Abstract

DVB-H networks allow high data rate broadcast access for hand-held terminals. A new method to determine the range corresponding with good reception in such a DVB-H network will be investigated in this paper. To this end, a subjective criterion is proposed, based on the viewing experience of the users. This criterion is related to the percentage valid reception. Also, a comparison with existing criteria is made. The ranges are determined for mobile reception inside a car. The influence of the modulation scheme on the range will be investigated.
