COMBINING DAB + DIGITAL BROADCASTING TECHNOLOGY AND 5G TECHNOLOGY FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF AUDIO PROGRAMS CONTENT

Abstract

The option of distributing of digital audio broadcasting programs using traditional DAB + broadcasting technology and 5G mobile communication technology is considered. It is proposed to use the mobile network as a transport network to deliver content to low-power digital broadcasting transmitters operating as single-frequency network. A review of typical configurations of radio and mobile networks is done, and it is noted that using the high and medium power transmitter networks it is quite difficult to provide high-quality reception on portable and car receivers, especially in large cities with dense buildings. To eliminate areas where reception is absent, it is proposed to install additional low-power receivers, to which the content will be distributed via mobile networks.
