The current study attempted to review the standards of retransmisison consent and arbitration for the terrestrial broadcasting signal. The standards are based upon the principles encouraged by the MIAC(Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications). It has been criticized that the standards of judgement for the retransimission consent and arbitration are ambiguous and arbitrary in Japan. In 2009, MIAC announced five decisions regarding the retransmission of over-the-air. The result of the current study found that the regulations of compulsory over-the-air signal retransmission have been sustained until now. The retransmission policy of the Japan government based upon three principles; localism, proper cause and copyright act. The judgment is dependent on the intrepretation of MIAC's standard about these three principles.

The contents provided by the terrestrial broadcasters have governed the market based on their excellent quality in Korea. In spite of the launching of various pay TV services focusing on multi-channel, it is not yet easy to find out the substitutionary pay TV channels for the terrestrial. Therefore, the real time retransmission of the terrestrial channels brings about the crucial effects on the pay TV's competency, especially on the new media as the invisible barrier. So it is frequently proposed to change the aim of the retransmission policy from the universal access to the promotion of media industries. The retransmission can be divided into two types as the must carry and retransmission consent. In Korean situation, keeping or reducing the must carry channel would be appropriate rather than expanding them. However, periodic investigation into the public effects of the must carry is necessary, instead of it. Moreover, the rational and fair monetary compensation for the commercial channels(MBC, SBS, KBS2) is arising as the bottle neck in the retransmission agreements between the broadcasters. The conjoint analysis was carried out to estimate the welfare growth from the retransmission, based on the stated preference from the audiences' point of view. For must carry channels, it was certified as the 'win-win' strategy for both sides and audiences. For the commercial channels, it is revealed to be beneficial to the audiences. Thereafter, the standards for the rational price were suggested to promote the retransmission. This can contribute for inspiring the dynamic vitality to the media industry by reinforcing the contents competencies and for establishing the long term growth strategies.

With the digital terrestrial television broadcasting transition, terrestrial television broadcasting have required the replacement of retransmission facilities for the analog broadcasting installed in the existing apartment, building, cable TV station, MATV system and so on. In addition, new standards have been enacted for retransmission of the digital television broadcasting in MATV system. To deal with this issue, in this paper, we propose a new 8-VSB remodulator that can retransmit signals of the terrestrial digital television broadcasting. Moreover, we present a standard and the process composition of the 8-VSB remodulator, and an experimental environment configuration for performance evaluation. To achieve this, we have implemented the 8-VSB remodulator with the sequential process components comprised of the RF signal retransmission, the TS stream modulator, the RF signal reception and demodulation. Through the simulation, we analyze the performance standard from the measured data such as spurious and phase noise. And then, we measure SNR and EVM of each attenuation step of the signal obtained by the signal processor and the 8-VSB remodulator with the same retransmission environment and conditions. Experimental results show that both the 8-VSB remodulator and the signal processor can be used as equipment for the retransmission of the terrestrial digital television broadcasting. In addition, the 8-VSB remodulator performed well to improve the transmission efficiency for the digital broadcasting signal, compare to the existing signal processor.

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.

Since T-DMB commercial services have been launched, various broadcasting services such as DMB2.0, which provides interactive data broadcasting services, have emerged. Due to activation of T-DMB services, the needs of the existing video contents as well as new data contents are increasing. Especially, video contents are frequently reused because of the production cost of digitalized contents. In order to solve the problem occurring in the contents reusing process, this paper proposes the method controlling transfer rate by defining a numerical formula and verifies it through simulation.

한국에서 세계 최초의 지상파 UHD 본방송이 시작되었다. 국내의 지상파 UHD 방송은 북미의 ATSC 3.0 기술 표준에 기반한 것으로, 방송 콘텐츠의 압축부터 신호를 송출하는 물리계층까지 완전히 다른 방식을 사용하고 있어 현재 사용하고 있는 디지털 방송 시스템을 이용한 방송 수신은 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 디지털 방송 장비를 새로운 방송환경에서도 계속 사용할 수 있도록 ATSC 3.0 기반 방송서비스를 기존 디지털 방송 방식으로 변환하여 재전송하는 방법에 대해 살펴보기로 한다.

