  • Mobile Phones As Multiple Information Terminals: from the Research Project “People and Media Usage in Japan”
    Mobile Phones as Multiple Information Terminals: From the Research Project “People and Media Usage in Japan” SUZUKI Yuji, YONEKURA Ritsu, NAKANO Sachiko, and NISHIMURA Noriko This is a summary and analysis of a survey on trends in mobile phone use conducted in November 2006.1 Mobile phone use in Japan rose rapidly from the late 1990s, with the number of subscribers reaching over 60 million by 2001, greater than the number of landline subscribers. As of February 2007, there were 95.76 million subscribers, and, added to the 4.91 million PHS sub- scribers, the total figure rose well over 100 million.2 According to these fig- ures, we have entered the “one mobile phone per person” era. Research by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication shows that in 2006, there were more people using the Internet on mobile phones and PHS than those using the Internet on their computers (PCs).3 The mobile phone is becoming a major information terminal through which people access the Internet. As seen in Internet use, mobile phones have achieved rapid upgrades and functional diversity. In addition to standard communication functions such as making phone calls and sending e-mail, others such as web searches, music downloading, cameras, games, calendars, calculators, 1seg (one-segment; mobile digital terrestrial television broadcasting service) reception, video reception, and electronic payments for Internet shopping have become the focus of increasing attention. This shift has become more pronounced with the spread of 3G (third-generation) mobile phones, which make possible high- speed, high-volume data transmission. As such, mobile phones have increas- ingly become “multiple information terminals” used in every imaginable situation in daily life.

    Using Satellite to provide Ubiquitous coverage for DVB-T/H content Distribution New services – new tomorrow • Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) – DTT is the means of distributing television and radio programs wirelessly to the homes from a number of transmission towers and repeaters. – A worldwide phenomena which will improve television services for consumers and lead to greater revenue generating opportunities for carriers. – Over 50 networks deployed and 60 million receivers deployed. Digital Terestrial Television DVB-T Undecided ATSC ISDB-T 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 What is DTT? • Digital Terrestrial Television – In analog television, a typically 8Mhz frequency range carried a single channel, whereas DTT allows for higher modulation and thereby the ability to carry more content in the same range (ex. 32Mbps with 64QAM). – Digital content (i.e Program Streams) are multiplexed into MPEG-Transport Streams (TS) and carried to the subscriber homes over the radio frequencies. – Broadcasters can opt for Multiple Frequency Networks (MFN) vs Single Frequency Networks (SFN). Tower and traffic synchronization considerations are a challenge. – Support for SFN is key to early distribution. Operator Challenges • DTT distribution challenges – Speed of deployment of a new network. Most countries face “analog shut-down” legislated due dates (Brazil date is July 2016, USA is Feb 2009) – CAPEX and OPEX of rolling out a new network – Remote monitoring, control and security of content – Integrating local content with universally distributed content. – Ensuring synchronization of content. New services – new tomorrow • Mobile TV – Mobile TV is the means of distributing television content wirelessly to handheld or mobile devices. – Still in its infancy, 120 plus commercially launched Mobile TV services worldwide – Cellular operating are targeting Mobile TV as a means to increase ARPU.

  • Development of Terrestrial Digital TV Broadcast Receiver
    Development of Terrestrial Digital TV Broadcast Receiver Kazuo Takayama Kohichi Chikaishi Toshio Tanaka Hidenori Gohhara Abstract Japan's digital terrestrial TV broadcasting began in December 2003 in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. At the end of 2006 the service area will be expanded, enabling 50% of the nation's households to view the broadcasts and gen- erating a growing need for digital TV in vehicles also. Fujitsu Ten embarked on development in 2000; by December 2005 we had created commercial products, and these were adopted as factory options for the Toyota Motor Corporation in January 2006. Receiving Hi-Vision transmissions stably in under mobile conditions requires a lot of technology. We devoted particular effort to technology for stable reception in the face of Doppler shifts during high speed travel, and developed custom LSI and an antenna system. Digital broadcast come with data as well as pictures and audio. We developed a BML browser to display the data, and graphics LSI / software to enable its manipulation via touch-keys. The in-vehicle digital TV developed provides stable pictures and audio like those of home systems, and also provides broadcast data. 44 Development of Terrestrial Digital TV Broadcast Receiver 1 Introduction1 Introduction Receiver hideaway unit Rear-installed antennas Japan's digital terrestrial TV broadcasting (ISDB-T: Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial) began in December 2003 in three conurbations (Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka) and at the end of 2006 will be receivable by 50% of the nation's households. The reception rate will rise to 93% of households by the end of 2010, with analog broadcasts scheduled to cease in 2011.
