Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of transmitting data by radio signals from at least one first entity, wherein the method comprises the steps of: providing data to be transmitted by the first entity which establishes at least one data source; providing information concerning a data transmission rate for the first entity by a data transmission rate manager; adapting the data transmission rate dynamically based on the information of the data transmission rate manager by an encoder of the first entity; and encoding the data to be transmitted by the encoder. Further, a system for transmitting data by radio signals is described.

Abstract: A method and a device for forming a common transport datastream from several mobile-digital television signal datastreams and a common stationary-digital television signal datastream. A constant number of data units of respectively-constant size in every successive time interval with constant cycle duration for the transmission of every individual datastream is determined. A data structure is specified for the common datastream with successive sequences in each case of a constant number of data units with respectively-identical positions for data units of the stationary-digital television signal and respectively-identical positions for data units of the mobile-digital television signal. Data units of each of the datastreams of the mobile-digital television signal are transmitted in each case in associated, identical positions of at least one successive sequence, and define the individual positions of the data structure of the common datastream with data units of the respectively associated datastreams.

Abstract: A head station including at least two identical processing units supplied respectively with at least one identical input datastream in order to generate an output datastream, and an output bus system connected to the processing units for the exchange of output datastreams and status data generated in each of the processing units is provided. Additionally, within the head station, several decision circuits connected to the output bus system are provided for the selection of the output datastream to be transmitted in each processing unit in each case to a transmitter system.

Abstract: A method for improving the data rate of data for M/H receivers and for improving the quality of channel estimation in an ATSC-M/H transport data stream marks the transport data packets determined for the transmission of data for M/H receivers in N (e.g., 38) consecutively transmitted transport data packets in an ATSC-M/H-slot of the uncoded ATSC-M/H transport data stream originally determined for the transmission of data for stationary receivers. Coded data for M/H receivers are inserted in the marked transport data packets and introduce training sequences in segments of data fields of the coded ATSC-M/H transport data stream containing marked transport data packets.

Abstract: A transport data stream is generated by generating a data stream of successive second data frames with a GOP structure for each program containing image data of an image of an image sequence recorded digitally and belonging to the respective program by a source encoder. The transmission start, transmission period and transmission time are determined. At the start of first data frames, second data frames realized as P-frames or B-frames to be transmitted are replaced by second data frames realized as I-frames in each of the data streams belonging to a program and each first data frame of the transport data stream is packed with second data frames of data streams belonging in each case to one program whose transmission time fits the transmission start and the transmission period of the respective first data frame by means of a multiplexer.
