Design and implementation of EPG (Electronic Program Guide) service platform in T-DMB

In this paper, we present an EPG (electronic program guide) service platform in T-DMB, which provides the detailed information regarding available service and program to the userpsilas terminal. The proposed EPG service platform is designed by using SI (service information) API included in the T-DMB middleware so that it can handle one or two kinds of data from either basic service information or standardized XML EPG. In other word, the proposed platform can provides the EPG services even in case where minimum information is delivered. Finally, the performance of the implement EPG service is confirmed through implementation of an application on the T-DMB service platform.
