Abstract
A method of adjusting the transmission station parameters in a digital video broadcasting network, includes determining, in at least one area element of a geographic area of interest, delays among signals received from a plurality of transmission stations; calculating, based on the determined delays, transmission delays to be applied to the transmission stations of the plurality, wherein the calculated transmission delays are adapted to reduce the delays among the received signals; and applying the calculated transmission delays to the transmission stations of the plurality. The choice of the timing parameters is based on a repetition of a random perturbation of a control parameter and the consequent evaluation of the result of the result obtained.