본 논문의 목표는 지상파, 케이블 방송을 유무선 인터넷을 통해 개인에게 직접 재전송 해 주는 플랫폼을 개발하는 것이다. 최근의 IPTV가 방송과 통신분야에서 주목을 받고 있으나 아직 활성화 되지 않은 상태이고, 시청자들은 기존 지상파, 케이블 방송을 인터넷을 통해 시청하기를 원하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 요구를 충족시키고자 개인형 방송 유무선 전송 솔루션을 위한 플랫폼을 개발했다. 플랫폼은 MTPS CORE와 MPEG-4 Encoder를 사용하여 실시간으로 방송 컨텐츠를 인코딩하여 RTP, RTSP Protocol을 이용하여 유무선으로 전송하게 된다. 운영체제는 Linux 2.6이고 Streaming Server는 실시간으로 네트워크 상황을 인지하여 다이나믹하게 전송 레이트를 조절함으로써 QoS를 구현하고 있다.

최근 HD (High Definition) 또는 3D (Three Dimension) 이상의 고품질 방송 콘텐츠 수요가 증가하면서 디지털 방송 시스템은 실시간으로 실감형 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 발전 하였다. 특히, 세계 방송 비영리 협회 FoBTV (Future of Broadcast Television) 는 더 나아가 초 고해상도 UHD (Ultra High Definition) 급 이상의 영상을 제공하기 위해 지상파 방송과 유선 케이블 방송 시스템을 이용하여 고품질, 다시점 방송 서비스 뿐 아니라 낮은 전계 강도 환경에서 수신율을 높일 수 있는 기술방안을 논의하고 있다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 세계 방송 발전 흐름에 따라 지상파 및 케이블 방송 송수신 시스템을 구현하고 수신되는 영상의 품질을 평가하였다. 또한, 구현된 통합 시스템은 지상파로 수신되는 파일럿 신호의 크기를 분석하여 케이블로 재전송 되며 이를 통해 수신 성능의 품질을 향상시킨다.

디지털 방송기술의 비약적인 발전으로 기존 HD(High Definition) 화질의 4~16배까지 지원 가능한 UHD(Ultra High Definition) 방송 서비스가 제공되는 새로운 시대를 맞이하게 되었다. UHD 방송은 초고선명 비디오와 22.2 채널 오디오 서비스가 가능한 차세대 실감방송 기술이다. 이러한 UHD 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 고압축 영상 코덱 기술인 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding), OFDM(Othogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 기반 대용량 전송기술과 다양한 멀티미디어 부가서비스 가능한 전송 프로토콜이 필수적으로 요구된다. 최근 UHD 방송 전송 프로토콜로 표준화 추진 중인 MMT(MPEG Media Transport)는 이기종망에서 적용할 수 있으며, 양방향 전환이 가능하여 시청자의 요구사항을 실시간으로 반영할 수 있다는 장점을 지닌다. 한편, 지상파 UHD 방송 서비스를 빠르고 효과적으로 수신하기 위해 필요한 정보인 NIT(Network Information Table), RRT(Rating Region Table) 및 SDT(Service Description Table)가 MMT 시그널링 프로토콜에서는 포함되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지상파 UHD 방송 서비스의 효과적 수신이 가능한 MMT 기반 지상파 UHD 방송을 위해 NIT, RRT 및 SDT 정보가 포함된 서비스 시그널링 구조을 제안한다.

In accordance with the digital broadcast data converted, the number of the service provider, and content channel for interaction with the viewer has increased exponentially. Electronic program guide in such a multi-channel time(Electronic Program Guide, EPG) is an essential requirement, and also from day to day EPG generation technique according to the user's requirements. But the current situation is getting EPG to viewers outside for reasons such as absence, lack of accurate information, organizing techniques utilized lack of standard systems. In this article, we describe the State and EPG solution to the problem of these terrestrial stations. This, the EPG information and the actual broadcast time of the terrestrial channel 6 using a ground wave receiving method for a direct comparison was studied the problems and the average error of the current start. Also this research perform to enhance accuracy of EPG information.
