Broadcasting for mobile receivers Geneva, 13-16 July 2009
Highlight of Current Activities (1) to slide 8,9 • Digital Terrestrial TV service in Japan • On December 1, 2003, Japan launched Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting (DTTB) using the Integrated Service Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial (ISDB-T) transmission system. • ISDB-T is recommended in Rec. ITU-R BT.1306. • ISDB-T is robust transmission system because it uses OFDM and time interleaving. • One-Seg • One-segment services for mobile receivers (called “One-Seg”) can be provided simultaneously with one 6MHz TV channel, in addition to HDTV (or multi-channel SDTV). • On April 1, 2006, One-Seg services began in Japan. • More than 55 million One-Seg receivers have been shipped so far. • Various kinds of One-Seg receivers are available on the market. • One-Seg is provided free of charge. Geneva, 13-16 July 2009
Highlight of Current Activities (2) to slide 10,11 • BST-OFDM technology • NHK developed the Band Segmented Transmission OFDM (BST-OFDM) technology for ISDB-T in 1996. • ISDB-T consists of 13 OFDM segments. • The system supports hierarchical transmissions of up to three layers, and parameters can be changed in each layers. • Typically we use two layers. One is a layer for HDTV with 12 segments using 64QAM, and the other is a layer for One-Seg with 1 segment using QPSK. • Example of Information bit rate is 16.851Mbps (for HDTV) and 416kbps (for One-Seg). • Features of One-Seg • Not only video & audio, but data, closed caption, and Electric Program Guide (EPG) are transmitted in One-Seg. • One-Seg is a new medium that realizes the convergence of broadcasting & communications on the mobile terminal. Geneva, 13-16 July 2009
Strategic Direction to slide 12,13 • Termination of Analog TV services • Plans call for digital terrestrial broadcasting to reach all homes in Japan by July 2011. • By July 2011, both analog terrestrial and satellite broadcasting are scheduled to be terminated. • At this point, Japan will have completed the transition to all-digital TV broadcasting. • Digital Radio • Digital terrestrial radio (DR) test transmission started in October 2003. • Programs are transmitted by the Digital Radio Promotion Association (DRP), a licensed broadcasting corporation run jointly by NHK and several commercial radio stations or other companies. • DR uses a vacant VHF TV channel (CH-7) for the test transmission. • ISDB-TSB (Sound Broadcasting) transmission system is adopted for DR. Geneva, 13-16 July 2009
Challenges • Recent topics in One-Seg • Independent program service It is possible to broadcast independent program (non-simultaneous program to 12 segments) service in One-Seg from April 2008 by legal changes. NTV started to broadcast independent One-Seg test service for sports programs. NHK started independent One-Seg service using educational channel in April 2009. • Multi-channel service It is possible to send up to 3 programs in One-Seg. TOKYO MX started 2 programs One-Seg service when they broadcast multi-channel service in June 2008. • Research & Development in One-Seg • NHK has been developing Connected One-Seg Re-transmission System. • NHK has been developing automatic activation of One-Seg receivers by the EWS (Emergency Warning broadcast System) . (See slide 17, 18) Geneva, 13-16 July 2009
Next Steps/Actions to slide 14,15 • VHF/UHF rearrangement after analog TV termination • Frequency bandwidth for terrestrial television will be reduced from 370MHz to 240MHz. • VHF Low (18MHz) & VHF High (14.5MHz) will be allocated for non-TV broadcasting services. (e.g., Mobile Multimedia broadcasting) • Mobile Multimedia broadcasting • There’s a chance to start new multimedia broadcasting services for mobile receivers with VHF Low & VHF High. • VHF Low will be used for Digital Radio broadcasting for local block area and Digital community broadcasting for small area. • ISDB-TSB is now under consideration for new services. • VHF High will be used for a new nationwide area multimedia service. And ISDB-Tmm(Mobile Multimedia) is now under development for it’s services. • One-Seg, ISDB-TSB, and ISDB-Tmm are all ISDB-T family that introduce the BST-OFDM technology. • It is necessary to fix the organizations that will provide new services by the middle of 2010 to start broadcasting after July 2011. • ARIB is now preparing for the new services for multimedia broadcasting.

Rearrangement of VHF/UHF- VHF/UHF rearrangement after analog TV termination - to slide 6 ・The Telecommunication Council is examining the technical condition of multimedia broadcasting that will use VHF Low & High. ・ VHF Low will be used for Digital Radio broadcasting for local block area and Digital community broadcasting for small area. ・ VHF High will be used for nationwide area. ・ In February, 2008, 17 companies or corporations (NHK, TOKYO FM, TBS R & C, FM OSAKA, FM802, Nippon Broadcasting System, etc) established the organization "VL-P ". (More than 110 organizations join "VL-P " now.) ・ "VL-P " aims at drafting of ARIB Technical report and clarification of service image. ・The difference of Digital Radio (which is now broadcasted as a test) and Digital Radio (which will be broadcasted) is as follows. 30fps Video (QVGA, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) 5.1 surround Audio Multi-channel programs Contents download, etc ・There is a subject to clear sharing condition with Analog FM Radio (76-90MHz). ・ It is necessary to fix the organizations that will provide new services by the middle of 2010 to start broadcasting after July 2011.

Connected One-Seg Re-transmission System- Research & Development in One-Seg - ・NHK developed a "connected One-Seg re-transmission system" that extracts One-Seg signals from the digital terrestrial broadcast-waves received from individual broadcasters and combines them into a single signal for re-transmission over a channel that is different from any of the receiving channels. ・A maximum of thirteen One-Seg signals can be re-transmitted. It will be possible to offer community broadcasting localized to a particular area for re-transmission, in addition to One-Seg services from every broadcaster. ch1 ch2 ch3 ch4 ch5 ch6 ch7 ch8 ISDB-T Air Frequency Combines only One-Seg signals aboveground underground Connected One-Seg re-transmission system Community One-Seg signals ch9-13 Re-transmission 6MHz ch6 ch8 ch9 ch10 ch11 ch12 ch13 ch5 ch3 ch4 ch7 ch1 ch2 Frequency Geneva, 13-16 July 2009
Automatic Activation of Receivers by EWS-Research & Development in One-Seg - ・The EWS (Emergency Warning broadcast System) automatically activates receivers when a disaster happens, such as an earthquake or Tsunami. ・NHK developed EWS compatible adaptor that can be connected to a One-Seg receiver. ・The low power consumption achieved by performing intermittent reception of the One-Seg activation flag, which is transmitted approximately every 0.2 seconds, showed the prospect of continuous standby operation for about two weeks without recharging. ・Among the 432 carriers used for One-Seg service, four carriers transmit the activation flag for emergency warning broadcasting. Increasing this to all four carriers, from the previously used two carriers that transmitted the activation flag signal, improved reception sensitivity without increasing power consumption. ・NHK will work toward the actual implementation of One-Seg and radio receiver with the EWS reception function.
