Design and Implementation of ATSC 3.0 Home Media Gateway for UHDTV and Companion Devices

ATSC 3.0 is a next-generation terrestrial- broadcasting standard for digital television systems. As the early versions of 4K ultra high definition TVs do not use an ATSC 3.0 receiver in Korea, consumers have had to use a separate converter device. Herein, we proposed new concept and system structure for the home media gateway that can transfer various ATSC 3.0 broadcasting services to any device equipped with communication network functions. We evaluate the home media gateway and verified its performance by building a test case.
