Highlight of Current Activities (1)
• Digital Terrestrial TV service in Japan
– On December 1, 2003, Japan launched digital terrestrial television
broadcasting (DTTB) using the Integrated Service Digital
Broadcasting - Terrestrial (ISDB-T) transmission system.
– ISDB-T is recommended in Rec. ITU-R BT.1306.
– ISDB-T is robust transmission system because it uses OFDM and
time interleaving.
• One-Seg
– One-segment services for handheld receivers (called “One-Seg”) can
be provided simultaneously with one 6MHz TV channel, in addition to
HDTV (or multi-channel SDTV).
– On April 1, 2006, One-Seg services began in Japan.
– More than 30 million One-Seg receivers have been shipped so far.
– Various kinds of One-Seg receivers are available on the market.
– One-Seg is provided free of charge.

Highlight of Current Activities (2)
• BST-OFDM technology
– NHK developed the Band Segmented Transmission OFDM (BSTOFDM) technology for ISDB-T in 1996.
– ISDB-T consists of 13 OFDM segments.
– The system supports hierarchical transmissions of up to three layers,
and parameters can be changed in each layers.
– Typically we use two layers. One is a layer for HDTV with 12
segments using 64QAM, and the other is a layer for One-Seg with 1
segment using QPSK.
– Example of Information bit rate is 16.85Mbps (for HDTV) and
416kbps (for One-Seg).
• Features of One-Seg
– Not only video & audio, but data, closed caption, and Electric
Program Guide are transmitted in One-Seg.
– One-Seg is a new medium that realizes the convergence of
broadcasting & communications on the mobile terminal.

Strategic Direction
• Termination of Analog TV services
– Plans call for digital terrestrial broadcasting to reach all homes in
Japan by July 2011.
– By July 2011, both analog terrestrial and satellite broadcasting are
scheduled to be terminated.
– At this point, Japan will have completed the transition to all-digital TV
broadcasting.
• Digital Radio
– Digital terrestrial radio (DR) test transmission started in October 2003.
– Programs are transmitted by the Digital Radio Promotion Association
(DRP), a licensed broadcasting corporation run jointly by NHK,
several commercial radio stations, etc.
– DR uses a vacant VHF TV channel (CH-7) for the test transmission.
– ISDB-TSB (Sound Broadcasting) transmission system is adopted for
DR.

Challenges
• Recent topics in One-Seg
– Independent program service
It is possible to broadcast independent program service in One-Seg
(non-simultaneous program to 12 segments) from April 2008 by
legal changes.
NTV started to broadcast independent One-Seg test service for
sports programs.
NHK announced the start of independent One-Seg service using
educational channel from April 2009.
– Multi-channel service in One-Seg
It is possible to send up to 3 programs in One-Seg.
TOKYO MX started 2 programs One-Seg service when they
broadcast multi-channel service from June 2008.
• Research & Development in One-Seg
– NHK have been developing Connected One-Seg Re-transmission
System.
– NHK have been developing Automatic Activation of One-Seg
Receivers by emergency warning broadcast system. (See slide 20,21)

Next Steps/Actions
• VHF/UHF rearrangement after analog TV termination
– Frequency bandwidth for terrestrial television will be reduced from 370MHz to
240MHz.
– VHF Low (18MHz) & VHF High (14.5MHz) will be allocated for non-TV
broadcasting services. (e.g., Multimedia broadcasting for mobile receivers)
• Multimedia broadcasting for mobile receivers
to slide 14
– There’s a chance to start new multimedia broadcasting services for mobile
receivers with VHF Low & VHF High.
– ISDB-TSB, ISDB-Tmm (Mobile Multimedia), etc are now under consideration
for new services.
– One-Seg, ISDB-TSB, and ISDB-Tmm are all ISDB-T family that introduce the
BST-OFDM technology. (See slide 22)
– VHF Low would be assigned for local services, and VHF High would be
assigned for national services according to the report about the multimedia
broadcasting.
– The report said it is necessary to fix the industries that will provide new
services by the middle of 2010 to start broadcasting after July 2011.
– ARIB is now preparing for the new download services for multimedia
broadcasting.

Connected One-Seg Re-transmission System
- Research & Development in One-Seg ・NHK developed a "connected One-Seg re-transmission system" that extracts One-Seg
signals from the digital terrestrial broadcast-waves received from individual broadcasters
and combines them into a single signal for re-transmission over a channel that is different
from any of the receiving channels.
・A maximum of thirteen One-Seg signals can be re-transmitted. It will be possible to offer
community broadcasting localized to a particular area for re-transmission, in addition to
One-Seg services from every broadcaster.

Automatic Activation of One-Seg Receivers by EWS
- Research & Development in One-Seg ・The EWS (Emergency Warning broadcast System) automatically activates receivers when
a disaster happens, such as an earthquake or Tsunami.
・NHK developed EWS compatible adaptor that can be connected to a One-Seg receiver.
・The low power consumption achieved by performing intermittent reception of the One-Seg
activation flag, which is transmitted approximately every 0.2 seconds, showed the
prospect of continuous standby operation for about two weeks without recharging.
・Among the 432 carriers used for One-Seg
service, four carriers transmit the activation flag
for emergency warning broadcasting. Increasing
this to all four carriers, from the previously used
two carriers that transmitted the activation flag
signal, improved reception sensitivity without
increasing power consumption.
・NHK will work toward the actual implementation
of One-Seg and radio receiver with the EWS
reception function.

ISDB-Tmm
- Multimedia broadcasting for mobile receivers ・ISDB-Tmm (Mobile Multimedia) is new multimedia broadcast method that is based on the
ISDB-T international standard.
・The features of ISDB-Tmm is flexible structure of segments.
・It is possible to download the contents through the air.
・MMBP (MultiMedia Broadcasting Planning LLC) was created in December 2006 for the
purpose of surveying and researching new mobile multimedia broadcast technologies and
business models. MMBP started field testing of ISDB-Tmm in March 2008 using the Tokyo
Tower.
