Nowadays, as digital technologies are rapidly developed and requirements for the various types of broadband multimedia services increases, the radio broadcasting is moving to digitalization. DAB(Digital Audio Broadcasting), as an alternation of existing analog radio broadcasting, is a new type of multimedia broadcasting system. DAB supports not only high-quality audio broadcasting but also various types of multimedia data services. In this paper, we investigate the performance optimization method of MOT Protocol, as the standard for additional services, to support the multimedia services in the DAB network. Because the performance of the MOT protocol is dependent on various parameters such as segment size, segment repetition and so on, we find those by simulation for performance optimization. According to simulation results, the suitable segment size is about 2Kbyte and segment repetition is 4 times for performance optimization.

In this paper, we propose and present implementation results of a high-speed turbo decoding algorithm. The latency caused by (de)interleaving and iterative decoding in a conventional maximum a posteriori turbo decoder can be dramatically reduced with the proposed design. The source of the latency reduction is from the combination of the radix-4, center to top, parallel decoding, and early-stop algorithms. This reduced latency enables the use of the turbo decoder as a forward error correction scheme in real-time wireless communication services. The proposed scheme results in a slight degradation in bit error rate performance for large block sizes because the effective interleaver size in a radix-4 implementation is reduced to half, relative to the conventional method. To prove the latency reduction, we implemented the proposed scheme on a field-programmable gate array and compared its decoding speed with that of a conventional decoder. The results show an improvement of at least five fold for a single iteration of turbo decoding.

The Korean radio broadcasting system is analog. Compared with digital radio, the analog radio decreases the frequency efficiency. HD Radio is the method where the digital signal is transmitted on either side of the analog PM signal. Therefore, without relocating the analog frequency can transmit digital signals. If interference between analog and digital signal occurs it is impossible to receive smoothly, so HD Radio interference with existing analog PM will be analyzed. In this paper, based on Mt.Gwae-Bang stations within +-400kHz frequency of l03.5MHz, and to use the station to station by specifying the HD Radio channel interference, place the structures were analyzed. Through this paper, the reader of a digital radio frequency interference in the system know that it may obtain information about.

The purpose of this study is to analyze DMB(digital multimedia broadcasting) technologies of transmitting GIS-based traffic information for developing DMB systems compared with FM DARC(FM data radio channel). R&D and standardizations for transmitting GIS-based traffic information have been rapidly changed, as radical developments in ITS(intelligent transportation systems), telemaics, and communication methods such as ubiquitous and convergences of broadcasting and communications. Each communication method employs different GIS format, protocol, and standardizations, i.e., GML(geography markup language) and TPEG(transport protocol experts group). This paper presents technical methods and trends of transmitting traffic information using broadcasting along with FM DARC, in general, and DMB, in particular.

Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) is a digital radio transmission system for sending multimedia such as radio, TV, and data casting to mobile devices. Nowadays, DMB specifications are the major standard for digital broadcasting and have been establishing for bidirectional service using MPEG-4 system. But there has been only some simple demonstrated system for this bidirectional services. In this paper, we introduce bidirectional DMB data service system that provides the interaction between the user and DMB server without any additional equipment such as web server. The proposed bidirectional DMB system can capture and send user interaction information and response through the existing DMB transmission channel, finally update the original contents. The action event from the user is the most important thing in developing the bidirectional DMB system. Therefor, capturing the event data from the user is the first step we need to do for the bidirectional DMB service. In this paper, we propose an interaction manager module for the user events. This system will extract the user events and make a plan to update the original scene with the server's reaction information.

