Procedure to Optimize Coverage and Throughput for a DVB-H System Based on Field Trials

A procedure to optimize the coverage and throughput for a DVB-H system is proposed. The performance of the system is evaluated by measurements for different modulation schemes, guard intervals, and MPE-FEC rates. Based on technical trial results, an optimal transmission scheme is proposed for a specific network, maximizing the coverage for a certain throughput requirement. This optimization will enable to select an optimal transmission scheme for future DVB-H trials and deployments.
