DVB-T2 Transmission System in the GE-06 Plan

Abstract

Albania is in last steps of full digitization of audiovisual transmission as an obligation derive from ITU Agreement GE-06 “On the planning of terrestrial digital broadcasting service in parts of Regions 1 and 3, in the frequency bands 174-230 MHz and 470-863 MHz”. Digital switchover should be carried out without spoiling the existing structure of the Albania media market which was composed by a considerable numbers of broadcasters. On the other hand, in a study carried out for the EBU Technical Committee it is considered that in the future all TV programmers will be in HD quality and that a minimum of 20 to 25 HDTV programmers will need to be provided on the terrestrial platform in order to make it attractive for the viewers. The GE06 digital broadcasting plan allows for implementation of HDTV services, i.e. using DVB-T. In 2009 the DVB consortium issued specific conditions for the DVB-T2 technologies as an extension of the existing DVB-T standard. Such an extension results in an increase of 30-50% of the DVB-T2 effectiveness compared to DVB-T may and be used in favor of HDTV and increased number of programs. Taking into account the advantage of using DVB-T2 technologies, opportunities and economic benefits to the effective use of frequency spectrum they offer, as well as the need to release as soon as possible the Digital Dividend, it is required by the law in Albania that all digital networks to be DVB-T2 based. This paper analyses how to effectively use the advantages of DVBT2 transmission systems in case of Albania audiovisual market without changes to the GE06 Plan and increasing the number of HDTV programmers.
