Extension Strategy for Terrestrial DTV-Internet Hybrid Services Standard

An architecture for IN-internet hybrid services

The scenario for telecom services is undergoing a rapid change. A new set of communication services is emerging: due to the explosion of the Internet and to the dramatic increase of mobile phone markets, more and more customers are requiring new Internet-based communication services. The ability to merge the ubiquitous telephone service (terminal and personal mobility) and the friendliness (eas...

Automatic Navigation Among Mobile DTV Services

Limited number of input buttons on a mobile device, such as mobile phones and PDAs, restricts people’s access to digital broadcast services. In this paper, we present a reinforcement learning approach to automatically navigating among services in mobile digital television systems. Our approach uses standard Q-learning algorithm as a theory basis to predict next button for the user by learning u...

Integration of Internet and telecommunications: an architecture for hybrid services

In this article, we propose an architecture for hybrid services, i.e., services that span many network technologies, such as the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), cellular networks and networks based on the Internet Protocol (IP). These services will play an important role in the future because they leverage on the existing infrastructures, rather than requiring new and sophisticated me...

Low-Power Fully Integrated CMOS DTV Tuner Front-End for ATSC Terrestrial Broadcasting

A low-cost low-power DTV tuner for current digital television application is described. In order to increase integration level and reduce power consumption for off-air DTV tuner application, an SAW-filterless tuner front-end architecture is adopted. As a part of the concept, key building blocks for this architecture are implemented on a main stream 0.35 μm CMOS technology. Experimental measurem...
