of the market potential in the new service (or product) diffusion model. The developed method is based on the ordered response model which can effectively incorporate the survey result of the multi-point scale intention for subscription as well as the responder's characteristics, the characteristics & attitudes of the related service. We also apply the developed method to an estimation of the market potential of the digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) service. As a result, an optimistic and a pessimistic estimates of DMB market potential are 41.10% and 14.83% of the cellular subscribers respectively.

DMB가 출범한지 2007년을 기준으로 3년을 맞이했다. DMB에 대해서는 일반적으로 많이 알려졌으며 새로운 방송 시스템으로 분명 뛰어난 기술이다. 하지만 방송 현업 종사자의 시각에서 볼 때 시청자들의 호응도는 답보상태에 머물고 있다고 판단된다. 방송위원회의 2007년 12월 조사 결과를 보면 DMB는 국민의 60% 이상이 향후에도 구입할 의향이 없다고 조사되었다. 그 이유는 기존방송을 재전송 하고 있는 상황에서 DMB에 맞는 영상 콘텐츠의 부족함으로 볼만한 콘텐츠가 없다는 것과, 작은 화면으로 인한 시각적 불편함 때문이라는 것이다. 또한 방송 초기 유료와 무료 여부에 대한 국가의 정책결정 등의 문제점이 복합적으로 작용하고 있다. 그 외의 불만 사항으로는 서비스 만족도에서 수신가능 지역에 대한 불만이 63.7%로 가장 많았고 배터리 수명의 한계에 대한 불만 54.4%와 단말기 가격에 대한 불만사항 등이 뒤를 이었다. 이런 상황을 종합해 볼 때 DMB는 당초 예상했던 것처럼 황금 알을 낳는 거위가 아니라는 것과, 신규미디어로서 새로운 콘텐츠의 수요창출에 그다지 성공적이지 못 함을 알 수 있다. DMB의 성패는 시청자의 활용도에 따라 판가름 난다고 본다. DMB 기존의 방송을 재전송하고 있다. 하지만 기존의 방송과는 다르게 DMB 자체의 특성에 적합한 콘텐츠로 제작되어야 할 것이다. 이러한 재전송의 문제점을 개선하고 보다 나은 제작방안을 제시하여 시청자들의 DMB 방송 접근 확대화와 활성화가 본 논문의 연구 목적이다.
