In this paper, integral TS(Transport Stream) demultiplexer of a multi-modal receiver is proposed according to the multiple standards of European terrestrial digital broadcasting DVB-T(Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial), and mobile terrestrial digital broadcasting T-DMB(Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting). This USB based integral receiver could recover the multi-modal broadcasting audios by memory sharing technique which was utilized to decrease the load by the control of streaming multi-modal broadcasting. As a result of performance analysis for a proposed integral TS demultiplexer, the CPU occupational efficiency of windows based integral demulitiplexing is improved compared with DVB-T, and T-DMB respectively.

In mobile broadcasting networks, handover is an important issue to support seamless mobility. DVB-H(Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld) standard was developed to enhance mobile features for DVB-T(Digital Video Broadcasting -Terrestrial) standard. This paper proposes new approaches for improving handover performance in the DVB-H networks. The proposed handover schemes are targeted to two different DVB-H receivers: One is for the receivers equipped with GPS devices. The other is for ones without GPS support. The first handover approach modifies the cell description table (CDT) proposed in the literature [1]. The second proposes a novel estimation technique of predefined handover region based on a new handover map table (HMT). This new handover approach estimates a predefined handover region with the measured RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication) signal patterns. Using proposed handover algorithm, we can reduce time and power consumption. Through the computer simulations, we evaluate the performance of handover algorithm.

This paper proposes a novel method for pilot-aided integer frequency offset (IFO) estimation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based digital video broadcasting-terrestrial (DVB-T) systems. The conventional method proposed for estimating the IFO uses only partial information of combinations that pilots can provide, which stems from a rigorous assumption that the channel responses of pilots used for estimating the IFO change very rapidly. In this paper, we propose an efficient IFO estimation method exploiting additional information of combinations that pilots can provide to improve the performance of the IFO estimation. The simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional method in terms of the IFO detection probability.

In this paper, a DVB-T2(Digital Video Broadcasting-the 2nd Generation Terrestrial) receiver is designed under a USB-type windows environment, and the baseband frames for MPEG2-TS stream(File or Ethernet Modes) are analyzed for verifying the receiver. In addition, the performance of the BICM(Bit Interleaved Coding & Modulation) module in the receiver is analyzed in terms of PLP(Physical Layer Pipe) and L1(Layer 1) signals.

This paper studies the Turbo Codes, the concatenation of Turbo Codes and Reed-Solomon (RS) codes on Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) in digital communication channel, and then analysis the performances of the new concatenated Forward Error Correct (FEC) scheme applied to an OFDM system based on the digital terrestrial video broadcasting (DVB-T) scheme. We compared the results with the standard DVB-T convolutional codes performances on Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels. The simulation results shown that by employing turbo codes with only a few numbers of iterations, the performances of the overall system can be improved significantly. These results will be obtained by applying an appropriate interleaver technique in the concatenated FEC procedure.

DVB-H(Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhold) is a new standard, currently being developed, which defines mobile enhancements for the DVB-T (DVB-Terrestrial) standard. For the reception of service via mobile handheld devices, seamless mobility and power saving are essential requirements of DVB-H. For seamless handover, the receiver should monitor neighboring cells and it increases the power consumption. And so, power efficient handover scheme to support both mobility and power saving is required. In this paper, we propose power efficient handover scheme to reduce power consumption by reducing the number of frequency scanning during the handover. Through the numerical evaluation, we analyze the performance of handover schemes.

In this paper, a turbo equalizer is proposed for the digital video broadcasting for terrestrial - 2nd generation (DVB-T2) system. The proposed turbo equalizer is consisted with the maximum a posteriori (MAP) and low density parity check (LDPC) decoder. The channel information for the soft-input-soft-output (SISO) MAP equalizer is based on the least square (LS) channel estimator. The performance is analyzed through computer simulations in terms of the iteration number.

DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial) is an important multimedia broadcasting technology capable of high data-rate transmission and adopted by Europe. OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is the backbone technique employed in DVB-T to support multimedia services that have various bandwidths. Unfortunately, an OFDM signal has a large PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio). In this paper, we investigate the performance of a simple PAPR reduction scheme for the DVB-T system, which requires no change of a receiver structure or no additional information transmission. The approach we employed is clipping in the time and frequency domains. The time-domain clipping is carried out with a predetermined clipping level while the frequency-domain clipping is done within EVM (Error Vector Magnitude). This approach is suboptimal with lower computational complexity compared to the optimal method. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed one is getting more effective at lower modulation levels and with more allowed constellation error.

A miniaturized planar digital video broadcasting terrestrial (DVB-T) antenna, which is composed of a patterned helical line, an open stub, and an impedance matching circuit on an FR4 (${\varepsilon}_r$=4.4) substrate for portable media player applications, is presented in this letter. The antenna has monopole-like, omni-directional radiation characteristics and a wide impedance bandwidth (VSWR<3) in the DVB-T band from 174 MHz to 230 MHz at the VHF band.
