Digital audio broadcasting: an interactive services architecture

Abstract

Digital media technologies offer enhanced multimedia signal broadcasting and description of the signal on content. Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is a media standard with extended multimedia capabilities, offering novel services to users world-wide. Each digital broadcasting standard though, cannot be separately viewed from the development of Internet radio broadcasting. We introduce a multi-agent based system architecture, specially designed to provide and support advanced interactive services between users and digital media broadcasting systems, such as DAB and Internet radio broadcasting.
