A Study on the ATSC 3.0 Service Following

Abstract

In ATSC 3.0 capable of mobile services, the functionality of service following is required when the user moves around the shadow area or travels to the adjacent broadcast network. This paper proposes a scheme of ATSC 3.0 service following by the definition of service following description format and the delivery and consumption behavior. With this proposed scheme, the user is able to continue the tuned service with keeping his eyes on the road wherever he enters the low signal strength area or travels to the edge of the broadcast zone.
