DVB Technologies and Video Communications
Kota, Sastri ORGANIZER: Kota, Sastri
The Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) technologies, in particular, for Satellite forward and return links, i.e. DVB-S and DVB-RCS, have been standardized by ETSI. Since then, DVB protocol standards have been widely applied in both the commercial and military environment. In the first part of this session four papers discuss the DVB-S and Second Generation DVB-S2 applications to WGS satellites, DVB-RCS protocol based hub development and provides system demonstration. In addition, discussions on development of the Joint IP modem with DVB-S2, RCS will be presented. The second part of the session deals with optimal bandwidth allocation for H-264 Video transmission on over MIMO systems, cross-layer design based coding and transmission schemes for motion compensated video over OFDM systems. The session concludes with a paper on UAV Video Systems in distributed network operations.
