Abstract

The hybrid in-band on-channel (IBOC) transmission system as a digital audio radio scheme could transmit analog FM and digital audio simultaneously. In IBOC systems, broadcasters transmit signals within the allocated channel bands, so the bandwidth allocated for digital audio transmission is a big challenge. In view of the above, the use of cooperative game theory, supported by the use of the bankruptcy game and Shapley's value, is proposed as a strategy to optimize the bandwidth allocation at each node or station, according to the demand in the service, the number of stations and the radio channel conditions in the FM band. The paper proposes a scenario under saturated traffic conditions, in order to evaluate the degree of optimization that the Shapley value can perform under clearly established traffic and channel conditions. The evaluation process yielded a quite favorable result, where it is observed that the use of cooperative game theory supported by the Shapley value can be considered as an excellent alternative when performing bandwidth optimization processes for digital broadcasting over IBOC in FM and with the possibility of being implemented in other digital radio broadcasting systems.
