Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting in China

This paper presents a recently developed fourth standard that meets the China's unique needs. In China, the proportion of television viewers using terrestrial reception is pretty high. Other characteristics of China's TV audience made it necessary to develop a new digital terrestrial television broadcasting standard that provides high-quality multimedia service as well. Field trials to date have demonstrated DTTB's good performance, providing a solid foundation for building on these applications. We're very willing to collaborate with people from academic, engineering, and industrial groups to improve the DTTB standard in the future.
