A Pragmatic Media-Sharing Device for ATSC Mobile DTV Broadcasting

The recent proliferation of smart and portable devices has made multimedia streaming services available in mobile communication networks, which sometimes causes heavy traffic and network congestion problems. In contrast, there are no network congestion issues in mobile broadcasting networks. Due to the unidirectional property of mobile broadcasting networks, it is possible to provide multimedia streaming services efficiently. This paper, therefore, proposes a pragmatic mediasharing device capable of receiving ATSC Mobile DTV broadcast and relaying it to several smart and portable devices through Wi-Fi. The proposed device provides both multimedia streaming and data services of ATSC Mobile DTV broadcast and works well with smart devices based on different mobile operating systems such as Android and iOS.
