Study on Internet Based STL for Low Power Gap-fillers Configuring a Mobile TV Network

In this paper, we present study results on internet based scheduler/studio to transmitter link(STL) for transmitter gap-fillers to configure single frequency network(SFN) in mobile broadcasting. For mobile TV receptions in a city, there will be enormous small wave shadows along the roads surrounded by high buildings. To solve this problem, small power transmitters as gap-fillers can be a good candidate. For these transmitter gap-fillers, we proposed an internet based STL which will be a good solution considering low costs of network installation and operation.
