「Next Generation Broadcast Television: ATSC 3.0」 by Dr. Rich Chernoch.

Abstract:
ATSC 3.0 is a suite of new standards for the next generation of broadcast television - a system
that allows broadcasters to provide new services to viewers.
ATSC 3.0 provides a flexible and more efficient physical layer, mobility,
Ultra-High Definition (UHD) images, new solutions for immersive and personalized audio, an all
IP based transport system, hybrid broadcast/broadband services, advanced emergency alerting
and incorporation of new user technologies such as companion screens.
ATSC 3.0 represents a cooperative effort between all segments of the industry and many parts of the world.
This presentation will provide an overview of ATSC 3.0 from a viewpoint of what has been achieved -
what kinds of new opportunities do broadcasters have to engage their viewers.

Biography:
Dr. Chernock is currently Chief Science Officer at Triveni Digital. Previously, he was a Research
Staff Member at IBM Research, investigating digital broadcast technologies.
Dr. Chernock is chairman of the ATSC Technology Group on ATSC 3.0 (TG3) and chairs the AHG on service
delivery and synchronization for ATSC 3.0. He was previously chairman of the ATSC Technology and
Standards Group (TG1). He is also the Distinguished Lecturer Chair for IEEE BTS and a member of FOBTV.
In another life, he used transmission electron microscopy to study materials characteristics for
advanced ceramics packaging and semiconductor technology at IBM.
His ScD was from MIT in the field of nuclear materials engineering.

「Co-operation of broadcast and wireless broadband networks: A Tower Overlay over LTE-A+ and 5G」　
by Prof. Ulrich Reimers.

Abstract:
The number of Smartphones in use around the world is growing rapidly. Their displays support high quality video.
Market analysts suggest that the use of video on such devices will grow exponentially.
Flashdots, in which many people want to watch the same streaming video at the same time, occur
frequently. And more and more video will be watched live – specifically during large events such as
football matches. With eMBMS LTE offers a broadcast solution but eMBMS absorbs Unicast capacity.
TOoL+ offers an additional network layer, which is ideal for offloading popular content without
increasing the load on the cellular network. Institut fuer Nachrichtentechnik (IfN) of
Technische Universitaet Braunschweig, together with its partners Radio Italiana (Rai) and TDF (France) invented
a new approach to relieve the load on cellular networks by integrating a High Power
High Tower (HPHT) or Medium Tower Medium Power (MPMT) layer into the network. A load distribution
algorithm selects between the layers Unicast/eMBMS/TOoL+. The new layer spans several LTE cells and
thereby reduces backhauling capacity and network cost. TOoL+ was already field tested both in France
and in Italy. Current research aims at extending the concept to a Tower Overlay over 5G networks.

Biography:
Ulrich H. Reimers studied communication engineering at Technische Universitaet Braunschweig, Germany.
Following research at the university’s Institut fuer Nachrichtentechnik (IfN - Institute for
Communications Technology) he joined BTS Broadcast Television Systems in Darmstadt. Between 1989 and
1993 he was Technical Director of Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) in Hamburg - one of the major public
broadcasters in Germany. Since 1993 he has been a Professor at Technische Universitaet Braunschweig
and Managing Director of the Institut fuer Nachrichtentechnik (Institute for Communications Technology).
Prof. Reimers was chairman of the Technical Module within the DVB Project from 1993 to 2012
and a board member of Deutsche TV-Plattform (the German institution co-ordinating the interests of
all organisations involved in TV) from 1992 to 2012. Since 2012 he is Vice President Strategic Development and Technology
Transfer of Technische Universitaet Braunschweig. He is the author of more than 120 publications,
among others of various text books on DVB. Prof. Reimers received a significant number of
international and national awards such as the IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award or the
IEEE Consumer Electronics Engineering Excellence award. Recently Prof. Reimers and the research teams
at IfN invented innovative solutions for the co-existence of broadcast and wireless broadband such as
“Dynamic Broadcast”, “Tower Overlay over LTE-A+ (TOoL+)”, or “Redundancy on Demand”.
