“…However, a maximal limit of 800 kW (59 dBW) for ERP was imposed. In [26], the Tx ERP was set to a maximal limit of 53 dBW and an ERP of hundreds of kilowatts is common for high tower Txs [9,47]. With regard to the Mexican technical rules for DTV, they do not specify a maximal ERP limit for gap fillers, but they specify a range from 1 kW (30 dBW) to at least 10 kW (40 dBW).…”

This work proposes suitable network configurations for single frequency networks (SFNs) with ATSC 1.0 based on network coverage calculations and the laboratory multipath handling performance of commercial receivers. SFNs are widely used for delivering terrestrial digital television services because of their efficient use of the spectrum. In Mexico the analogue television transmissions switch‐off occurred on 31 December 2016. Thus it is expected the adopted ATSC 1.0 system will be in force for the next several years despite the recent standardization of the ATSC 3.0 system. As ATSC 1.0 uses 8‐VSB modulation the multipath handling capability of receivers is critical for the design of SFNs. The presented network planning results help develop technical normativity for implementing SFNs in Mexico and other countries that use ATSC 1.0. SFNs with transmitter separation up to 130 km are fully covered for outdoor reception mainly due to the directivity of the receiving antenna. Moreover for indoor reception at least 70% of an SFN coverage area can be achieved with a transmitter separation of up to 60 km depending on the radiated power and the transmitter antenna height.

“…Because nighttime light remote sensing (NTL-RS) data are important data that reflect the degree of population aggregation and intensity of human activities [8][9][10][11], this article combines NTL-RS data with spatial field strength (SFS) data simulated by ICS telecom (EV 15.6.2) and proposes a monitoring coverage assessment method based on a graph model, which has practical significance for planning and designing radio monitoring networks. To the best of our knowledge, the existing methods mainly focus on geographic coverage [12,13], and there is no report on the population coverage of radio services.…”

Improving coverage has been one of the main objectives of radio monitoring network construction, and radio monitoring coverage assessment has become a matter of concern. This article uses a graph model to associate nighttime light remote sensing (NTL-RS) data of a particular area with the corresponding spatial field strength (SFS) data obtained from an elastic wave propagation simulation. The geographic coverage and population coverage of the radio monitoring station are characterized through adjacency matrix calculation. Taking Wuhua District, Kunming, Yunnan Province, as an example, two radio services are available. Results showed that the geographic coverage of digital TV and FM radio was 21.06% and 27.96%, respectively, while the respective population coverage was 48.1% and 57.5%. When considering the light intensity weight, the weighted population coverage was 92.9% and 94.3%. The method proposed in this article is vital for the scientific assessment of radio monitoring coverage.
