Studies on channel models and channel characteristics for mobile broadcasting

This paper presents a comparison of laboratory measurements and field trials in two networks and three different use cases for mobile TV. The channel models for pedestrian outdoor, vehicular urban and motorway rural are compared to the conventional 6-tap typical urban (TU6) channel model and to corresponding field measurements. It is shown that the pedestrian outdoor and vehicular urban channel models correspond to field measurements and to the TU6 model. Field trials on the motorway give different results than channel models. The measurement results are also compared to results from tests on subjectively perceived audiovisual quality.
