Problems Facing With Mobile Tv
• Coupling between them disturbs the GSM antenna and affects
its performance
• Co-design of the GSM and Mobile DTV antennas is essential
• Signal coupling from GSM to mobile DTV antenna is high.
• Antenna size.
• Power requirements.
• Reception at high speeds
• Ideally continuous operation from 470 to above 700 MHz
– Limited to ~700 MHz to assist GSM coexistence
Solutions
• Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcast (T-DMB)
• Integrated Services Digital Broadcast – Handhelds
(ISDB-H)
• Chinese Multimedia Broadcast (CMMB)
• Media Forward Link Only (MediaFLO)
• Digital Video Broadcast – Handhelds (DVB-H)
How They All Work
• Transmitters on tall towers
• Broadcast of signals
• Special mobile phones enabled for mobile TV
• Switch phone to TV mode and select the channel to
view from amongst available channels
• Take a call in the middle of a TV program
• Broadcasting does not use the BTS at all.
Transmitters are similar to the terrestrial transmitters
used by Doordarshan. BTS bandwidth is irrelevant
Interaction between GSM & DVB-H

Strong coupling, poor isolation

Opportunity In India

• TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority Of India ) Proposed


Recommendations on Mobile Television Service (Jan 2008)
• 698-746 MHz (48 MHz) – considered for Mobile TV in India.
• DVB-H is expected to be largely through terrestrial transmissions.
• Currently, only Doordarshan can transmit terrestrially in India.
• Doordarshan has started DVB-H trials in Delhi.
• Results of the trial will determine commercial launch by Doordarshan.
.
Conclusions
• Mobile TV broadcasts are feasible – technologies exist and
have been successful in other parts of the world
• Indian consumers are willing to invest (instruments) and
spend (subscriptions) for mobile TV
• Indian consumers expect to see a lot of mobile TV
• There is a market for varied content in the mobile TV
market
• Keys issues and challenges are understood
• Solutions are available now
• Performance improvement
