Next Generation Mobile Broadcasting (Hardcover)

Next Generation Mobile Broadcasting provides an overview of the past, present, and future of mobile multimedia broadcasting. The first part of the book—Mobile Broadcasting Worldwide—summarizes next-generation mobile broadcasting technologies currently available. This part covers the evolutions of the Japanese mobile broadcasting standard ISDB-T One-Seg, ISDB-Tmm and ISDB-TSB; the evolution of the South Korean T-DMB mobile broadcasting technology AT-DMB; the American mobile broadcasting standard ATSC-M/H; the Chinese broadcasting technologies DTMB and CMMB; second-generation digital terrestrial TV European standard DVB-T2 and its mobile profile T2-Lite; and the multicast/broadcast extension of 4G LTE cellular standard E-MBMS.

This part includes a chapter about a common broadcast specification of state-of-the-art 3GPP and DVB standards to provide a broadcast overlay optimized for mobile and operated in conjunction with a broadband unicast access. It also contains an overview chapter on a new High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard that is expected to provide significantly improved coding efficiency compared to current MPEG-4 AVC video coding.

The second part of the book—Next-Generation Handheld DVB Technology: DVB-NGH —describes the latest mobile broadcast technology known as Digital Video Broadcasting-Next-Generation Handheld (DVB-NGH), which is expected to significantly outperform all existing technologies in both capacity and coverage. DVB-NGH introduces new technological solutions that along with the high performance of DVB-T2 make DVB-NGH a powerful next-generation mobile multimedia broadcasting technology.

In fact, DVB-NGH can be regarded as the first 3G broadcasting system because it allows for the possibility of using multiple input multiple output MIMO antenna schemes to overcome the Shannon limit of single antenna wireless communications. DVB-NGH also allows the deployment of an optional satellite component forming a hybrid terrestrial-satellite network topology to improve coverage in rural areas where the installation of terrestrial networks is economically unfeasible. Although the commercial deployment of DVB-NGH is nowadays unclear after its standardization, it will be a reference point for future generations of digital terrestrial television technologies.

Edited by a member of the DVB-NGH standardization group, the book includes contributions from a number of standardization groups worldwide—including Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) in Europe; Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) in the US, Korea, Japan, and China; Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP); and the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG).

《下一代行動廣播》提供了對行動多媒體廣播的過去、現在和未來的概述。本書的第一部分《全球行動廣播》總結了目前可用的下一代行動廣播技術。本部分涵蓋了日本行動廣播標準ISDB-T One-Seg、ISDB-Tmm和ISDB-TSB的演進；韓國T-DMB行動廣播技術AT-DMB的演進；美國行動廣播標準ATSC-M/H；中國的廣播技術DTMB和CMMB；第二代數字地面電視歐洲標準DVB-T2及其移動配置T2-Lite；以及4G LTE蜂窩標準E-MBMS的多播/廣播擴展。

本部分還包括一章關於3GPP和DVB標準的共同廣播規範，以提供為移動優化的廣播覆蓋，並與寬帶單播訪問一起運營。它還包含一個關於新的高效視頻編碼（HEVC）標準的概述章節，預計與當前的MPEG-4 AVC視頻編碼相比，它將提供顯著改善的編碼效率。

本書的第二部分《下一代手持式DVB技術：DVB-NGH》描述了最新的移動廣播技術，即數字視頻廣播-下一代手持式（DVB-NGH），預計在容量和覆蓋範圍方面都能顯著超越所有現有技術。DVB-NGH引入了新的技術解決方案，與DVB-T2的高性能相結合，使DVB-NGH成為一種強大的下一代移動多媒體廣播技術。

事實上，DVB-NGH可以被視為第一個3G廣播系統，因為它允許使用多輸入多輸出（MIMO）天線方案來克服單天線無線通信的香農極限。DVB-NGH還允許部署可選的衛星組件，形成混合地面-衛星網絡拓撲，以改善在安裝地面網絡在經濟上不可行的鄉村地區的覆蓋範圍。儘管DVB-NGH的商業部署在目前尚不明確，但它將成為未來數字地面電視技術的參考點。

本書由DVB-NGH標準化組的成員編輯，並包含來自世界各地的多個標準化組織的貢獻，包括歐洲的數字視頻廣播（DVB）；美國、韓國、日本和中國的高級電視系統委員會（ATSC）；第三代合作夥伴項目（3GPP）；以及移動圖像專家組（MPEG）。
