BS EN 62516-3 discusses terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) receivers with a focus on common API.
BS EN 62516-3 is the third part of the multi-series on T-DMB receivers that describes the T-DMB common application program interface (API).
BS EN 62516-3 provides a software platform that, when combined with the T-DMB O/S, forms a universal interface for application programs. This interface allows application programs to be written in such a way that they run on any T-DMB receiver unit, as described in IEC 62516-1:2009 and IEC 62516-2:2011 regardless of its manufacturer.
BS EN 62516-3 on T-DMB receivers is useful for:
The T-DMB receiver ASIC block represents the semiconductor hardware that provides the functionality of demodulating a T-DMB signal and retrieving data carried by the T-DMB physical layer.
BS EN 62516-3 provides a detailed description of each T-DMB common API. The API function prototype details are provided along with defined types needed by the T-DMB common APIs.
BS EN 62516-3 defines a software environment that allows multiple application programs to be interoperable on a single receiver unit by sharing the fixed resources of the receiver, and it provides a set of interfaces that the T-DMB middleware and the ASIC specific software use.
