In recent years, even as PBS's science, drama and public affairs programs have been seen in their own dedicated time slots each week, other arts programs like "Great Performances" have bounced around the schedule, with productions heavily weighted toward New York and Washington.
Both systems transmit their signals in dedicated time slots (0.5 ms duration each) composed of 7 OFDM/SC-OFDM symbols.
However, when the interference is strong, exploiting alternative (indirect) links proves beneficial, either using a single or dedicated time slots during the relaying phase.
The choice of using simultaneous transmissions (DRCP) or dedicated time slots (DIV) during the relaying phase depends on the spectral efficiency constraints.
Different from the previous cases where all the symbols are transmitted in dedicated time slots, here, simultaneous transmissions through the indirect channels occur in the third time slot, generating interference to both RXs.
The major impact is however due to the thin time slicing of dedicated time slots allocated to each LP traffic flow as the number of flows increase in the network.
