[opendtv] Re: Multi-band TV receiver and DVB-H

Bert,

The 15 mbps is the MAXIMUM in an 8MHz channel dedicated to only DVB-H, using
the 'new' 4K carrier scheme.  It is not the minimum required bitrate that
would have to be allocated within a DVB-T multiplex.

Did you read the two short papers I linked?  2 Mbps within a standard DVB-T
multiplex is plenty for the tiny screen.  One scenario was using HM-COFDM
with the DVB-H in the robust stream.

E-VSB will never be included in handheld devices for the same reason that
DVB-T was considered and rejected - POWER CONSUMPTION.  The onus of DVB-H is
to lower power consumption of the receiver by grouping related data packets
in such a way that the receiver can multiplex on and off.

Cheers,

John Shutt
