디지털 제작, 압축 기술의 발전, 유무선 인터넷 보급 확산, 다양한 전송 및 서비스 플랫폼의 등장, 전송 기술의 광대역화, 단말 기술의 발전, 라이프스타일 변화와 킬러 서비스 등장으로 미디어 시장은 급속도로 발전하고 있다. 지상파 방송은 아날로그에서 디지털로 전환하고 있으며, 고화질, 다채널, 모바일, 3D 서비스를 제공하거나 제공할 예정에 있다. 현재 디지털 TV는 아날로그 TV와 동시 방송 형태로 제공되고 있지만 2012년말 디지털 TV로 완전한 전환을 앞두고 있으며, 모바일 TV인 DMB는 2005년말 본방송을 시작하여 전국 서비스를 제공하고 방송 커버리지를 확장하고 있다. FM과 AM의 디지털화를 위한 디지털 오디오 방송도 방식 선정을 위한 절차가 진행 중이다. 전파는 송신소에서 단말까지 전송되는 도중 신호레벨 감쇠, 페이딩, 왜곡, 잡음 유입 등을 겪게 된다. 양질의 지상파 방송을 제공하기 위해서는 전파가 수신 가능한 상태 이상의 양호한 상태로 시청자에게 전달되어야 한다. 이를 위해 방송사는 방송 수신 품질을 측정하고 수신이 불량한 지역에 대해서는 송신기 설치, 송신 출력 증강, 중계기 설치 등을 통해 양질의 서비스 제공이 가능한 방송 서비스 영역을 확대한다. 다양한 지상파 방송 매체에서 수신 품질 평가를 위해 가장 많이 측정하는 항목은 전계강도이다. 대부분의 경우 어떤 지역의 전계강도가 해당 매체가 요구하는 기준 레벨 이상이면 해당 지역을 양호 지역으로 평가한다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 지상파 방송 매체에 대한 전계강도를 측정하고 이를 분석할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안 시스템을 이용하면 자동화된 절차에 의해 최단 시간에 다양한 지역에 대한 방송 수신 품질을 측정하고, 그 결과를 분석하여 방송 서비스 영역에 대한 평가를 내릴 수 있으며, 측정결과를 DB로 관리하여 동일 채널에 대한 이전 측정결과와 비교 분석, 다른 채널과 전계강도 비교 분석을 통해 특정 송신기 출력이 감소되거나 특정 안테나 출력에 문제가 발생한 경우에도 이를 쉽게 감지하여 최적의 방송망 구축 및 관리가 가능하다.

Era of multi-channel digital multimedia on the Internet, cable, satellite and IPTV and the growth of new media such as terrestrial broadcast advertising with the poor rating has also dropped sharply. In this situation, terrestrial TV suggesting the introduction of in-program advertising appearing comments. In this study, the introduction of these intermediate advertising the public and professional awareness about the issue by comparing the introduction of in-program advertising feasibility was done in the purpose. Studies on terrestrial TV suggesting the introduction of in-program advertising and public opinion about the differences in perception between experts is high. The introduction of in-program advertising validity of these data for future in-program advertising to provide a basis for enforcement is expected to give.

In this paper, we implemented a terrestrial/cable PSIP converting system, so-called a PSIP converter, which is converting a terrestrial PSIP into a cable PSIP for a data broadcasting service in the interoperable network of terrestrial and cable, and define an interface between the PSIP converter and the OOB SI generator by using PMCP messages compliant to ATSC T3/Sl. The exiting PSIP converter just converts a terrestrial PSIP into a cable PSIP compliant to ATSC and OCAP standard and transmits by a MPEG-2 TS format. That is to say, it is not for the digital data broadcasting but for the digital broadcasting. In addition, the PSIP converter can support various types of PSIP information to the OOB SI generator by using PMCP messages defined by a hierarchical structure as per each channel, audio/video event, data event and so on.

Traffic information is considered as one of the core contents of the terrestrial DMB. This paper proposes and implements the data broadcasting system, which automatically collects data and transmits the contents in order to provide traffic information promptly The proposed data broadcasting system comprises the following three subsystems: 1 he traffic information integration system for collecting and processing data in real-time, the traffic information authoring system for automatically creating and verifying the contents, and the traffic information transmission system for transmitting the created contents. We describe these subsystems in detail about their functionality, components and interoperability. The proposed data broadcasting system provides the HWS type contents as the PAD data of the terrestrial DMB audio broadcast. Finally, we describe our implementation of the data broadcasting system, and suggest further improvements that need to be made.

Terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting(T-DMB) is one of mobile broadcasting services, and the commercial service was started in December 2005 in Korea. The performance targets of T-DMB are providing VCD(video CD) quality video and FM radio quality audio. In recent years, the researches for providing high quality video or audio service on T-DMB environments have been being carried out. To provide high-quality video or audio service, some additional data should be transmitted to the receiver as well as T-DMB video and audio data. Since the data rate for one T-DMB program is low, it is important to transmit the additional data at a low bit rate. In this paper, we propose a packetizing method for efficient transmission of the additional data to provide multichannel audio service on T-DMB environment.

Increasing demand for realistic media and improvement of transmission and device techniques accelerate ultra-high definition(UHD) service realization. In Korea, the cable TV broadcasting companies are planning to commercialize in Apr. 2014. For the terrestrial TV broadcasting service, technical issues are considered for the specification of UHD broadcasting system. However, the frequency bands and the system bandwidth for the terrestrial UHD broadcasting system have not been decided. In this paper, we propose required spectrum bandwidth for the next-generation terrestrial broadcasting service considering source coding, error correcting codes and modulation techniques. Also, we propose frequency management plan for terrestrial UHD broadcasting system in which we divide all parts of the country into 9 frequency zones and allocate 4 frequency band to each frequency zone considering single frequency network (SFN).

In this paper, we simulated disaster broadcast service using terrestrial UHD additional data. We looked at nine functions(warning alarm, location-based information, multilingual, re-viewing the title of breaking news, evacuation knack video, CCTV, clip video, wake up, automatic channel switching) by referring to ATSC 3.0 standards. Analyzing the advantages and problems of the proposed disaster broadcast. Expert interviews were conducted after a demonstration and explanation of terrestrial UHD disaster broadcast. They said that the problems with the technology were difficulty in using, obstruction of viewing, content creation problems, and problems with advertisers. In addition to the lack of simulation-based research, this research has provided an insight into the technology by showing it in a visible way. This helped shape the advantages and problems of technology.

Since DMB on-air was started, not high-qualified audio, video services but various service models have been required. This paper is about systems for one of these services, video associated data service. A terrestrial DMB system to make contents of video associated data services and transmit them on DMB channel is proposed in this paper. This system satisfies standard of the video associated data services for terrestrial DMB; MPEG-4 BIFS (BInary Format for Scene) Core2D scene description profile and graphics profile. This system is designed to support two major features of broadcasting, real-time authoring non automatic transmission and non real-time authoring automatic transmission, and focuses on the abilities to make high-qualified contents efficiently and transmit them to video encoder reliably. This system proved its performance through conformance tests with various receivers, so can be used in future on-air.

Since starting of terrestrial digital broadcasting in 2001, there has been discussion on introduction of multiple broadcasting services, one of advantages of digital broadcasting. In the mean time, task force on terrestrial multiple channel experimental broadcasting was formed with government organizations, broadcasting companies and household appliance companies in Oct. 2013, and terrestrial multiple channel experimental broadcasting was started between Jan. to April, 2014. Based on this experimental result, EBS started 2HD MMS experimental broadcasting first in Korea on Feb. 11, 2015. This study was carried out in consideration of operation of 2 HD channels in existing 6MHz bandwidth based on MPEG-2 codec with development of compression technology. A study on image quality optimization was carried out and applied to 2HD MMS experimental broadcasting through application experiment of variable bit rate and change according to 1080i and 720p scanning type.

Currently, The terrestrial MMS(Multi Mode Service) is considering to be adapted in the Korea. The objective and subjective video quality test was carried out to verify the current TV channel's video quality degradation by the MMS. In the objective assessment, MMS system showed better PSNR than current system. In the subjective assesment result, It's hard to find the perceive video quality degradation at overall assesment. Even though, The MMS's video quality will be improved at the documentary and entertainment genre. Comparing with the previous research at 2006 and 2008, It's the time to give the benefit of broadcasting technology to the people.
