Time Slicing (digital Broadcasting)

Time slicing is a technique used by the DVB-H and ATSC-M/H technologies for achieving power-savings on mobile terminal devices. It is based on the time-multiplexed transmission of different services.

DVB-H and ATSC-M/H transmit large pieces of data in bursts, allowing the receiver to be switched off in inactive periods. The result is power savings of up to 90% - and the same inactive receiver could be used to monitor neighboring cells for seamless handovers.

Famous quotes containing the word time:

    No place of grace for those who avoid the face
    No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the voice
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
