KNK Seminars cordially invites you to attend our detailed two-day technical Mobile DTV Systems seminar. This seminar provides comprehensive descriptions and in-depth analysis of the standards, the technologies, the methodologies and design issues enabling mobile television systems and services.

DVB-H and ATSC M/H (ATSC Mobile Television) systems over terrestrial over-the-air (OTA) broadcast networks which provide mobile television services are featured and detailed. Satellite networks transmitting directly to handheld devices or hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks are also covered. 3G cellular networks are explored as facilitators of backchannel and interactive feature sets as well as 3G cellular networks with multimedia streaming enhancements. The future roles of 4G broadband wireless networks are also addressed.

You will master innovative engineering solutions by understanding the mobile requirements and the resulting architectural specifications driven by smaller screen sizes, ability to deliver more video services over limited and dynamic wireless network bandwidths, low power requirements, specialized error correction and multiplexing techniques for mobile networks, fast channel change and interactive feature sets, content and service protection and security. To meet the challenges of the mobile television environment, innovative advanced enhancements on existing terrestrial broadcast and cellular systems have been made while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy services.

The specific drivers and the resulting technology solutions and applications addressing these mobile requirements are clearly defined and tradeoff considerations are analyzed for the various mobile television systems where the services are carried in the existing DTV broadcast channels – in-band and on-channel – and in the cellular network structures.

Technologies, implementations and applications addressed for mobile television systems include:

Mobile television standards, scope, features, key technologies, protocol stacks and comparative analyses are addressed for ATSC M/H, DVB-H, DMB-T, ISDB-T, DAB-IP and MediaFLO for terrestrial broadcast networks, 3GPP and 3GPP2 for cellular networks, DVB-SH, DMB-S, ISDB-S and STiMi for satellite delivery for mobile applications, 4G broadband wireless networks and services such as WiMax and 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE).

Specifically, ATSC M/H (ATSC Mobile DTV), DVB-H, 3G-based mobile TV and OMA BCAST systems, protocol stacks, technologies, services, receivers and enablers for end-to-end systems will be featured throughout the seminar providing key training in all aspects of mobile TV systems.


Mobile television system architectures, technologies, characteristics, parameter set bounds, design details and tradeoffs and performance for broadcast head ends through delivery platforms and playback devices will be detailed.
