Performance assessment of ATSC interactive datacasting systems

A testbed to study the system performance of datacasting over terrestrial ATSC DTV channels is developed. A number of new measurements, defined to suit the performance assessment of the datacasting systems, were proposed and investigated. Results obtained with these tests offer valuable information for broadcasters who intend to implement IP data broadcasting services over DTV systems.
