“…The interference accounts for both the self-interference from within the SFN and the external interference from other SFNs and unicast transmissions. It should be noted that this SINR calculation may lead to optimistic results as pointed out in [24] [25]. The performance of SFN in a realistic scenario would be less homogeneous and affected by a non-ideal receiver response function.…”

With increasing number of TV channels and growing need for on-demand services, the traditional digital terrestrial television (DTT) is becoming a less attractive way of distributing TV contents. As an alternative, we discuss a converged platform in UHF band for TV and mobile broadband provisioning based on LTE cellular technology and infrastructure, here referred to as CellTV. The requirement for CellTV is to provide a seamless TV coverage from urban to rural environments and to minimize the spectrum requirement so that the leftover can be used for mobile services. We formulate an optimal spectrum allocation problem for CellTV to distribute different TV channels with different transmission modes. Each TV channel is delivered via either unicast links or broadcast over single frequency networks (SFNs) of different modulation orders according to the location-dependent viewing demand and cellular infrastructure availability. Based on a case study of the Greater Stockholm region, we identify that CellTV requires only a small portion of the UHF band to deliver the TV contents in urban areas, thus releasing a significant amount of spectrum for mobile broadband services. Meanwhile, the spectrum requirement for CellTV is considerably higher in suburban and rural areas due to the transitions of transmission modes. We further generalize these findings to provide a guiding principle for CellTV deployment in mixed environments and also to demonstrate the flexibility advantage of CellTV in adapting to the growing diversity of TV contents.

With the rapid spread of the light emitting diode (LED), visible light communication (VLC) is becoming an emerging wireless communication technology. VLC offers advantageous properties such as safety, environmental protection, worldwide availability and high capacity. It can be used as an effective supplement of the existing wireless communication. Power line communication (PLC) using the omnipresent power line cables in driving LED also can be used as a communication medium between the LEDs and other network. It only requires little modification of the existing infrastructure to achieve the purpose of illumination and communication simultaneously. In this paper, we propose an efficient and low-cost indoor broadband broadcasting system based on the integration of PLC and VLC. The proposed system take full advantages of existing cabling infrastructure, providing high-speed communications while achieving better signal coverage. The performance is evaluated and analyzed with a three-LED lamp network based on the proposed system.

Broadcast is a mechanism created for the delivery of the same content to many users simultaneously. This technology has been considered in 3GPP as part of 4G and recently 5G. One of the key solutions to enhance coverage when using 5G broadcast is the use of Single Frequency Networks (SFN), where all transmitters deliver the same content at the same frequency in a synchronized manner. This paper is derived from the 5G-ROSE project, which works towards the transmission of 5G broadcast services over SFN virtualized networks, using opensource software. The work is divided into three topics. The first part is the development and testing of the first virtualized Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service over Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) transmission. The second part consists of the introduction of 5G physical layer Release (Rel)-16 specific components. The third part is about the combination of both unicast and broadcast transmissions by means of network slicing. This paper describes in detail the implemented technologies, the testbed facility where these are integrated, as well as the implementation and setup to carry out the experiment.