In this paper, the possibility and necessity of the digital broadcasting propulsion in AM and FM is presented based on DRM and DRM+ transmission modes, They are the members of series technological family in digital radio development. As the frequency utilization, the application of DRM+ is flexible in any mode such as IN-BAND or OUT-OF-BAND. When the digital audio broadcasting is planned at LOW-VHF bandwidth such as TV channel No.5 and NO.6 being adjacent to FM band and OUT-Of-BAND DRM+ technology is applied, there is no collision and jamming. Particularly, in the IN-BAND Hybrid mode, it is mentioned that there was the difficulty problem for multiple SFN transmitters uses. Not like the IN-BAND mode the OUT-OF-BAND mode lets multiple transmitters, because neighbor transmitters do not interfere each other. Digital transmitter can be combined with the existing FM transmitter. The intensity of power and size of area can be easily determined according to local broadcasters' condition. And the OUT-OF-BAND mode is advantageous for AM/FM integration in digital radio receiver manufacturing, which makes the conversion schedule much shorter.

TETRA(TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) provide specialized disaster radio communication services as a standard European for digital TRS(Trunked Radio System). Especially, DMO(Direct Mode Operation) feature is used effectively in the radio shadow areas which base station does not propagate radio signal because it can communicate directly with terminal to terminal without base station's relay function. However, to effectively used DMO feature, radio coverage prediction information should be provided to users. Therefore in this paper, we were calculated link budget of TETRA DMO terminals which were distributing and operating in the country and then predicted reaching distance about radio propagation to be applied with path loss model.

The Eureka-147 Digital Audio Broadcasting(DAB) system is the new international standard for mobile broadcasting services including high-quality audio, program associated data and other multimedia data. In this paper, we design the transport frame structures for the mobile multimedia services by using the configuration of the Eureka-147 DAB multiplex and MPEG system specifications, and then compare their performances in terms of functionality and overhead. Especially, we suggest and analyze the effective transport structures, which are improved in the efficiency of media multiplexing architecture, by removing the functionally overlapped parts between DAB and MPEG systems. In addition, we evaluate the transmission environments of various DAB data channels and demonstrate the transmission error effects on the low bit rate video stream.

In the early stage, the radio communication industry was widely accepted as a monopoly industry, so it has been controled and managed by government. But the advanced technology in Information and Technology industry has led constant increase of demand and dramatic change of communication market. Furthermore it is expected that frequency resource is to be short by market change due to wire-wireless integration. That is why the effort to utilize and manage limited frequency resource efficiently is being executed around the world. Not only newly developing and allocating the spectrum but also reallocating the existing spectrum important are, since transforming inefficiently used existing spectrum to new service can increase producer's surplus and social welfare. The economic approach to valuate the spectrum and spectrum usage right is necessary different from the traditional cost based approach, and through this approach I expect active transaction of spectrum. In this paper the real option methodology is used for valuation of spectrum, considering spectrum user's option right based on future revenue. In detail, the matter of withdrawing and reallocating the existing analog radio broadcasting spectrum is evaluated in this paper, The digitalization of a broadcasting service is widely spreaded around the world in terms of technology and service utility, and analog TV broadcasting has already been decided to be transformed to digital TV broadcasting. It was planned to convert analog radio broadcasting to DAB service before adopting DMB service, but nowadays this issue is not on the table anymore. However if the increasing demand of digital voice and broadcasting service is considered, this kind of research to valuate a spectrum is needed urgently. The result of this research shows that when the redeployment of spectrum is done, social welfare will increases. The point of the reallocation time and value are suggested by the monte carlo simulation through ROVM. In this paper, I use real option to valuate the spectrum and provide the point of the reallocation time and reasonable guideline, and moreover, the suitable information of this paper is expected to reduce risk and loss in policy practice.

The interference evaluation methods and criteria between the analogue TV/FM signals for BSS(Broadcasting Satellite Service) plans and the associated feeder link plans were established in WARC(World Administrative Radio Conference)-77 and 88. However, it should be applied the different interference evaluation methods and criteria of the digital TV signals from those of the analogue TV/FM signals. In this paper, the interference evaluation methods and criteria between the digital TV signals and the analogue TV/FM signals were analyzed. And also, the effects of the interference from the digital signals for Koreasat-1 into the analogue TV/FM signals for Japanese broadcasting satellite were evaluated. The amounts of EIRP reduction in the transmitting space stations were calculated to meet the interference criteria. The results showed that the digital BSS networks including Koreasat-1 would share the limited resources with the analogue BSS networks.
