Research on Networking Technology of Digital Terrestrial Television Single Frequency Network

The transition from analogue to digital television promises an enormous digital dividend that can translate to spectrum resource provision for other services. In this work, the size of the spectrum that can be released as dividend after digital switchover in some selected States of Nigeria is estimated. First, the present analogue television (ATV) network coverage is compared with predicted digital terrestrial television (DTTV) network coverage during a simulcast period, and after ATV switch-off. The predicted DTTV network is initially planned with a multi-frequency network (MFN) and analysis showed that DTTV had a 12.5% improvement in spectrum utilization compared to ATV while achieving a better coverage probability of 95.3%. This work predicted further spectrum savings with the use of a single-frequency network (SFN) design for DTTV network planning. The analysis done showed that 87.5% of the ATV spectrum could be saved for other services after the transition to DTTV using SFN. Keywords: Digital television, SFN, MFN, Spectrum, dividend

Continuous monitoring of the status of the television network is necessary to ensure uninterrupted and high-quality broadcasting of digital air television signals. This report considers the method of measuring the single-frequency network of standard DVB-T2, presents the results of theoretical calculation of the coverage area of several single transmitting stations of digital air television of Leningrad region and shows the results of practical measurements of the total coverage area of DT-TV stations, as well as recommendations on the selection of the location of the control equipment.

Global And Local

Digital multimedia broadcasting is a technology for transmitting multimedia signals to devices like mobile phones, PC, laptops, etc. This allows everyone to watch TV on mobile devices. With the fifth-generation network, one can download a movie in a few seconds. Mobile TV offers round-the-clock participation in communication and broadcasting around the globe. This has become possible by watching a live TV program on handheld devices, as it facilitates real-time updates. Digital terrestrial television broadcasting aimed at transmitting two types of information: global and local content. The global content aims at broadcasting over the entire network, and the local content is location specific. Broadcasting the local content using multiple transmitters at different frequencies in multifrequency network requires additional spectrum. Global content can be transmitted through single frequency network. Therefore, if both global and local information are transmitted in a single frequency network (SFN), the system will become highly spectrally efficient and cost-effective.
