A team of researchers from iTEAM-UPV supported by ORS has accelerated the implementation of several 5G-MAG Reference Tools components during a workshop hosted by ORS in Vienna.
The workshop (21st to 24th February, 2022) has served to develop an SDR prototype, more concisely a 5G Broadcast transmitter compliant with the 3GPP LTE-Based 5G Terrestrial Broadcast specifications. In addition, work was done to implement RaptorQ with BitRipple media delivery solution to enhance the robustness of the broadcast transmissions. The SDR prototype will be tested in the H2020 project 5G TOURS, under use case 4 (High quality video services Distribution).
The SDR prototype is available within the 5G-MAG repositories, specifically, in Reference Tools repositories (www.github.com/5g-mag). A demo is shown in the video below.
