In-Band On-Channel (IBOC) as an AM&FM digital broadcasting technology is used in HD Radio standard. In Hybrid of HD Radio, the spectra of analog FM signal and digital signal are combined in a fixed way, without taking full advantage of spectra. To solve this problem, this paper presents a Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) method, using the idle spectrum on time dimension. And the improved method brings in a Perceptual Evaluation of Audio Quality (PEAQ) module based on the ear perception as the evaluation criterion to measure audio quality. The simulation results show that on the basis of insuring audio quality, this method can save a lot of spectral bandwidth to improve the available spectrum resources.

In HD Radio (Hybrid Digital Radio), the spectra of analog FM and digital signal are combined in a fixed way. However, the bandwidth of FM varies dynamically, which result in the insufficient utilization of spectrum in HD Radio. This paper analyzes the effect of different parameters on dynamic spectrum access scheme in HD Radio. The scheme extends the digital spectrum after detecting the spare spectrum of analog signal. Moreover, the analog signal is maintained a stable quality grade by employing an evaluation measurePEAQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Audio Quality). Simulation results of four programs show that the saved bandwidth of the scheme will achieve average 15 kHz with 42.7 (ms) of frames and dynamic digital spectrum.
