However, broadcasting is still an area where convergence of technologies has not yet been exploited with the same success as in other areas. This is probably so because open and low cost systems based on generic standards have not yet been widely adopted, especially in those critical areas where high quality and high availability requirements justify the use of proprietary solutions offered by ...

In this paper we propose a new service platform for the distribution of location and time-sensitive data that augments and enhances real-time experience of the city using mobile digital TV broadcasting technology. The limitation of the unidirectional communication is alleviated by the proposal of introducing context-based filters-applied locally-that allow for automatically selecting the most r...

The low-cost in-home distribution of full-standard digital TV jointly with high-bitrate data using 50 m long 1 mm core diameter graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI-POF) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Discrete multitone (DMT) modulation is demonstrated to provide an adaptive bitrate which can spectrally coexist with digital video broadcasting-terrestrial (DVB-T) signals in 470-8...

Broadcast-based information dissemination systems on the Internet are becoming increasingly popular due to advances in the area of Web technology and information delivery. In this paper, we propose a concept and a way to construct a virtual TV channel, which is a user-deened (virtual) channel from existing push-based Internet channels. Our virtual TV channel is (1) to lter contents of multiple ...

This paper is concerned with the performance evaluation for the diversity decoding scheme in which space diversity technique and iterative decoding for non systematic convolutional error-correcting code are effectively combined. The concept of the diversity decoding is applied to an OFDM system (e.g. the digital terrestrial TV broadcasting system). This paper shows the performance evaluation fo...

In this paper, we propose an experimental platform for the design of interactive TV. On this platform, designers are allowed to emulate broadcasting programs, define control functions, collect user interaction data, and incorporate external application systems. We also use several examples to demonstrate that through this platform one can easily add new functions and set up psychological experi...

In the world of media and communication, producers content are major contributors who create issues for an audience to think about. This is not randomly created, but rather created based on certain agendas. paper analyzes Alhijrah channel, a Malaysian Islamic TV. The objective this study discover prioritized broadcast by TV that contributes shaping perception Islam among viewers. To achieve obj...

With the success of XM and Sirius Satellite Radio in the US, and the increasing interest in mobile TV services in the wake of successful trials by European mobile operators, new systems are now being proposed for satellite radio and multimedia broadcasting in Europe. Worldspace has now received authorization from the FCC for launch of their new Afristar 2 GEO satellite to provide services in We...

The increasing use of compression standards in broadcasting digital TV has raised the need for established criteria to measure perceived quality. This paper presents a methodology using Circular Back-Propagation (CBP) neural networks for the objective quality assessment of MPEG video streams. Objective features are continuously extracted from compressed video streams on a frame-byframe basis; t...

This paper describes the design of H and T-Slotted Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antennas (RMPA) which resonates at a frequency of fo = 2. 4 GHz. The FR4 glass Epoxy with relative permittivity 4. 4 and height 1. 6 mm is used as substrate material. Antenna is fed by coaxial probe feed and simulated using HFSS. This antenna used to various wireless applications such as WiMAX, Wi-Fi, and Digital Mu...
