Fostering worldwide interoperabilityGeneva, July 2009 Advanced T-DMB (AT-DMB) standard for Enhanced Mobile TV Service DJey TTA Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) 14 DOCUMENT #:GSC14-GRSC7-021 FOR:Presentation SOURCE:TTA, Korea AGENDA ITEM:4.2 CONTACT(S):Daejung Kim

Fostering worldwide interoperability 2 Highlight of Current Activities Standardization Status of TTA PG801 Work scope of TTA PG801(DMB Project Group) Development of DMB Standards Promoting the international harmonization of DMB standards TTA T-DMB Standards T-DMB Basic interface standards (05) T-DMB data broadcasting Standards (08) International Harmonization T-DMB Specification was reflected in ITU-R REC- BT.1883 (07) T-DMB Middleware platform Specification(TTAS.KO ) is expected to harmonize with ETSI standard in 2009

Fostering worldwide interoperability 3 Highlight of Current Activities Service coverage Launched T-DMB commercial service (05, Korea) Nowadays, T-DMB service covers the whole national area including Seoul subway area T-DMB receivers The Number of DMB receivers reached 15 mil. (08) - Every family owns at least one T-DMB receiver DMB Market T-DMB DMB receiver market is strongly driven by two types of convergence devices such as mobile phones and car navigation systems * Mobile operators(KT) have begun to aggressively push interactive services based on BIFS technology to create additional revenue using T-DMB. * Most navigation systems now support DMB In addition TPEG services are becoming another attractive feature of DMB enabled navigation systems(Real-time traffic information via TPEG) T-DMB Service in Korea

Fostering worldwide interoperability 4 Highlight of Current Activities T-DMB Service in Korea Network Cost The network investment of T-DMB is less than that the other Mobile TV service with similar coverage Channel capacity But, T-DMB could provide less number of services than the other Mobile TV. More channel capacity for variety multimedia and data services is required within the limited frequency band. Need to make new enhanced standard There is an urgent need for the next step in the mobile broadcasting technology compensating T-DMB to penetrate the global mobile broadcasting market.

Fostering worldwide interoperability 5 Strategic Direction Requirements for new enhanced standard(AT-DMB) The Backward compatible with the T-DMB service Increasing data rate up to maximum twice vs. T-DMB data rate Multi-Channel Service (mobile environment) - Provides additive A/V and data services High-Quality Service (fixed environment) - Provides near SD image quality video service & multi-channel audio service More service models of new enhanced standard(AT-DMB) Available as DTV alternative service in developing countries TPEG, BWS, Clipcasting, Filecasting services in the mobile environment shall be able to apply Interactive data services using extended channels of AT- DMB and wireless communications

Fostering worldwide interoperability 6 Challenges AT-DMB service is composed of base layer and enhancement layer Base layer : T-DMB service Enhancement layer : additional data service and video Concept of multi-channel service Concept of High-quality service

Fostering worldwide interoperability 7 Challenges More Hierarchical Modulation (employed for backward compatibility & increasing payload) Technique for multiplexing and modulating multiple data streams into one single symbol stream (This Modulation was also adopted to TIA Mediaflo and ETSI DVT-T Spec) Turbo code Enhancement layer requires high performance channel code This has better performance compared with convolutional code applied to T-DMB

Fostering worldwide interoperability 8 Future Direction As TTA Standard TTA PG801 completed AT-DMB std.& published in June 18, 2009 Enhancement layer : additional data service and video For International Harmonization This AT-DMB technology has been presented at WorldDMB Meeting This AT-DMB technology will be contributed to ITU-R SG6 at the end of 2009

Fostering worldwide interoperability 9 Future Direction For enhancement of service Interoperable service technology with various wireless communication network like WiBro and WCDMA Interactive data services using extended channels of AT-DMB and wireless communications Providing user participation in services with a return channel through communication network Interactive Data Audio Video T-DMB interactive services AT-DMB interactive services Mux/COFDM (BL) Hierarchical Modulation Mux/COFDM (EL) RF Channel Content Server AT-DMB Network CAS BL Service Channels EL Service Channels Wireless communication network (WiBro, WCDMA, etc.)
