Simulation of DVB-H transmission in Gaussian and fading channels

This paper deals with the simulation of the transmission of the DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting to Handhelds) standard in different transmission channel conditions. The results of the DVB-H broadcasting over Gaussian channel, Ricean and Rayleigh fading channels are presented. Application for this simulation was developed in Matlab. Resources for the simulation, transmission and signal processing are included in Matlab in Communication Toolbox functions. Dependences of BER on C/N ratio before and after Viterbi decoding in all tested channel conditions were obtained and compared. Finally, obtained results are evaluated and discussed.
