The UK digital radio industry is conducting trials of Service Following on a number of important routes. Service Following is part of the minimum specification for vehicle manufacturers and vehicle aftermarket receivers. The trial involves the ensembles London 1, London 2, Berks & N Hants, Bristol, HBB & Northants, Swindon and West Wiltshire. Various scenarios are being tested.

• On the M1, the ensemble HBB & Northants is effectively an MFN, broadcast on Block 10D in the Herts, Beds & Bucks area and Block 10C in Northamptonshire. The two ensembles are co-timed and synchronised. According to whether the receiver is a single tuner device or dual tuner, Service Following allows seamless switching between the frequencies to take place.
• Along the M4, the service XFM is available from four different ensembles. The programme audio is identical and on each ensemble the service has the same SId. On each ensemble under test, the EIds and frequencies of alternative ensembles carrying XFM is transmitted. A receiver can determine when the signal falls before a set threshold and use this data to retune to the same service on an alternative ensemble.
• Along the M4, the service Heart is available from five ensembles. At certain times of the day, regional variations are broadcast. Along this route, six regional versions are available and each has its own SId. When the regional versions are broadcasting the same programme audio, a receiver can retune automatically to the best available alternative as it passes through the different coverage areas. For situations when regional variations are being broadcast, service linking information is broadcast on each ensemble so that the behaviour of the receiver and the preferred choice of the alternative signal is under the control of the broadcaster rather than taking place automatically.
• The FM and DAB versions of BBC London sometimes broadcast different audio. Service Following can be used to guide the behaviour of a receiver when passing through the Dartford Tunnel and using either the FM or DAB signal as an alternative to the other.
• Along the M4, the service Heart can be received on FM from various transmitters. At certain times of the day, regional variations are broadcast and during this time the FM PI codes change from the national value to regional PI codes. Service Following guides the behaviour of a receiver in switching between FM and DAB signals according to whether the national programme is being broadcast, or regional variations.

The Service Following trial is scheduled to run until December 31st 2014.

The UK regulator Ofcom has published the updates and amendments it intends to make to the Technical Code for digital radio in the light of its consultation earlier this year. DAB+ is now approved for use in the UK and up to 30% of the available capacity on the forthcoming second national commercial ensemble may be used for DAB+ services. This limit will be reviewed in 2018. Should operators of existing ensembles wish to use DAB+, any proposals will be considered by Ofcom on a case by case basis. Minimum bitrates for services are to be abolished, with Ofcom arguing that "there is no evidence to suggest dissatisfaction with the technical quality of platforms that are not subject to explicit technical quality standards requirements." Among other changes to be made, Ofcom will revise the approvals process for new transmitters. The revised Code will include requirements on DAB multiplexes that make use of traffic announcement/traffic programme (TA/TP) travel flags.

July 1st 2014

This will impact upon the coverage achievable in East Anglia, in Kent and along the southern coast of the UK. There is currently no allotment for the Channel Islands. Up to 30% of the available capacity may be used for DAB+ services. Other coding standards may be used for podcasts, but not for services delivered in real time. The closing date for applications is October 30th 2014 and Ofcom expects to make a licence award in early 2015.

Ofcom has published a consultation on proposed changes to its Digital Radio Technical Code and accompanying Guidance Notes.
The proposals would allow for the use of DAB+ on the future "D2" second national commercial multiplex, though this would not be mandatory. The use of DAB+ would initially be limited to 30% of the available capacity.
Ofcom believes competition between services and with other media provides effective self-regulation in matters of sound quality and therefore proposes to remove the minimum bitrate requirement. According to the consultation document, "there is no evidence to suggest dissatisfaction from consumers with the technical quality of content from platforms that are not subject to explicit technical quality standards requirements". Ofcom extrapolates this to mean that there is no need for minimum standards on DAB either.
Ofcom proposes that all DAB/DAB+ broadcasts should use UEP3 or EEP3 as appropriate. Broadcasters may use greater error protection if they wish, but any subsequent reduction in error protection may be subject to consultation. Under Ofcom's proposals, broadcasters would not be permitted to reduce error protection to UEP 4 or 5, but doesn't mention whether services already using those protection levels would be permitted to continue doing so.
Ofcom proposes to dissolve the Memorandum of Understanding that was agreed with broadcasters relating to the introduction of new transmitters. The MoU was designed to ensure that new transmissions did not cause interference to neighbouring ensembles using the same frequency, nor punch unacceptable holes in the coverage of other ensembles in the same area. As the roll-out of DAB continues, more sites will be required and Ofcom proposes a more streamlined approach to the approvals process, details of which are included in an Annex.
Ofcom proposes to advertise the second national commercial multiplex in the second quarter of 2014.
