| Summary: | RGM 28/01 is research funded project entitled "Prediction Models for DTV (Digital Television) coverage in Singapore" approved by NTU in December 2001. The scope of the project work was to review the prediction models, quality of service (QOS) parameters and measurement techniques for obtaining QoS of mobile and Fixed DTV in Singapore. With the received signal strength, the objective was to design and package the software for predicting the coverage area for DTV in Singapore using commercial software tools and terrain data together with clutter classification for local environment. From the contents of the report, the research work has developed a suitable QoS parameters and measurement methods, procedures and analysis for verifying the QoS of DTV service in Singapore. The recommendations and technical work within is useful for the broadcast operators in the future. Finally, the research work has proposed several new models for DTV predictions including integrating a software package EDX making use of the terrain data, clutter classification and clutter factor for the local environment.
