This paper presents several techniques for broadcasting multimedia data (audio and video) over the Internet. Internet broadcasting (also called webcasting) techniques have become very important in applications such as Internet (or Web) radio and television, realtime broadcasting of critical data (such as stock prices), distance learning, videoconferencing, and many others. We describe the curre...

This article describes a simulation model of a national network of television broadcasting stations. The performance of a station depends on its sitting and its antenna, on its radiated power and frequency, and on surrounding terrain and electromagnetic environment. All these factors can be analysed using the simulation model. Simulation can help in the maintenance of the existing television st...

The growing availability of access to the Internet has changed – and is still changing – the technical, economic and regulatory conditions under which broadcasting is taking place. This is in particular an issue for terrestrial broadcasting, as mobile services try to gain access to spectrum once exclusively used by terrestrial broadcasting networks.
