In this paper, we propose the technical considerations for the rules on television white space(TVWS), that becomes a center of public notice, in terms of incumbent services protection, technical requirements of television band devices (TVBDs) and administration of TV band databases. The basic idea behind the proposed method is based on the perfect protection of incumbent services such as digital television and wireless microphone. It has been found that FCC's approach has the advantage that a list of available channels and transmission power are provided for TVBDs faster than Ofcom's approach that requires DB to perform the algorithm for determining frequencies and transmission power for TVBDs everytime DB is asked from TVBDs.

본고에서는 DTV (Digital Television) 서비스로의 전환으로 사용 가능한 TV 화이트 스페이스 (TV White Space; TVWS)의 무선통신 기술규격과 위치정보 기반 TVWS DB (Geo-location based TVWS Database)에 대해 전반적인 내용을 소개하였다. 위치정보 기반 TVWS DB는 TVWS가 존재하는 VHF (Very High Frequency)와 UHF (Ultra High Frequency) 대역에서의 1차 우선 보호 서비스인 지상파 방송 서비스와 소출력 방송 중계기, 무선 마이크에 대한 간섭보호를 보증하며, TVWS를 활용하는 TVBD (TV Band Device)의 위치정보를 기반으로 허용가능 전송전력 및 TVWS 채널할당과 같은 핵심 역할을 수행한다. 본 고에서는 이와 함께 위치정보 기반 TVWS DB에 대한 국내외 연구개발 동향 및 시범 서비스 현황에 대해서도 소개하고자 한다.

This paper proposes a system called Wireless Link based on Global Communication Channel (WLGCC) to enhance the spectrum sharing between digital broadcasting (DB) services and the cognitive radio (CR) system in the licensed band of 470-790 MHz. The WLGCC aims to enhance the spectrum sensing and geolocation database (GLD) spectrum sharing methods in the CR system. Spectrum sensing can be enhanced by receiving the status of the used frequencies from the WLGCC, thereby eliminating the need for a low detection threshold (i.e., avoiding the hidden node problem). In addition, the GLD can be enhanced by providing a reliable communication link between the database and the CR device in the form of an unused TV white space that is reserved as the proposed Global Communication Channel (GCC). This paper analyzes the coexistence of the new WLGCC system and the DB service in terms of avoiding additional interference. Specifically, we mathematically determine the WLGCC parameters, such as the in-band and out-of-band power levels, and operation coverage, and verify them using Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that WLGCC does not degrade the existing DB service and reliably transmits information of the vacant (or used) frequency bands to the CR.

portable white space device(WSD) obeying the Korean regulations of TV white space(TVWS) can cause harmful interference to a digital TV receiver residing at the same pixel around the edge of the digital TV service coverage for the case with a changed propagation environment. In order to solve this problem, we propose a method to allocate the resource of a hybrid WSD based on TVWS geo-location DB with spectrum sensing. Using the received power of digital TV signal through the spectrum sensing, a hybrid WSD can calculate the maximum permitted EIRP based on location probability. Based on the accurate allocation method proposed in this paper, it is possible to satisfy the Korean TVWS regulations and to eliminate the harmful interference to TV receivers nearby the hybrid WSD.

In this raper, we propose the Sequentiel Couleur Avec Memoire or Sequential Color with Memory (SECAM) video encoder system using modified anti-cloche filters and the SECAM video decoder system using a band pass filter (BPF) and an error-free square root. The SECAM encoder requires an anti-cloche filter recommended by International Telecommunication Union-Recommendation (ITU-R) Broadcasting service Television (BT) 470. However, the design of the anti-cloche filter is difficult because the frequency response of the anti-cloche filter is very sharp around rejection-frequency area. So, we convert the filter into a hish pass filter (HPF) by shifting the rejection frequency of 4.286MHz to 0Hz frequency. The design of HPF becomes very easy, compared to that of the anti-cloche filter. The proposed decoder also uses an error-free square root, two differentiators and trigonometric functions to extract color-component information of Db and Dr accurately from frequency modulation (FM) signals in SECAM systems. Also, the BPF in decoder it used for removing color noise in chrominance and dividing CVBS into chrominance and luminance. The proposed systems are experimentally demonstrated with Altera FPGA APEX20KE EP20K1000EBC652-3 device and TV sets.
