This paper presents a dynamic resource allocation algorithm with multi-frequency time-division multiple access for the return link of interactive satellite multimedia networks such as digital video broadcasting return channel via satellite systems. The proposed timeslot assignment algorithm, called the very efficient dynamic timeslot assignment (VEDTA) algorithm, gives an optimal assignment plan within a very short period. The optimality and computational efficiency of this algorithm demonstrate that it will be useful in field applications.

Eureka-147 DAB(Digital Audio Broadcasting) system on which DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) system is based, was designed for the requirements of CD qualify audio with ${10}^{-4}$ bit error rate. Audio program may be primary service in DAB system, but multimedia program can be primary service in DMB system. Therefore, the bit error rate required must be below ${10}^{-7}$∼${10}^{-8}$ to transmit multimedia data via DMB channel. In order to meet the requirements and keep backward compatibility of DAB system we propose an outer channel coding scheme using Reed-Solomon coding and convolutional interleaving. This paper shows the simulation results for DMB channel performance based on mobile channel model. Also, it describes the needs and the effects of the outer channel coding.

The analogue radio broadcasting was proven to be a successful and efficient media of delivering information because of free content and wide availability of cheap receivers. But the competition was more dropped than any other media due to the limited amount of radio spectrum that is available. The risk of doing nothing is to miss the opportunity and to loss existing audiences in the long term, or to be locked into inefficient proprietary systems. That is the reason why it is important to act now. It is time for regulators and market participants to hone their strategies, by clearly establishing factors to adopt the digital radio and to facilitate its diffusion. The purpose of this study is to find adoption factors that affected to potential users of digital radio broadcasting. Former research based on diffusion of innovation theory showed that adoption of innovation is affected by demographic variables, media usage and consumer's attitude of innovation. In this study based on a consumer survey, we examined those factors and characteristics of each steps that suggested in diffusion of innovation theory. The findings of this study have implications to explore the suitable technologies and services of digital radio broadcasting.

In this paper, the Transport Protocol Experts Group(TPEG) transmission and reception system based on Digital Radio Mondiale(DRM) is implemented for traffic information services. DRM stands for the European radio broadcasting standard to bring AM radio into digital radio, designed to work at frequencies below 30MHz. DRM can offer various data services such as text messages and a slide show service as well as audio services. In spite of low datarate, the TPEG system on DRM has an advantage that the traffic information service system for whole country can be established because DRM can offer wider service ranges than terrestrial-digital multimedia broadcasting(T-DMB) and simply archive a single frequency network.

In this paper, the current status of domestic radio use was compared with foreign countries such as the UK and the US. As a result of the comparison, it was found that the radio reach in both the UK and the US was very high at around 90%, but in Korea it was found to be very low at 21.7%. In addition, in the UK and the US, radio broadcasting is recognized as an important medium for delivering disaster warning messages in the event of a disaster, but in Korea, the importance of radio broadcasting in disaster situations was assessed at 0.7%, confirming that its importance is being overlooked. And the measures to increase the domestic radio broadcasting usage rate are 'Improving service quality such as expanding radio reception coverage', 'Awareness of the importance of radio broadcasting as a disaster warning medium', 'Introduction of digital radio' and 'Introduction of FM radio data broadcasting'. are presented.

In this letter, we introduce a new middleware architecture and its generic application programming interface (API) (called the T-DMB MATE API) for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB). Middleware in T-DMB enables inter-operable applications to be downloaded from both broadcast and telecommunication networks in advance and to be executed in any type of T-DMB receiver. The middleware we introduce here is especially designed to support a proposed method for application provisions applied to a concept of application module appropriate to the service environment of T-DMB. We also verify the designed T-DMB MATE API through the implementation of the middleware and its application in a PC-based receiver.

Recently, analog broadcasting are being converted into digital radio broadcasts, Among the various ways that HD Radio is a candidate for the U.S. approach, Digital Radio will transmit a digital signal to existing analog FM/AM. It provides clear sound quality, traffic information, weather information and various value-added services. In addition, the converted digital radio will be able to meet demand to growing demand for analog FM. In this paper, Digital FM Radio system in the same frequency band using electric field strength of the received digital radio broadcasting interference effects were analyzed. And Digital FM Radio Receiver interference effects were analyzed by interference signal power and signal power. Results were confirmed by applying equation at minimum field strength and SNR.

In the current wireless communication technology, the digital radio system replaces the analog radio broadcasting. Since the in-band digital radio systems are used in the existing analog radio frequency band, interference problems of digital radio are caused. It is important to effectively analyze the interference. In this paper, to analyze SINR and BEP (bit error probability) of digital radio system, we propose the analysis method considering angular effect. The angular effect means a method to analyze the interference when the receiver is located in different directions around the transmitter. These results are able to give basic information for the allocation of digital radio networks.

In this paper, we present a practical implementation of the MPEG-21 multimedia framework for broadcasting and communication convergent services. MPEG-21 standard technology was exploited to build a convergent service framework. Using this framework, a service model and several scenarios have been successfully designed and implemented. In addition, interoperability, which is the main objective of a multimedia framework, especially in a convergent environment consisting of heterogeneous networks and various types of devices, has been addressed in detail. The experimental results show that the implemented test bed provides a next-generation multimedia service; that is, universal multimedia access (UMA), meeting the requirements of a broadcasting and communication convergent environment.
