Abstract

The correct estimation of the DVB-H (digital video broadcasting, handheld) coverage area is essential part in the pre-planning of the network. In addition to the coverage and respective capacity planning, the in-depth work also requires an estimation of the quality of service levels, which depends mainly on the radio related parameters. This paper presents a simulation method in order to predict the interference caused by the single frequency network (SFN) mode of DVB-H in dense urban area type. Mexico City was used as a basis for the investigations and case results.
