The present document establishes a broadcasting standard for the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system designed for delivery of high-quality digital audio and video programmes and data services for mobile, portable and fixed reception from terrestrial transmitters in the Very High Frequency (VHF) frequency bands as well as for distribution through cable networks. The DAB system is designed to prov ide spectrum and power efficient techniques in terrestrial transmitter network planning, known as the Single Frequency Network (SFN) and the gap-filling technique. The DAB system meets the required sharing criteria with other radiocommunication services. The present document defines the DAB transmission signal. It includes the coding algorithms for multiplexing of audio and video programmes and data services, channel coding and modulation. Provision is also made for transmission of additional data services which may be programme related or not, within the limit of the total system capacity. The present document provides information on the system configuration which includes information about the ensembles, services, service components and linking of them. The present document describes the nominal characteristics of the emitted DAB signal. The aspects related to the receiver design are outside the scope of the present document.

The present document defines the XML schema data model for Service and Programme Information (SPI) and methods for delivery by broadcast digital radio - DAB and DRM - and IP. In respect to previous versions of the present document, hybrid radio provisions have been added to allow a seamless experience for users when consuming radio services delivered by digital radio broadcasting systems (DAB, DRM) or IP or a combination of both. The use of the present document allows content to be created once by the service provider for delivery by both mechanisms and allows manufacturers to implement devices with many common elements. It is envisaged that this data format could be used both for transmitting service and schedule data to SPI applications on devices and as the basis for exchanging information between service providers, network operators and content providers.

The document establishes guidance in implementation and usage of the functionality described in the STI standard EN 300 797. Subsets of the STI standard are defined in order to make interoperable solutions possible for different suppliers of STI devices. The subsets are called STI Levels. Interoperability is ensured if the STI Logical Interface (LI) and STI Physical Interfaces (STI-PI,X) are the same for entities transporting DAB Service Components, Service Information and control messages in a DAB collection network. The present document only particularises the Logical Interface (LI) layer of the STI, i.e. the syntax for STI-D frames and STI-C messages, to provide interoperability. The document defines a functional hierarchy of levels. Higher levels comprise lower levels. Three levels are specified where the highest STI Level does not comprise all STI functionality that could be implemented using EN 300 797. Some of the functionality is not included due to the fact that it is not assumed to be widely used. This functionality may optionally be added to any of the defined STI Levels. The document defines the minimum functionality an upstream or downstream entity shall provide on each level to be considered compliant with that level.

It does not suppose the exclusive use of a specific broadcast network but defines the commonly-required specifications among diverse broadcast networks. It includes the definitions of basic data formats, protocols to deliver data, to signal downloadable applications and to download them, ways to denote resources on broadcast networks, and detailed interfaces among receiver platform, broadcast and communication networks, and the applications.

This document describes the Intellitext DL extension, including structure and formatting of data and receiver and broadcast requirements. It also covers backwards compatibility with earlier versions of Intellitext.

This document provides a mechanism for the encapsulation of STI-D (see EN 300 797 [4]) and ETI (see ETS 300 799 [5]) compliant data streams for distribution over IP networks. EDI is based on the existing Distribution and Communications Protocol (DCP - TS 102 821 [2]), and therefore a layered approach relevant to unique IP network designs can be implemented. An EDI Packet represents a single STI-D or ETI 24 ms logical frame. In order to maximize efficiency across the IP network, unnecessary LI data (i.e. data formatted according to the STI-D or ETI "logical interface"), which can be reliably reproduced at the receiver is removed. The TAG Items are grouped to form a single EDI Packet, and passed onto DCP for Application Framing (AF).

The present document defines a backward compatible extension of the Dynamic Label feature used in Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) (ETSI EN 300 401 [1]).

This document defines rules of implementation for certain service information features. These rules have been developed to provide a reliable and consistent experience for digital radio listeners; they provide implementation details for how the FIC signalling is used and how receivers will interpret and behave in response to receiving the FIC signalling. The rules defined in the present document supersede the informative guidance given in TR 101 496 [i.1] for the FIGs contained herein. In addition, some clarifications are provided for EN 300 401 [1] where a number interpretations may appear equally valid: in each case this is mentioned specifically. Future versions of EN 300 401 [1] will be modified to include these clarifications.
