China has issued the national ground digital television channels transmission standard GB20600-2006 with independent intellectual property right in August, 2006.So far, Chinese ground standard becomes the 4th terrestrial DTV standard in the world.
Through development in a few years, terrestrial DTV has carried out the network coverage in national, provincial and important city and has carried out relevant business.Yet the scope of the terrestrial DTV network coverage is limited, and its coverage can be in tens kilometers, so can have following covering problem in the development of the terrestrial DTV network coverage:
1, owing to be subjected to the influence of landform, some regional network coverage meeting is using large tracts of land to cover the mode that covers by other frequency in the blind area on the basis;
2, adjacent two administrative regions or more wide zone be not owing to reasons such as frequency planning, distance, content construction use same frequency to carry out the construction of Single Frequency Network, thereby occur using a plurality of frequencies to carry out the situation that ground covers.
The characteristics of above-mentioned covering can occur in the terrestrial DTV network coverage afterwards frequently.For the terminal receiving equipment, owing to can move reception, the problem of another one network's coverage area will appear carrying out the transition to from a network's coverage area.The terminal receiving equipment from receive one the network video, data, services then receive video, data, services in the another one network, with continuous be this process that the user provides the terrestrial DTV service, be called " roaming ".

Digital television signal occur unstable, the error rate increases, under the situation of signal strength weakening, reception of souning out and present network cover the frequency of the use of exterior domain adjacent areas, if there are parameters such as signal and signal quality, intensity to meet the requirements, switch after then judging, to reach the purpose of roaming by imposing a condition.The passive type roaming has following shortcoming:
1, roaming is passive.Promptly the measure just taked under the bad situation occurred at network, this moment, the user obviously experienced the decline of service quality, mosaic occurred as video, and sound is discontinuous or data, services occurs pausing, loses or situation such as prolongation.
2, roaming might be unsuccessful.Because ground digital TV receiving terminal is to judge by some phenomenons, be problems such as network quality, judgement to the position of terminal self also can go wrong, and promptly has the situation that may not go out a network's coverage area and sound out, service impacting continuity and quality; Also having a kind of may be because the mistake of judging on opportunity, thus roaming of evening too early or excessively, and this angle from the user also is unsuccessful.
