This document discusses the future of wireless telemetry technology and the applicability of licensed versus unlicensed frequency bands. It argues that licensed VHF frequencies between 218-219 MHz will be better suited for wireless telemetry over unlicensed spread spectrum frequencies. VHF waves can reach distances of 10 miles compared to a maximum of 1,500 feet for spread spectrum, and the infrastructure costs for VHF would be much lower. The document also outlines several potential markets for wireless telemetry like utility meter reading, oil and gas monitoring, and mobile asset tracking.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a framework to improve quality of experience and energy efficiency for heterogeneous wireless multimedia broadcast receivers. The framework groups users based on their device capabilities and channel conditions. It broadcasts scalable video streams that are encoded with different layers to support different groups. Time slicing is used to allow discontinuous reception and energy savings by turning radios off between bursts. A game theoretic model is used to optimize source encoding, transmission scheduling, and modulation/coding to maximize reception quality and network capacity while balancing energy usage. Evaluation shows the approach enables 75-95% energy savings.
The State of Smart TV: Automatic Content RecognitionTV[R]EV
TV Data For Our Times: Back when America watched TV via rabbit ears or a 25-channel set top box, a panel-based measurement system based on viewers keeping diaries seemed like a perfectly reasonable way to measure what people were watching on TV.
But it’s 2018, and few people watch TV the old fashioned way anymore. They’re
increasingly watching TV via apps on digital devices and smart TVs. And even if those
apps are owned by traditional networks and MVPDs, the programming that’s on them is not getting counted.
That’s why there’s so much excitement about the data collected via ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) off of smart TVs.

This will encourage upgrades to fixed infrastructure and have an overall pro-competitive impact on broadband markets.
5G technologies will change the way most high-bandwidth users access their phones. With 5G pushed over a VOIP-enabled device, people will experience a level of call volume and data transmission never experienced before.5G technology is offering the services in Product Engineering, Documentation, supporting electronic transactions (e-Payments, e-transactions) etc. As the customer becomes more and more aware of the mobile phone technology, he or she will look for a decent package all together, including all the advanced features a cellular phone can have. Hence the search for new technology is always the main motive of the leading cell phone giants to out innovate their competitors. Recently apple has produced shivers all around the electronic world by launching its new handset, the I-phone. Features that are getting embedded in such a small piece of electronics are huge.
Telcos prefer GPON over EPON for fiber networks due to technical and historical reasons. GPON was designed for phone networks to support both business and residential services. It also allows RF video signals to be transmitted over fiber. EPON is preferred by cable providers as it provides symmetrical bandwidth, important for cable applications. Ultimately the fiber network technologies are moving to all-IP transmission over point-to-point Ethernet connections.

1) Mobile operators are pursuing fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) using IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) platforms to deliver voice services over both fixed and mobile networks. However, as high-speed internet access comes to mobile phones, VoIP services will threaten mobile operators.
2) FMC allows mobile operators to leverage their large customer base initially. But as 3G data services and WiFi networking expand, VoIP providers like Skype will be able to directly compete.
3) To survive long-term, mobile operators must split their business into a mobile access provider and branded internet services, similar to how AOL transitioned from an integrated ISP/content provider. They need to develop internet brands now
Cellular Internet of Things white paperBjörn Ekelund
This document discusses potential future technologies for machine-to-machine (m2m) communications over cellular networks. It predicts that over 20 billion devices will be wirelessly connected by 2020 as part of the Internet of Things. Existing cellular technologies do not fully meet the needs of the mass IoT market, which requires ubiquitous connectivity, deep indoor coverage, very low-cost devices, and long battery life. The document proposes two options for a new cellular IoT technology: 1) evolving LTE to better support IoT needs or 2) developing a dedicated new radio access technology optimized for IoT. Either approach would need to provide the key characteristics of using licensed spectrum, supporting low-cost devices, very low power consumption, small pay

Mobile commerce has the potential to impact insurers' distribution channels and increase market valuation by enabling business transactions anytime and anywhere through the convergence of the internet, enterprise applications, and wireless technologies. It allows claims adjusters and medical practitioners to capture customer data on-site using mobile devices and complete transactions in real-time. The biggest benefit of mobile commerce may be new opportunities for cross-selling through remote custom product development with customers. Speech recognition and associated technologies will further drive mobile commerce adoption by enabling input and retrieval of customer data through wireless devices.

