This paper presents a compatibility study between future digital television (DTV) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) in the UHF band using Nigeria as a case study. This is done by carrying out an adjacent interference analysis to evaluate the impact of LTE base station on DVB-T2 reception using SEAMCAT software. Results obtained from simulations suggest that deploying LTE in an adjacent band would r...

This article presents an analysis of the key technology improvements of the second generation of Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial (DVB-T2) over its first generation (DVB-T) and an estimation method of the new technology influence on the broadcasting business case used in digital terrestrial networks. This article addresses the current challenges in broadcasting wireless network design and...

Typical architectures for digital video broadcastingterrestrial (DVB-T) modulators are based on task-specific hardware to adapt the baseband audio/video signal to the radio frequency terrestrial channel. This paper describes the architecture of a fully-software, real-time modulator for DVB-T signals named Soft-DVB, which makes use of a software section developed from scratch by the authors and ...

Mobile broadcast services have experienced a strong boost in recent years through the standardization of several mobile broadcast systems such as DVB-H, ATSC-M/H, DMB-T/H, and CMMB. However, steady need for higher quality services is projected to surpass the capabilities of the existing mobile broadcast systems. Consequently, work on new generations of mobile broadcast technology is starting un...

Planning for Multi-Frequency Network (MFN) with Digital Video Broadcasting-Second Generation Terrestrial (DVB-T2) services is particularly useful during the transition from analog to digital broadcasting. For efficient management of service area as well resource allocation, it necessary administer use network parameters, e.g., transmit power, frequency channels, and antenna parameters. This art...

From the point of technical innovations the development and standardization of Digital Video Broadcasting 2 nd Generation Terrestrial (DVB-T2) and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) systems are definitely the most significant results in the last decade. These systems have a very high potential to fulfill the highest user requirements, but they can operate in the same frequency spectrum. As a result, dif...
