The Abstract from the paper is copied below:
“This paper provides a proof-of-concept for delivering audio services using ATSC 3.0. It outlines the initial starting requirements for the development of the system. It then covers the determinations made at each step of the process to fulfill these goals: encoding, delivery layer, physical layer, and receiver. Real world results of the tests conducted in the lab and in the Baltimore, Maryland market are then discussed. Finally, next steps in development, as well as potential gaps in the standard to fill are suggested.”