AWARN Alerting: An ATSC 3.0 Business Model
By John M. Lawson

Financial models project major upsides from broadcaster adoption of the next-generation television transmission
standard, also known as ATSC 3.0. Increased revenue derives from enhancements to broadcasters’ core
business, as well new services. Ironically, a new public service enabled by Next Gen TV — the Advanced
Warning and Response Network (AWARN) — is becoming the test bed for some of the same innovations that
will give broadcasters a new competitive advantage in the media marketplace.
When we launched AWARN development, we believed that ATSC 3.0 would revolutionize emergency alerting.
We soon realized that AWARN also could lead the way for new commercial applications for 3.0. That’s because
AWARN will be the first out-of-the-gate service that utilizes many of the key capabilities of 3.0, including: device
“wake up,” geo-targeting, robust indoor reception, interactivity, mobile video, and datacasting. Advanced
emergency alerting itself is one of the core “use cases” for the new standard.
The AWARN Alliance, a coalition of broadcasters and tech companies, has come together to develop and deploy
the service. The alliance has just completed its first 3.0 prototype, a rich-media Amber Alert. Tornado, hazardous
material, and active shooter alert demos are in production. We begin demonstrating these prototypes next month.
The Next-Gen Amber Alert
Leapfrogging the current 90-character Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) and the legacy Emergency Alert System,
the advanced Amber Alert can serve as a prototype for a range of new 3.0 services.
Amber AWARN Alerts will provide geo-targeted, rich-media content that consumers can instantly access at their
choosing, including pictures of the missing child and alleged abductor (if available), images of the make, model,
and color of the getaway car, a facsimile of the license plate, and maps indicating last seen location and direction
of the car. Local stations can insert their own news clips if they choose.
The wireless industry’s network architecture is not designed for rich-media, interactive messages, and the carriers
have fought FCC requirements to add them to WEAs. Next-gen TV broadcasters can incorporate these features
with a minimal commitment of bandwidth.
Test Bed For ATSC 3.0 Services
In the ATSC 3.0 standard, the Physical Layer’s “bootstrap” serves as the universal entry point that allows all
receive devices to process and decode information, and it carries the bits that can wake up devices. This
capability has obvious importance when disaster strikes, especially during off-hours.
AWARN also leverages other 3.0 capabilities that are essential for the Next Gen TV business model.
Geo-targeting is highly important for alerting. It reduces the problem of over-alerting, which leads to
complacency when real danger approaches. It also eliminates the need for TV station personnel to make the
agonizing call to run or not run an alert that only affects a subset of its viewers but which would interrupt
programming for everyone.
Geo-targeting is also a key to higher TV advertising revenue. Along with demographically-targeted ads, “zoned”
2. ads create sales opportunities for customers who many not want or need to reach the whole DMA. With 3.0, the
broadcaster will have the bandwidth to transmit any number of zoned ads simultaneously, perhaps at higher
CPMs because of their efficiency.
Signal robustness will bring back deep indoor reception for fixed and handheld devices. This capability is
extremely important for getting urgent alerts to all members of the family, including teens like mine playing online
video games with headphones in the basement.
Robustness also has major potential to accelerate cord-cutting and bring back over-the-air (OTA) viewership.
New “home gateway” products will receive 3.0 signals indoors, marry them with existing broadband in the home,
and retransmit the combined content to any WiFi-enabled devices within the home. Growth in OTA viewership
drives audience share for local stations, which in turn shifts local ad revenue from MVPDs to the stations. This
shift more than offsets the loss of cable subs and retransmission fees, according to financial analysis.
Interactivity solves a major challenge of current alerting. Social science tells us that providing too little
information in an emergency leads to “milling,” in which people delay taking action as they search for more
information or confirmation. Giving them too much information also leads to confusion and delay.
With AWARN, every device in the danger zone receives a banner alert, while rich-media elements, such as storm
tracks or evacuation routes, are downloaded from the TV signal in the background, accessible as needed through
