Overview (1)
Engineering Committee TR-47 is responsible for development
and maintenance of downlink standards for terrestrial and nonterrestrial mobile multimedia multicast systems. TR-47 has two
standards formulating subcommittees, TR-47.1 Forward Link
Only Air Interface and TR-47.2 Digital Video Broadcasting
for Handheld Air Interface.

Overview (2)
TR-47.2 Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld (DVB-H and DVB-SH)
Air Interface - Standards
The TR-47.2 subcommittee developed one key
standard initially that addressed a number of
specifications.
TIA-1105 – “Terrestrial Mobile Multimedia Multicast
based on Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld Devices
System (2006).”
In 2009 the TR-47.2 subcommittee completed an
additional key standard that addressed a number of
specifications to support Satellite Hybrid
approaches.
TIA-1168 – “Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Mobile
Multimedia Multicast based on Digital Video
Broadcasting to Handheld Devices Operating on Satellite,
Terrestrial or Hybrid Networks at Frequencies Below 3
GHz.”
Fostering worldwide interoperability
Strategic Direction
With deployments of Mobile Multimedia Multicast Systems
starting, the standards created by the TIA TR-47
subcommittees are at the forefront of this new emerging
market. New standards will be developed to the meet the
new requirements and revisions will be made to address
newly identified enhancements. The Scope of the
committee was expanded to address the needs of Satellite
Hybrids potential deployments
The committee interacts with a number of organizations
including ETSI, 3GPP, DVB Project, Mobile DTV Alliance, and
the FLO Forum. This high level of global cooperation is
expected to continue to meet the growing market needs.
TIA continues to have excellent cooperation with ETSI in
using ETSI Standards to provide a baseline for
transposition into TIA Standards, as has been done for
over 15 years at TIA.
Fostering worldwide interoperability
Challenges
Continue to evaluate the additional needs of
the stakeholders in a timely manner based
on commercial deployments of Mobile
Multimedia Multicast Systems.
Fostering worldwide interoperability
Next Steps/Actions
Revise and/or amend current standards
based on early deployments.
Review potential requirements for
Emergency Alert Systems that result in
revisions/additional standards.
Fostering worldwide interoperability
Proposed Resolution
Revision required from TIA’s
perspective, to include scope of
Satellite and Hybrid Systems.
Will review during GSC-14 Panel
discussions.

TR-47 Terrestrial Mobile Multimedia Multicast - Scope
Engineering Committee TR-47 is responsible
for development and maintenance of downlink
standards for a terrestrial and non-terrestrial
mobile multimedia multicast [1] systems. These
standards are intended to be employed by users
and suppliers to promote compatible and
interoperable systems to support multicast audio,
video, and data requirements for a wide range of
commercial and public services.
The Committee works with other national and international standards
development organizations in promoting standards harmonization. Work items
are encouraged that are not duplicative of wireless data services architecture,
interface and protocol development, such as done in 3GPP, 3GPP2 and Open
Mobile Alliance, among others. The Engineering Committee’s focus is on
standards for radio interfaces, testing methodologies, performance and
reliability standards, and equipment design guides as they relate to terrestrial
mobile multimedia multicast.

simultaneously, or two-way communication such as videoconferencing, teleconferencing, or email.

TR-47.1 Forward Link Only Air Interface -Scope
Subcommittee TR-47.1, Forward Link Only Air
Interface is responsible for the development and
maintenance of downlink standards for a subclass of
terrestrial and non-terrestrial mobile multimedia
multicast systems.
The subclass is characterized by the combining of the following features,
among others, purpose-built, high spectral efficiency, multiple
simultaneous services, layered modulation and service support, advanced
coding, customized transport methods, not limited to Internet Protocol
encapsulation, statistical multiplexing of variable-rate services, highquality audio, video & data, content protection, multiple coverage areas
(wide and local) within a single RF channel, support different QoS for
different services within a single RF channel and a single service, fast
switching time between services, minimized receiver power consumption
without sacrificing the time-diversity performance or the speed of service
switching regardless of the service rate, and a deterministic frame
structure based on a time synchronizing signal such as GPS.
These standards are intended to be employed by users and suppliers to
promote compatible and interoperable systems to support multicast audio,
video, and data requirements for a wide range of commercial and public
services.

TR-47.2 Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld Air Interface - Scope
Subcommittee TR-47.2, Digital Video
Broadcasting for Handheld Air Interface is
responsible for the development and
maintenance of downlink standards for a
subclass of terrestrial and non-terrestrial
mobile multimedia multicast systems based on
Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld devices
technology.
TR-47.2 specifications encompass, but not limited to transmission
system, implementation guides, validation of transmission systems
and appropriate ETSI documents related to Digital Video
Broadcasting for Handheld and Satellite Hybrid Devices. These
standards are intended to be employed by users and suppliers to
promote compatible and interoperable systems to support multicast
audio, video, and data requirements for a wide range of commercial
and public services.

Exchange of drafts and published standards
Participation rights (non-voting) but right to attend and
present at each other’s technical committees
Format for marking copyright ownership on distributed
documents
Have cooperated in areas of terminal equipment, IPR,
satellite, wireless, TM3, cordless, etc.
To actually USE (i.e., cut/paste) text into each other’s
standards requires written copyright permission
For more than 15 years, policy on both sides is grant of
such permission
Fostering worldwide interoperability
Examples: DVB-H and DVB-SH
TIA Engineering Committee TR-47 launched several
projects
Scopes were for Terrestrial Mobile Multimedia Multicast
Systems
One subcommittee, TR-47.2, desired a DVB-H type solution e.g.,
EN 302 304 (2004)
TIA requested copyright permission from ETSI
TIA published TIA-1105 in 2006, “Terrestrial Mobile Multimedia
Multicast based on Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld
Devices System” (http://tinyurl.com/b885gz)
In 2009, after GSC-13, TR-47 Revised its Scope and got copyright
permission from ETSI in May 2009, and developed TIA-1168 –
“Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Mobile Multimedia Multicast
based on Digital Video Broadcasting to Handheld Devices
Operating on Satellite, Terrestrial or Hybrid Networks at
Frequencies Below 3 GHz” (DVB-SH)
