A Study on the Partial Reception for the Proposed Specification of the Next Generation Terrestrial Broadcasting

Abstract

Toward the advancement of broadcasting services, the authors are conducting research on the next generation terrestrial broadcasting. The proposed specification is incorporated the new signal structure and the latest technologies in order to get spectrum utilization efficiency higher than ISDB-T. Furthermore, the proposed specification has been designed based on segmented OFDM to transmit the signal for both a fixed reception service and a mobile reception service. This system is able to provide mobile reception service by partial reception such as one-segment service of ISDB-T. This paper describes the evaluation results of partial reception performance of the proposed specification.