an on-screen menu.
Interactivity also is the key to certain Next Gen TV business models. Non real-time media elements can be
downloaded along with a program from the ATSC 3.0 signal, which will allow viewers to interact with those
elements on their device offline. Or they can interact with online content available through the hybrid broadcast-
broadband network, or both.
Mobile video is a core feature of 3.0 that has enormous implications for both emergency communications and
the future of broadcast television.
The use of a WEA as a “Wanted” poster in the recent New York and New Jersey bombings generated headlines
and illustrated both the power of mobile alerting and the limitations of WEAs. Where the WEA could only give the
suspected bomber’s age, gender, and name and direct citizens to “see media for pic,” AWARN can
instantaneously deliver the suspect’s actual “pic,” plus surveillance video, maps, safety instructions, and one-click
links to report sightings.
The commercial potential of Next Gen TV mobile services is enormous. While infrastructure costs are higher, a
study commissioned by Pearl TV estimated the increased revenue from mobile video at up to $4.78 billion
annually (“ATSC 3.0 Seen Delivering Economic Boon,” TVNewsCheck, Nov. 12, 2015).
Datacasting is another powerful “dual-use” tool. IP-encapsulation of EAS alerts using ATSC was pioneered by
the Association of Public Television Stations and FEMA in the mid-2000s. AWARN takes it to whole new level,
sending a wide range of non-real-time files to an infinite number of receive devices. All of this content can be
downloaded to devices using the TV airwaves.
In commercial models, broadcasters can use 3.0 datacasting for “forward and store” applications, such as popular
pay-per-view movies. Machine-to-machine software upgrades in the Internet of Things can be “off-loaded” from
other networks very economically through Next Gen TV. Financial modeling commissioned by Convergence
Services, Inc. for an East Coast PBS station, using only a fraction of its bandwidth under FCC rules, could
generate nearly $6 million a year in new revenue by 2022.
AWARN also will pioneer the use of other capabilities of 3.0, including accessibility and personalization.
3. A Familiar Pathway For Innovation
Historically, public safety or military technologies have led to successful commercial products. For example,
location awareness technology, eventually GPS, was added to cellphones not though market forces but because
of FCC rules in the late 1990s, meant to ensure that 911 dispatchers could determine the position of distressed
callers.
Wells Fargo Securites equities analyst Marci Ryvicker, commenting at the Smart Spectrum Summit last
November, said AWARN was important to the business future of broadcasting because it would be a “real world”
demonstration of the power of 3.0 that investors could understand. We think she’s right: nothing is more “real”
than providing information when and where people need it to save their lives.
Smart Strategy
Supporting AWARN provides other benefits for broadcasters. As Hearst Television President Jordan Wertlieb
wrote earlier this month in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, advanced alerting with 3.0 offers the opportunity for
broadcasters to upgrade their communications lifeline to their communities.
FCC Commissioner Agit Pai has cited advanced alerting as a major reason that the commission should act to
allow the voluntary transmission of Next Gen TV.
AWARN also can hasten the day that broadcasters’ signals can be received on smartphones. The AWARN
Alliance does not advocate an ATSC 3.0 “tuner mandate,” but advanced alerting will create a powerful consumer
demand that even the wireless carriers cannot ignore. It also can solve a problem for the wireless carriers, which
have said the FCC’s timeline for upgrading WEAs is “technically unrealistic.”
AWARN Alliance Plans For 2017
The AWARN Alliance was launched earlier this year with the support of LG Electronics and its Zenith R&D Lab,
the Pearl TV joint venture, NAB, PBS, Sinclair Broadcast Group and its ONE Media joint venture, WRAL/Capitol
Broadcasting and technology companies Triveni Digital, Monroe Electronics and GatesAir. The alliance was a
signatory — along with NAB, America’s Public Television Stations and the Consumer Technology Association —
to the April Joint Petition asking the FCC to allow broadcasters to begin the voluntary transmission of ATSC 3.0.
In 2017, we aim to stand up “user groups” with public safety officials and broadcasters to operationalize AWARN
in time for the commercial and public television launch of 3.0. We invite all broadcasters and allied industries to
join us in developing AWARN and paving the way for Next Gen TV.
