Page 8ETS 300 799: September 1997IntroductionThis ETS is one of a set associated with ETS 300 401 [1] describes the transmitted signal, the interfacebetween the broadcaster's transmitters and the listener's receiver. The associated ETSs describeadditional interfaces which can be used by broadcasters or network providers to build DAB networks.Figure 1 shows a DAB network in outline. For convenience, the Network is split into a number of differentparts, each managed by a different entity. The different entities are: the Programme/Data provider, theService Component provider, the Ensemble provider and the Transmission Network provider.NOTE:A Service Component provider may be generating a full DAB service or a componentof a DAB service. For the purposes of this ETS, the terms Service provider andService Component provider are interchangeable.Programme/Data providerThe Programme/Data provider is the originator of the audio programme or the data being carried withinthe DAB Service Component. The format for the output of the Programme/Data provider may take manydifferent forms and should be agreed between the Programme/Data provider and the Service Componentprovider.Service Component providerThe Service Component provider is producing one or more complete Service Components which can formthe complete DAB Service, but may not. The data from the Service Component provider will be of threedifferent types:-Service Component data which is to be inserted into the DAB Main Service Channel (MSC);-Service Information related to the Service Component data which is to be inserted into theFast Information Channel (FIC);-Other data, not intended for transmission, including status monitoring or control.The interface between the Service Component provider and the Ensemble provider is known as theService Transport Interface (STI) and is defined in EN 300 797 [2].Ensemble providerThe Ensemble provider receives a set of service components from one or more Service Componentproviders. He then formats the FIC, and generates an unambiguous description of the full DAB Ensemble.The ensemble description is passed to the Transmission Network provider via an interface called the ETIwhich is the subject of this ETS.Transmission Network providerThe Transmission Network provider generates the DAB Ensemble and transmits it to the receiver. Theoutput of the Transmission provider is defined by ETS 300 401 [1].In some cases, as an intermediate step, the Transmission provider may find it convenient to generate abase-band representation of the signal to be transmitted. The base-band representation, known as theDigital baseband I/Q Interface, is a set of digital samples defining the In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q)components of the final carrier. This interface is defined in EN 300 798 [3] and provides a convenientinterface between digital processing equipment and radio-frequency modulating equipment.SIST ETS 300 799:1999

Page 11ETS 300 799: September 19971ScopeThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) establishes a standard method for the distribution ofDAB signals between DAB multiplexing equipment, which may be located at the broadcaster's studiocentres, and DAB modulation equipment located at transmission sites.ETS 300 401 [1] established a broadcasting standard for a DAB system. Broadcasters who implementDAB networks require methods for transporting DAB signals, or the component parts of a DAB signal,between studio centres, where the programme or data service originates, and the transmitter sites fromwhich the signal will be radiated. The network of circuits connecting the studio centre to the transmitters isgenerally known as the Distribution Network.This ETS is applicable to Distribution Networks used in a DAB System. It describes the characteristics of asignal suitable for transporting a full DAB Ensemble, comprising a number of sub-channels and aformatted Fast Information Channel (FIC), between the DAB Ensemble provider and the Transmissionnetwork provider. The interface is suitable for use on a number of different physical media includingstandard 2 Mbit/s switched telecommunication networks. Provision is made for the inclusion of appropriateerror detection and correction and for the management of network transit delay. Limited capacity is alsomade available for signalling from the studio centre to other equipment in the distribution network.This ETS is not applicable to the distribution of DAB signals where the Service Information is available inany form other than as a complete, correctly formatted, FIC. The interface described is intended for useon unidirectional networks and this ETS does not cover the provision of status nor control information inthe reverse direction (i.e. from transmitters back to the Ensemble provider or any other central monitoringpoint).2Normative referencesThis ETS incorporates, by dated and undated references, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions to any of these publications apply to thisETS only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

EUREKA Project 147 (DAB**)
EUREKA Project 147 was established in 1987, with funding from the EC, to develop a system for the
broadcasting of audio and data to fixed, portable or mobile receivers. Their work resulted in the publication
of a European Standard, ETS 300 401 [1], for DAB which now has world-wide acceptance. The members
of the Eureka 147 Project are drawn from broadcasting organizations and telecommunication providers
together with companies from the professional and consumer electronics industry.

