  1. DVB-SH System for Broadcasting to Handheld Devices Guided by Dr. K.R. Rao Irfan Kerawalla irfan.kerawalla@mavs.uta.edu

  2. Introduction • Mobile TV is expected to become one of the largest markets for mass media. • Growing number of mobile phone users around the globe has triggered excessive demand for multimedia content. • People are constantly on the move and want all the latest updates ranging from news to social life on their fingertips. • Users want high quality multimedia content delivered at fast speed.

  3. What is DVB-SH? • DVB-SH (Digital Video Broadcast - Satellite Services to Handheld Devices) is the name of a transmission system standard designed to deliver video, audio and data services to vehicles and handheld devices • It is designed to use frequencies below 3GHz, typically around 2.2GHz. • The system and waveform specifications have been published as ETSI standards. (TS 102 584, TS 102 585 and EN 302 583). [1]

  4. Applications of DVB-SH • Broadcasting of radio and TV content. • Broadcasting of audio or video content customized for mobile TV (e.g. virtual TV channels, podcasts,). • Data delivery (“push”), e.g. for ring tones, logos. • Video-on-demand services. • Informative services (e.g. news) including location-based services. • Interactive services via an external communications channel e.g. Universal Mobile Telecommunications System(UMTS).

  5. System Architecture of DVB-SH

  6. Time Slicing • The objective of time-slicing is to reduce the average power consumption of the terminal and enable smooth and seamless service handover. [8] • Time-slicing enables a receiver to stay active only a fraction of the time, while receiving bursts of a requested service. • Time-slicing also supports the possibility to use the receiver to monitor neighboring cells during the off-times. • By accomplishing the switching of the reception from one transport stream to another during an off period it is possible to accomplish a handover decision.

  7. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) • It is a frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) scheme used as a digital multi-carrier modulation method. • OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) [8] is the natural choice for terrestrial modulation and is the basis of both the DVB-H and DVB-T systems. DVB-SH introduces a second scheme, a time division multiplex (TDM), leading to two reference architectures termed SH-A and SH-B: [8] • • SH-A uses OFDM both on the satellite and the terrestrial link • • SH-B uses TDM on the satellite link and OFDM for the terrestrial link.

  8. Compression in DVB-SH • DVB-SH uses H.264/AVC compression standard.

  9. Band used for DVB-SH transmission Figure 4: S-Band used in DVB-SH transmission [7] DVB-SH seeks to exploit the less congested, higher frequency, S-band where there are opportunities for mobile satellite services (MSS) systems, operating in conjunction with complementary ground components (CGC).

  14. DVB-SH systems in the United States • The telecom operator AT&T has agreed to buy spectrum in the lower 700 MHz frequency band licensed by Qualcomm. [12] • Alcatel Lucent has hosted successful trials of DVB-SH systems across the United States. [12] • ICO Global Communications has successfully launched a satellite named ICO G1 specifically for mobile television. [12]
