In this paper, we was performed the interference analysis to determine an optimal coexisting criteria for the european digital video broadcasting service (DVB-T2) and the IMT-advanced LTE based TV Band Device (TVBD). The TVBD was equipped with the spectrum cognition method. To this end, we set the various transmission parameters, that includes the emission and blocking mask, antenna height and gain, transmission power and bandwidth, channel model etc. Based on this parameters, we were calculated the allowable transmit power, the number of TVBD and the change in probability of interference for the TVBD user operating in the adjacent channels of the DVB-T2 user. Also this paper presents how many TVBD users can sharing with DVB-T2 for spectral cognition performance.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a multi-mode mobile broadcasting Emergency Warning System (EWS) transmission and reception system which enables the propagation of disaster information using the encoding and transmission, reception and decoding methods specified in diverse mobile broadcasting standards. The implemented system supports global mobile broadcasting standards such as Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB), Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H), Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T), and the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) digital radio standard. The system consists of two key part: an encoding/transmission part and a reception/decoding part. The multi-mode mobile broadcasting EWS encoding and transmission system generates EWS data according to each broadcasting specification. The generated EWS data is then transmitted through a channel interface which meets the commercial broadcasting equipment specification. The receiver system receives and decodes the EWS data on a single hardware platform and can display the results on screen. Verification and conformity testing has been carried out on the implemented system by transmitting emergency data for each mode in real-time and displaying the received information in text on the receiver display.

DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhold) is a new standard, currently being developed for a portable digital broadcasting, which enhance the multimedia broadcasting service in the Euroapean standard DVB-T (DVB-Terrestrial). Seamless mobility and power saving are essential requirements in the DVB-H system. To support seamless mobility, DVB-H system should provides seamless handover for mobile stations in the MFN (multi frequency network). For seamless handover, the receiver should monitor neighboring cells and it increases the power consumption. And so, power efficient sell searching algorithm for seamless handover is required. In this paper, we propose hypothesis feeling based handover algorithm to enhance the power efficiency by using the fast cell searching, and analyze the performance of handover schemes through the numerical evaluation and simulation.

In this paper, several computer simulations are investigated to confirm the DVB-H system performance and to find proper single frequency network cell coverage. From the result, we confirm that 2K mode transmission is more robust to Doppler frequency than 8K mode. The result of this paper can be partially applied to the design the single frequency network.

The ultra-high definition television (UHDTV) has been considered as a next generation broadcsating service. However the conventional digital terrestrial transmission system cannot afford the required transmission data rate of UHDTV, and thus adopting ultra-high order constellation, such as 4096-QAM, into the conventional DTT systems has been studied. In particular, when the ultra-high order constellation is adopted into the digital video broadcasting-2nd generation terrestrial (DVB-T2) unequal-error protection (UEP) properties of a codeword of an error correction coding and ultra-high order constellations should be properly matched by bit mapper in order to enhance the decoding performance. Because long codeword results in a heavy computational complexity to design the bit mapper, the DVB-T2 divided it into cascaded blocks, the bit interleaver and the bit-to-cell DEMUX, and there have been many researches related to each block. However, there are few published study related to design methodology of bit interleaver. In this respect, this paper proposes a design methodology of the bit interleaver and presents bit interleavers of 1024-QAM and 4096-QAM according to the proposed design algorithm. The newly designed interleavers improved the decoding performance of the error correction coding by maximally 0.6 dB SNR over both of AWGN and random fading channel.

In this paper, we design the hardware architecture of the BICM(Bit Interleaved Coded Modulation) module for next generation European broadcast system and implement the BICM module with DSP(Digital Signal Processor) TMS320C6474. Simulation result shows that the BER(Bit Error Rate) performance of the fixed-point BICM module using more than 8 bits is very similar to that of the floating-point BICM module.

In this paper, the possibility of a terrestrial fixed 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) and mobile HD (High Definition) convergence broadcasting service through a single channel employing the FEF (Future Extension Frame) multiplexing technique in DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)-T2 (Second Generation Terrestrial) systems is examined. The performance of such a service is also investigated. FEF multiplexing technology can be used to adjust the FFT (fast Fourier transform) and CP (cyclic prefix) size for each layer, whereas M-PLP (Multiple-Physical Layer Pipe) multiplexing technology in DVB-T2 systems cannot. The convergence broadcasting service scenario, which can provide fixed 4K UHD and mobile HD broadcasting through a single terrestrial channel, is described, and transmission requirements of the SHVC (Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding) technique are predicted. A convergence broadcasting transmission system structure is described by employing FEF and transmission technologies in DVB-T2 systems. Optimized transmission parameters are drawn to transmit 4K UHD and HD convergence broadcasting by employing a convergence broadcasting transmission structure, and the reception performance of the optimized transmission parameters under AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise), static Brazil-D, and time-varying TU (Typical Urban)-6 channels is examined using computer simulations to find the TOV (threshold of visibility). From the results, for the 6 and 8 MHz bandwidths, reliable reception of both fixed 4K UHD and mobile HD layer data can be achieved under a static fixed and very fast fading multipath channel.

차세대 유럽형 디지털 지상파 TV 표준인 DVB-T2 (Digital Video Broadcasting; a 2nd Generation Terrestrial)는 아날로그 TV시대의 끝을 알리는 ASO(Analogue Switch Off)에 의해 새롭게 확보될 방송 주파수를 통해 다채널 HDTV 서비스와 다양한 데이터 서비스를 제공해줄 것으로 예상된다. DVB-T2는 DVB-T에 비해 전송효율을 30% 이상 향상시켰으며 기존 송신 인프라와 수신안테나를 그대로 사용할 수 있어 상업화 조건을 고루 갖추고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 본고에서는 이러한 DVB-T2 End-to-End 체인 참조모델을 간략히 소개하고 송신기술에 대해 개괄적으로 설명한다.

This paper is concerning about the demapping method using the pilots inserted in transmitter in COFDM(Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) demodulator which is the standard transmission method of terrestrial digital TV system in Europe(DVB-T). We have presented a simple and efficient method of CSI(Channel State Information) generation and demapping method using CSI. The CSI was derived from the pilot carriers inserted with comb-type among the received active carriers, which is defined as a SNR. From the simulation results for the 3 different constellations of the receiver, we could confirm that the system performance comparing with conventional soft decision method has been improved under DVB-T standard Rayleigh and Ricean fading channel.

An equalization algorithm is proposed for digital video broadcasting - terrestrial version 2 (DVB-T2) systems to minimize the noise effect. It is done by averaging frequency-domain data and channel responses obtained with different signal intervals for the same orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. Its performance is evaluated by computer simulations along with comparison of conventional algorithms.
