  • Future transmitter/receiver diversity schemes in Broadcast wireless networks
    IEEE Communications Magazine, 2006
    Co-Authors: Yue Zhang, John Cosmas, Yong-hua Song, M. Bard
    Abstract:

    An open diversity architecture for a cooperating Broadcast wireless network is presented that exploits the strengths of the existing Digital Broadcast standards. Different diversity techniques for Broadcast networks that will minimize the complexity of Broadcast systems and improve received SNR of Broadcast signals are described. Resulting Digital Broadcast networks could require fewer transmitter sites and thus be more cost effective with less environmental impact. Transmit diversity is particularly investigated since it obviates the major disadvantage of receive diversity being the difficulty of locating two receive antennas far enough apart in a small mobile device. The schemes examined here are compatible with existing Broadcast and cellular telecom standards, and can be incorporated into existing systems without change

  • Combined multiresolution source coding and modulation for Digital Broadcast of HDTV
    Signal Processing-image Communication, 1992
    Co-Authors: Kannan Ramchandran, Martin Vetterli
    Abstract:

    Abstract A practical end-to-end all-Digital multiresolution system is demonstrated that employs joint source-channel coding and modulation in order to achieve efficient Broadcast of Digital HDTV. The threshold effect plaguing single resolution systems is softened by a stepwise graceful degradation. This can be used to increase the coverage and robustness of the Digital Broadcast system. This approach is seen as an alternative to traditional single resolution Digital transmission systems which are not designed for Broadcast situations, and which suffer from the threshold effect. This paper highlights the benefits of using an embedded multiresolution modulation constellation over a modulation scheme that resorts to time or frequency multiplexing of the Broadcast resolutions. Besides showing coding results and simulations of transmission effects, the paper discusses the trade-offs between low and high resolution coverage.

  • Multiresolution coding techniques for Digital television: A review
    Multidimensional Systems and Signal Processing, 1992
    Co-Authors: Martin Vetterli, Kamil Metin Uz
    Abstract:

    Multiresolution decompositions for video coding are reviewed. Both nonrecursive and recursive coding schemes are considered. In nonrecursive schemes, it is shown that pyramid structures have certain advantages over subband or wavelet techniques, and a specific spatiotemporal pyramid coding of HDTV is discussed in some detail. It is shown that recursive, DPCM like schemes will incur a slight loss of optimality due to a restricted form of prediction if multiresolution decomposition with compatible decoding is required. Compatibility and transmission issues are also discussed. Multiresolution transmission for Digital Broadcast TV is introduced. This, when combined with multiresolution source coding, achieves spectrum efficiency, robustness and graceful degradation under channel impairments.

  • BROADNETS - Simulation study of the spectral capacity requirements of Switched Digital Broadcast
    2007 Fourth International Conference on Broadband Communications Networks and Systems (BROADNETS '07), 2007
    Co-Authors: Jiong Gong, Daniel A. Vivanco, Jim Martin
    Abstract:

    Switched Digital Broadcast (SDB) is a new method of distributing video programming. Compared with traditional Broadcast methods, it reduces spectrum requirements by taking advantage of the fact that not all program channels are being viewed by subscribers at the same time. The actual spectrum savings depends on human TV watching behavior, the popularity of delivered TV programs, streaming bit-rate composition and subscriber group size. We have developed a simulation model of an SDB system that allows us to explore the impact of these factors, in particular subscriber’s channel flipping behavior, on the capacity requirement. Our subscriber viewing model ranges from intense, correlated channel flipping behavior to minimal flipping behavior representing DVR usage. Our results suggest that frequent channel flipping has little effect on the spectrum requirements under normal viewing assumptions.
