Development of ATSC-MH receiver for mobile digital TV services

ATSC-MH is an emerging standard for mobile digital TV services in the U.S. From broadcaster´s point of view, core competitive advantages that broadcasters have relative to the other technologies for enabling mobile broadcast TV services include substantially lower capital requirements, as well as low cost and routine access to broadcast content. From customer´s point of view, on the other hand, they can enjoy information rich services in mobile environment because ATSC-MH incorporates various technologies that have proven successful in other mobile broadcast TV standards. In this paper, therefore, we introduce an implementation of ATSC-MH receiver, especially for mobile handsets. The proposed solution is in full support of the ATSC-MH signaling system that uses OMA-BCAST SG in combination with the signaling information embedded in the ATSC-MH transport streams.
