Recently, the direct terrestrial broadcasting reception has been reduced rapidly and not been improved even in digital broadcast environment. The distribution plan of 700MHz frequency band(Ch.52~69) will make the problem worse because the spectrum might be allocated to mobile communication use. In this paper, we investigated the efficient frequency usage for DTV signal reception improvement and next generation broadcasting. The frequency amount required for reception improvement and for next generation broadcasting service is presented. We estimated the beneficial effect when the spectrum(108MHz Frequency Width) is used for SFN transmission technology, UHDTV and Full-HD 3DTV.

This study investigates the users' preference of frequency reallocation and frequency auction after digital transition of terrestrial broadcasting and it focuses on the relationships between media using pattern, reception environment of broadcasting telecommunication, and expectation for the universal service and requirement for the public interest. The results show that the longer DMB viewing hours, people prefer to frequency allocation for the telecommunication side. The technical aspects such as perception on the reception environment of broadcasting don't make effect on the users' preference of frequency allocation. In addition, the more people think the universal service of terrestrial broadcasting important, the more people think it unnecessary to adopt auction system to the broadcasting frequency. These results give implication that it is the most basic condition to improve the reception environment in order to accomplish universal service duty of terrestrial broadcasting.

Current terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) is conducting the emergency alert broadcast, or can view a variety of broadcasting. However, propagation shadow area is a situation where the service is limited due to limitations of facilities investment. In addition, there is the problem of T-DMB broadcasting is for viewing only a restricted area and a mobile device because the mobile is also T-DMB viewing device impossible. In this paper, it receives a T-DMB broadcasting as a way to solve the problems of the T-DMB system, which was studied the re transmission to the mobile device. Accordingly, by receiving the broadcast may be watched in the mobile device the T-DMB reception impossible. Also provides a one-way/two-way authentication mechanism using a conditional access function, and the system was configured so that the user can watch only the registered broadcasting.

In this paper, we propose an emergency wake-up alert system (EWAS) for providing accurate and rapid emergency information. The proposed system can provide an emergency wake-up alert service without an additional frequency allotment by utilizing the guard band of the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) Terrestrial Digital Television (DTV) system. The design target of the proposed system is to match the indoor reception coverage of EWAS with the outdoor reception coverage of the ATSC DTV system. To achieve this, the proposed system should be about 35.65 dB more robust than the ATSC DTV system. The simulation results show that the proposed system offers an emergency wake-up alert service supporting a data rate of up to 23 bps.

The terrestrial DMB receivers and their application products need many tests such as normal reception, reception state for the noisy environment, reception state changes due to the changes of output power of the DMB signal, and reception state of various environment. Therefore, the real-time simulation system of the terrestrial DMB broadcasting system is a necessity to the terrestrial DMB research institutions. manufacturers, and other related organizations. In the paper, we design the DMB simulation system, which generates the real-time streams of terrestrial DMB broadcast signals and simulates the real DMB broadcasting signals. The system consists of T-DMB signal generator with PCI interface and simulation software for various functional components of program. The study reveals that the implementation of software-based T-DMB simulation system is possible with low cost. Through various experiments, we evaluate the performance of the simulation system, and we provide the future directions of research.

The RF Module which can be adjusted for a digital terrestrial and multi standard(DVB-C, ISDB-T, DVB-H) reception is developed. The Module by single conversion does divide a broadband(45MHz~860MHz) broadcasting channels into three-bands(UHF, VHF_HIGH, VHF_LOW) to satisfy some electrical performances such as image signal rejection, phase noise, IF flatness etc and digital reception specifications such as analog and digital adjacent channel protection, co-channel protection which is important in environment with co-existence both analog and digital broadcasting systems.

In this paper, the reception performance of spatial modulation multiple-output multiple-input (MIMO) is analyzed for high speed terrestrial broadcasting. The MIMO scheme is required to reduce the inter symbol interference (ISI) and spatial correlation. The spatial modulation scheme solves the problem of ISI, but the spatial correlation degrades the reception performance of SM scheme. The space-time block coded spatial modulation (STBC-SM) is combined the SM system with space-time block code (STBC) for reducing the effects of the spatial correlation. However, the STBC-SM scheme degrades the spectral efficiency by transmitting same data in the two symbol period. The double space-time transmit diversity with spatial modulation (DSTTD-SM) scheme transmits the data with full antenna combination. To adapt these SM MIMO systems into the terrestrial broadcasting system, the reception performance is analyzed using computer simulation in SUI channel environments.

This paper presents and analyzes field test results of E-VSB(Enhanced-VSB) system proposed by Zenith/ATl and adopted ATSC standard. In the field test, according to types of antennas we measured reception possibility, noise margin, ease of reception to analyze performance improvement of E-VSB system at each outdoor/indoor test point. Also, we verify a backward compatibility between E-VSB and conventional 8-VSB system and check selection of test point, and configuration of transmitter and test vehicle. By the field test results, E-VSB system did not only outperform over 8-VSB system at severe multipath environment such as indoor reception, but also verified backward compatibility with it.

Ad-hoc networks do not rely on a preexisting infrastructure such as Access Points(AP) in wireless network infrastructure. Instead each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes. It makes required broadcasting to transmit packets to the whole network. In that part, each node tries to transmit data without any information about the other nodes. Therefore it causes duplication of transmission and waste of power. This paper presents adaptive probabilistic broadcasting schemes based on packet reception counts to alleviate the broadcast storm problem for wireless ad hoc networks. In this algorithm, each node calculates efficiency broadcast probability. Simulation results for the proposed flood algorithm are also presented.
