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.

2012년 말 아날로그 TV의 종료와 함께 기존의 아날로그 TV에서 사용하고 있는 채널들이 유휴 대역으로 존재한다. 현재 비교적 많은 유휴 상태로 있는 대역을 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 논의가 지속적으로 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 차세대 방송서비스를 위한 주파수 재분배 방법에 대해서 분석하였다. 차세대 방송 서비스는 역호환성(Backward Compatibility)이 보장되어야 한다고 가정하고, 현재 구성 되어있는 다중 주파수 망(MFN : Multi Frequency Network)의 한계와 이를 극복할 수 있는 방법에 대해서 기술하였다. 단일 주파수 망(SFN : Single Frequency Network)의 구성이 가능 한 경우, 현재 서비스 중인 HDTV 방송 서비스와 차후 제공할 수 있는 차세대 방송 서비스를 동시에 제공할 수 있도록 주파수 분배 안을 제시하였다.

To verify the performance of a Distributed Translator Network(DTxR) system in the real world conditions, 5 legacy DTV broadcasting repeater sites were implemented with 5 DTxR systems and field-tested by the DTV field test truck. The 4 DTV broadcasting repeater sites are selected in congested areas where their service areas are overlapped and the 5th site is deviated from the other sites to examine the effect of long-delayed multipath signals. First of all, we checked the receiving signal of the main station that used as a transmitting signal in 5 DTxR systems on the pre-selected 60 test points and tested every case of a DTxR system's on & off except 1 repeater site due to the already built-in DTV repeater system. The test items are received signal electric field strength, noise margin, ease of reception and subjective evaluation of the picture quality for received signals. We used 3rd, 5th, and 6th generation DTV receivers to examine the differences of the receivability by each generation of DTV receivers. Reviewing the test results, we conclude that the DTxR system can be adopted in the current DTV Repeater sites and it could improve the quality and receivability of the main signals by extending the service areas and enhancing the signal levels in the shadow areas without using the extra broadcasting channels.
