In response to the Digital Britain Interim Report published in the UK in 2009, which mandated that every home must have access to broadband at 2Mbps, Avanti is developing HERCULES - a two satellite multi-spot beam Ka-band system covering the UK and Ireland. HERCULES is designed to provide Universal Service Commitment (USC) services in the UK to two million homes (10% of the population) and Next Generation...
The paper carries out a preliminary assessment of how mobile satellite broadcasting (MSB) systems can increase their capacity potential with a high degree of flexibility and, at the same time, remain on par with wireless terrestrial counterparts. As argued in this work, a promising way forward in this regard is the migration from the conventional single polarization per beam to an advanced dual polarization...
This paper summarises the results of several sessions of measurements executed in the context of the research project named “J-ORTIGIA”. The scope of the project was to validate all kinds of hybrid reception supported by the DVB-SH able to counteract fading in satellite and terrestrial environments. The results of the measurements have also contributed to the 2nd issue of the DVB-SH Implementation...
DVB-SH (Digital Video Broadcasting- Satellite Handled) is a broadcasting standard dedicated to hybrid broadcasting systems combining a satellite and a terrestrial part. On the satellite part, dedicated interleaving and time slicing mechanisms are proposed to mitigate the effects of Land Mobile Satellite (LMS) channel, based on a convolutional interleaver. Depending on the parameters of this interleaver,...
The 2nd generation of Digital Video Broadcasting for Satellite (DVB-S2) standards allows the direct transmission of IP content using the Generic Stream Encapsulation (GSE) protocol, replacing the existing Transport Stream (MPEG-2 TS). This represents an evolution from the two current encapsulation methods: the native use of the Packetized Elementary Stream (PES) over TS for MPEG-2 encoded applications...
The new born DVB standard, called DVB-SH, (Digital Video Broadcast to Satellite Handheld) and allowing for hybrid (terrestrial and satellite) mobile TV reception, has been tested though various trials, including terrestrial only reception, satellite only reception and hybrid reception. This paper summarizes different trials and the results of these trials.
