| Abstract | This paper analyzes the effects of recent development in Over-The-Air (OTA) Television Broadcasting that will allow for new full duplex digital services to be offered in the band. On February 17, 2009, the analog terrestrial television system will have fully transitioned to digital in the United States ending an era of analog TV broadcasting; Canada is to follow in August 2011. At that stage, broadcast RF spectrum will be only occupied by Digital Television (DTV) services making possible the co-existence of other (non-broadcast) digital services resulting from the improved spectrum efficiency offered by digital technology. This recent development allows for new digital services to be offered mainly to rural and remote areas where broadband Internet Multimedia Services (IMS), available in the urban and sub-urban areas are unlikely to be delivered by standard means. In an effort to improve even more the efficient use of the spectrum, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) for the development of a Cognitive Radio (CR) type Unlicensed Device (UD) that would be deployed in the television band. These UDs would operate in the vacant DTV spectrum, known as "white space", thus fostering broadband access and IMS service delivery to end users. Concerns, however, have been raised by DTV broadcasters on the impact that these devices could have on DTV reception. To that end, studies were performed at CRC to quantify the level of interference generated by the Unlicensed Devices and their effect on DTV operations. The results from these studies will be presented in this paper and show that it is imperative that the UDs cognitive radio be able to detect and avoid channels being used by incumbents i.e., DTV and Cordless Microphones (CM). These cognitive radios will have to strictly abide by a set of rules such that harmful interference to the incumbents is avoided. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
