Generation of media station previews using a secondary tuner
In one aspect, an example method includes (i) while a media playback device of a vehicle is playing back content received on a first channel, generating, by the media playback device, a query fingerprint using second content received on a second channel; (ii) sending, by the media playback device, the query fingerprint to a server that maintains a reference database containing a plurality of reference fingerprints; (iii) receiving, by the media playback device from the server, identifying information corresponding to a reference fingerprint of the plurality of reference fingerprints that matches the query fingerprint; and (iv) while the media playback device is playing back the first content received on the first channel, providing, by the media playback device for display, at least a portion of the identifying information.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO METER MEDIA CONTENT PRESENTED ON A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE
An example apparatus to monitor media that is presented via a mobile device includes: an application monitor to determine when media presentation software is being executed by the mobile device; and a metering information collector to collect at least one of a signature or a code of the media presented by the media presentation software based on the media presentation software being executed by the mobile device.
PROJECTION MODE FOR VEHICLE RECEIVER SOURCES
Examples of the present disclosure relate to a device, method, and system for integrating a projection mode of a user mobile device with a terrestrial tuner. In an example, the system may be a vehicle including a head unit and a vehicle projection stack to operate in the head unit. The system may also include a terrestrial tuner communicatively coupled to the vehicle projection stack to receive a terrestrial audio signal from a terrestrial source. The system may also include an audio driver to provide an audio signal to a vehicle interior where the audio signal is from at least one of the terrestrial audio signal and an internet audio signal received at the vehicle projection stack from a user mobile device located inside the vehicle interior.

ATSC 3.0 single frequency networks used for positioning navigation timing and synergy 4G / 5G networks
According to some embodiments, a method includes selecting a length for an advanced television system committee (ATSC) 3.0 frame for transmission by a single frequency network (SFN) transmitter and aligning the SFN transmitter with a global positioning system (GPS) epoch. The method further includes storing geographical coordinates of the SFN transmitter and a corresponding SFN transmitter identification (TX ID) in a database. The method also includes encoding the SFN TX ID in a non-coherent symbol of a plurality of positioning navigation timing (PNT) symbols comprising a plurality of coherent symbols and the non-coherent symbol with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) numerology to support positioning. The method further includes prepending the plurality of PNT symbols to the ATSC 3.0 frame to generate a modified ATSC 3.0 frame and transmitting the modified ATSC 3.0 using a SFN transmitter antenna of the SFN transmitter.