ETSI Project Team PT 84V
An ETSI Project Team was formed to produce this ETS describing the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
Ensemble Transport Interface (ETI). The work of the Project Team was based on studies carried out by a
EUREKA 147 Task Force on the definition of the ETI. The Project Team consisted of members of
European broadcasting organizations and the consumer and professional electronics industry who had
also been involved in the work of the EUREKA Task Force.

Introduction
This ETS is one of a set associated with ETS 300 401 [1] describes the transmitted signal, the interface
between the broadcaster's transmitters and the listener's receiver. The associated ETSs describe
additional interfaces which can be used by broadcasters or network providers to build DAB networks.
Figure 1 shows a DAB network in outline. For convenience, the Network is split into a number of different
parts, each managed by a different entity. The different entities are: the Programme/Data provider, the
Service Component provider, the Ensemble provider and the Transmission Network provider.
NOTE: A Service Component provider may be generating a full DAB service or a component
of a DAB service. For the purposes of this ETS, the terms Service provider and
Service Component provider are interchangeable.
Programme/Data provider
The Programme/Data provider is the originator of the audio programme or the data being carried within
the DAB Service Component. The format for the output of the Programme/Data provider may take many
different forms and should be agreed between the Programme/Data provider and the Service Component
provider.
Service Component provider
The Service Component provider is producing one or more complete Service Components which can form
the complete DAB Service, but may not. The data from the Service Component provider will be of three
different types:
- Service Component data which is to be inserted into the DAB Main Service Channel (MSC);
- Service Information related to the Service Component data which is to be inserted into the
Fast Information Channel (FIC);
- Other data, not intended for transmission, including status monitoring or control.
The interface between the Service Component provider and the Ensemble provider is known as the
Service Transport Interface (STI) and is defined in EN 300 797 [2].
Ensemble provider
The Ensemble provider receives a set of service components from one or more Service Component
providers. He then formats the FIC, and generates an unambiguous description of the full DAB Ensemble.
The ensemble description is passed to the Transmission Network provider via an interface called the ETI
which is the subject of this ETS.
Transmission Network provider
The Transmission Network provider generates the DAB Ensemble and transmits it to the receiver. The
output of the Transmission provider is defined by ETS 300 401 [1].
In some cases, as an intermediate step, the Transmission provider may find it convenient to generate a
base-band representation of the signal to be transmitted. The base-band representation, known as the
Digital baseband I/Q Interface, is a set of digital samples defining the In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q)
components of the final carrier. This interface is defined in EN 300 798 [3] and provides a convenient
interface between digital processing equipment and radio-frequency modulating equipment.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) establishes a standard method for the distribution of
DAB signals between DAB multiplexing equipment, which may be located at the broadcaster's studio
centres, and DAB modulation equipment located at transmission sites.
ETS 300 401 [1] established a broadcasting standard for a DAB system. Broadcasters who implement
DAB networks require methods for transporting DAB signals, or the component parts of a DAB signal,
between studio centres, where the programme or data service originates, and the transmitter sites from
which the signal will be radiated. The network of circuits connecting the studio centre to the transmitters is
generally known as the Distribution Network.
This ETS is applicable to Distribution Networks used in a DAB System. It describes the characteristics of a
signal suitable for transporting a full DAB Ensemble, comprising a number of sub-channels and a
formatted Fast Information Channel (FIC), between the DAB Ensemble provider and the Transmission
network provider. The interface is suitable for use on a number of different physical media including
standard 2 Mbit/s switched telecommunication networks. Provision is made for the inclusion of appropriate
error detection and correction and for the management of network transit delay. Limited capacity is also
made available for signalling from the studio centre to other equipment in the distribution network.
This ETS is not applicable to the distribution of DAB signals where the Service Information is available in
any form other than as a complete, correctly formatted, FIC. The interface described is intended for use
on unidirectional networks and this ETS does not cover the provision of status nor control information in
the reverse direction (i.e. from transmitters back to the Ensemble provider or any other central monitoring
point).
2 Normative references
