Coding and Modulation for Digital Television presents a comprehensive description of all error control coding and digital modulation techniques used in Digital Television (DTV).

This volume presents high quality, state-of-the-art research ideas and results from theoretic, algorithmic and application viewpoints. The book specifically focuses on interaction with multimedia content with special emphasis on multimodal interfaces for accessing multimedia information.

The final part of the book examines the delivery of object-based multimedia presentations and gives optimal algorithms for multiplex-scheduling of object-based audio-visual presentations, showing that the audio-visual object scheduling problem is NP-complete in the strong sense.
