This paper presents a procedure for testing the mobile reception performance of DVB-T2 in urban environments. The main goal of this procedure is to reduce and simplify the measurement and processing stages, which are especially critical in the non-stationary and heterogeneous conditions of urban mobile reception. This procedure is supported by field trials carried out by the authors in these environments. The paper is focused on the DVB-T2 standard, but the methodology is also applicable to other new digital broadcasting systems designed for mobile urban reception, such as T2Mobile or DVB-NGH systems.
