Abstract

Terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (TDMB) is a method of bringing multimedia images, radio, internet, and television to portable devices through terrestrial digital radio transmissions. TDMB related educations being carried out in colleges are focusing on developing firmware which enables users to choose a wanted service. TDMB transmission frame is made up of synchronization channel (SC), fast information channel (FIC), and main service channel (MSC). Services such as video, audio and date are transmitted in the form of subchannel in the MSC. FIC carries information related to each services and subchannels. This paper presents a TDMB frame analysis simulator for analyzing and displaying FIC data on PC. TDMB frame analysis simulator contains functions such as controlling TDMB receiver through USB, establishing the frequency, bringing FIC to PC, displaying ensemble ID and levels, and displaying informations related to services and subchannels. In addition to that, this simulator has a function of being able to store FIC date and subchannel data. This simulator being developed with C++ is expected to be used to view those data visually so that it helps students to understand the TDMB system better and bring about the educational motivation.

T-DMB는 유럽의 Eureka-147 DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) 표준을 바탕으로 멀티미디어 방송이 가능하도록 표준을 추가하여 만든 서비스로 이동 중에 동영상 시청, 고품질오디오 청취, 교통정보서비스(TPEG) 등의 서비스를 제공하고 있다. T-DMB 전송 프레임은 SC 채널, FIC 채널, MSC 채널로 구성된다. 비디오, 오디오, 데이터와 같은 서비스는 MSC 채널에서 서브채널 형태로 전송되며 FIC 채널은 각 서비스와 서브채널에 관련된 정보를 전달한다. 본 연구에서는 학부, 대학원 및 교육원들에서 교육되고 있는 지상파 DMB (T-DMB) 시스템과 관련하여 T-DMB 수신기에서 수신한 T-DMB 전송 프레임을 PC로 전달하여 PC 상에서 수신된 T-DMB 전송 프레임을 분석하고 비쥬얼하게 나타내어 줌으로 T-DMB 시스템의 이해를 돕고 학습동기를 유발할 수 있도록 T-DMB 전송 프레임 분석 시뮬레이터를 C++를 이용하여 개발하고 이를 실험하였다.
