In this paper, a fast and reliable emergency broadcasting system for Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC) Mobile DTV is proposed. The proposed protocol is based on the Emergency Alert Message (EAM) standard currently used for cable TV emergency broadcasting in the United States. The protocol is implemented and evaluated to enable fast emergency information propagation. ATSC Mobile DTV enables digital mobile broadcasting without affecting the existing ATSC legacy digital TV system. Since ATSC Mobile DTV devices are mobile and self-powered, they can effectively propagate emergency information. The proposed emergency broadcasting protocol can be applied in all countries adopting the ATSC standard.

In this paper, we describe a method which reuses DVB EPG informations for the generation of ATSC EPG. For the efficient reuse, we analyze the differences and similarities of ATSC and DVB EPG informations, classify the informations reusable and convert DVB SI to ATSC PSIP. We implemented a system for the conversion and tested the validity of the system using broadcasting test equipments.

ATSC 3.0 is a next-generation terrestrial broadcasting standard that provides various functions and improved performance compared to the existing ATSC 1.0 High Definition standard. Based on the ATSC 3.0 broadcast system with IP-centric transport and coherence, it can provide personalized and personalized interactive services to TV viewers. However, the broadcasting system still has a structural limitation in that the service is deployed separately from broadcasters who are allocated a specific frequency and is expected to have different spectrum allocation for each market. To overcome this structural limitation and provide improved services compared with the current ATSC 3.0, preliminary studies were conducted to apply the core network concept of a communication network (particularly 5G) to ATSC 3.0 broadcasting. Finally, in february of this year, the ATSC TG3/S43 group for the development of the ATSC 3.0 Broadcast Core Network (BCN) standard was launched. This paper describes the background and current status of BCN standardization by ATSC TG3/S43, and future standardization prospects.

In this paper we apply space-time block code with multiple transmitter/receiver antennas to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial broadcasting systems. Especially, we apply Aiamouti scheme with two transmitter antennas and multiple receiver antennas to the ATSC broadcasting system. Also. diversity technique with multiple receiver antennas and space-time block code scheme with multiple transmitter/receiver antennas are compared. Our simulation results show that the ATSC broadcasting system with multiple transmitter/receiver antennas has an extremely good performance than the scheme with single transmitter/receiver antenna in the Rayleigh fading channel.

UHD broadcasting based on ATSC 3.0 is being implemented in Korea, and discussion on mobile broadcasting based on ATSC 3.0 is underway. The ATSC 3.0 standard introduces internet protocol based standards in order to facilitate the implementation of conventional broadcasting services as well as broadcasting and communication convergence services interlocking with communication services. In this process, various requirements for the receiver have been derived, and factors to consider for developing the receiver product have also increased. ATSC 3.0 broadcasting is currently in the introduction stage of the service, and additional technology development and product implementation related to the receiver should proceed until the full-scale market is formed. In this regard, this paper describes the considerations for developing UHD receiver based on ATSC 3.0 and the test procedure for verifying developed receiver.

본고에서는 북미 차세대 모바일 DTV(Digital Television) 규격인 ATSC-M/H(Mobile/Handheld) 기술의 주요 특징을 살펴본다. ATSC-M/H 기술은 6MHz 대역폭을 통해 총 19.39Mbps의 전송률을 지원할 수 있는 ATSC(Advanced Television Standard Committee) 시스템에서 HD 콘텐츠 전송 시 생성되는 여유 공간에 모바일 콘텐츠를 추가하여 전송하는 기술로 최대 120km/h의 이동속도를 지원한다. ATSC-M/H는 모바일 서비스를 위한 별도의 주파수 할당이 필요 없고, 기존 ATSC 시스템에 간섭을 주지 않으면서 동시방송이 가능하며, 저렴한 투자비용으로 모바일 방송 시스템을 구축할 수 있는 특징이 있다.

최근 3D HDTV에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 우리나라에서도 3D HDTV 표준을 제정하기 위한 준비가 이루어지고 있으며, 이와 같은 흐름에 맞추어 기존의 ATSC 전송 방식을 확장한 전송 방식이 연구되고 있다. 확장된 ATSC 전송 방식은 지상파 3D HDTV 방송을 목표로 하고, 프레임 구조를 중국의 지상파 방송 표준인 DMB-T와 유사하게 PN 시컨스와 데이터가 연속되는 구조로 모델링하여 이용하고자 한다. 연구되고 있는 확장한 전송방식은 기존의 ATSC 시스템의 VSB 변조방식을 기반으로 한다. 그러므로 원활한 수신을 위해서는 반송파 주파수 오차(심볼속도 대비 최대 1%)를 정확하게 추정하고 복구하여야 한다. 기존 ATSC 시스템은 주파수 대역(DC 1.25V)의 파일럿 신호를 이용하여 반송파 주파수 복구를 하였지만, 확장된 ATSC 시스템은 프레임 헤드 부분인 PN 시컨스를 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 확장된 ATSC 전송 시스템 방식에 적용 가능한 반송파 주파수 복구 방식을 제안하였다.

In this paper, we design transmitter and receiver structures for a $2{\times}2$ multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in ATSC 3.0 systems and analyze the performance of the $2{\times}2$ MIMO system. In the ATSC 3.0 MIMO systems, spatial diversity and multiplexing gains can be obtained using the spatial demultiplexer and precoder. In this paper, we present the structures of the transmitter and receiver for ATSC 3.0 MIMO systems. Also, we present performance results of the $2{\times}2$ MIMO system through computer simulations.

In ATSC 3.0 systems, a bootstrap signal is located at the start of each frame. In this paper, we propose an initial synchronization scheme for ATSC 3.0 systems using the bootstrap signal. The bootstrap signal of ATSC 3.0 has several repetition patterns in the time domain. By utilizing the repetition patterns within the bootstrap, the proposed scheme can obtain an initial synchronization at the receiver. Also, simulation results show that the proposed scheme can obtain an initial synchronization at very low signal-to-noise ratios.

Recently, studies of 3D HDTV broadcasting technology have been processed actively. Korea is making efforts to modify Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 8-Vestigial Side Band (8-VSB) systems for terrestrial 3D HDTV broadcasting services. We intend to adopt a new frame structure to use PN (Pseudo-Noise) sequence as frame header, and VSB modulation. PN sequence is used to recover carrier freqeuncy offset, carrier phase error. In this paper, we will describe this system as the modified ATSC systems. The receiver of the modified ATSC system should be able to estimate and recover carrier frequency offset exactly. A existing ATSC systems inserts pilot to recover carrier frequency offset, on the other hand the modified ATSC systems use PN sequence to recovery carrier frequency offset without the use of pilot. In this paper, we introduce carrier frequency recovery (CFR) scheme for the modified ATSC systems. The proposed CFR scheme is composed of coarse CFR scheme using Fitz algorithm and fine CFR scheme using a simple PN sequence correlation algorithm. And, the symbol information of QAM modulated signal is contained in both In-phase (I)channel and Quadrature-phase (Q)channel. However the symbol information of VSB modulated signal is contained in I channel, and Q channel is just Hilbert transform of I channel. For the reason, VSB modulated symbols can not have fixed phase like QAM modulated symbols, and VSB modulated symbols is more sensitive to carrier frequency offset. Therefore we perform phase correction of received PN sequence to improve performance.
