With the aim of improving the quality and expanding the functions of digital terrestrial television broadcasting services, we have been developing an advanced transmission system that inherits key features of the current Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T) system, which employs hierarchical transmission based on frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and a segment structure. The advanced ISDB-T system has a new signal frame structure that enables bandwidth to be flexibly allocated to multiple services for different reception scenarios, such as fixed reception and mobile reception, compared with ISDB-T. By introducing transmission technologies such as the latest forward error correction and modulation scheme, this specification has high spectral efficiency and transmission robustness, i.e., the transmission capacity increases by about 10 Mbps for the same required carrier to noise ratio (CNR) in comparison with the current ISDB-T system, or the required CNR can be reduced by about 7 dB for the same transmission capacity. We describe the channel coding scheme and evaluated the performance of bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) in simulations. This paper provides a BICM selection guideline based on the simulation results for fixed reception scenarios toward the practical application of advanced ISDB-T.

Forward error correction (FEC) plays a vital role in digital communication systems. DVB-T system uses FEC as a channel coding technique to restore any data lost through transmission to the receiver. DVB-T system uses two levels of error protection. The first level is applied in the data transmitted by using a Reed-Solomon RS (204, 188) code followed by a convolutional interleaver. The other level of error protection is a punctured convolutional inner coding followed by an inner interleave in which the data sequence is rearranged again to minimize the influence of burst errors.This paper describes the implementation of inner convolutional codec (Convolutional coder and Viterbi Decoder) and inner de/interleaving of a standard DVB-T system with a constrained length of 7 and a code rate of 2/3 using VHDL on virtex-6 FPGA xc6vlx240t. The designed channel convolutional encoder and Viterbi decoder follow European Standard ETSI EN 300 744 for digital terrestrial television. Verification of the design is accomplished by loop back and by comparison with the corresponding Xilinx core. Utilization and timing re-ports of the implemented device on Vertex 6 are included.

Abstract. In bandwidth limited communication systems, the high data rate transmission with performance close to capacity limits is achieved by applying multilevel modulation schemes in association with powerful forward error correction (FEC) coding, i.e. coded modulation systems. The most important practical approaches to coded modulation systems are multilevel coding with multistage decoding (MLC/MSD) and bit interleaved coded modulation with iterative demapping and decoding (BICM-ID). Multilevel modulation formats such as M-QAM, which can be used as a part of coded modulation systems, have the capability of multilevel protection. Based on this fact, we investigate the methods to improve the performance of BICM-ID using multiple interleavers with different binary channel coding schemes such as convolutional codes, turbo codes and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Moreover, an MLC system with parallel decoding on levels (PDL) at the receiver is considered. In our contribution, we propose to design the individual coding schemes using the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts for individual bit levels in the constellation. Our simulation results show that the BICM-ID systems, taking into account different bit-level protections, can provide an improvement of 0.65 dB, 1.2 dB and 1.5 dB for 256-QAM with turbo, LDPC and convolutional codes, respectively. On the other hand, MLC systems with PDL designed using EXIT charts for individual bit levels can slightly improve the performance and eliminate the error floor compared to the systems with MSD.

In order to meet the demand for higher capacity transmission over optical fiber communication, we propose a new LDPC coded modulation scheme. Using spectrally-efficient modulation format and LDPC codes, the proposed scheme offers an advanced forward error correction (FEC) solution. From the simulation results, we can get the SNR at the bit error rate (BER) of 10-7 as 3.8dB, 5.5dB, and6.9dB when 16-, 32-, and 64-points constellations are used, respectively.

As the most popularly utilized broadcasting network, digital terrestrial television broadcasting (DTTB) can provide multimedia information coverage for the broad audience in a very efficient way because of its characteristic of wide-range coverage and mobile reception ability. After promulgating the first generation DTTB standard, digital terrestrial/television multimedia broadcasting (DTMB), in 2006, China began to research and develop the next generation DTTB standard, namely DTMB-advanced (DTMB-A), aiming to support higher spectrum efficiency and further improve transmission reliability. In 2019, DTMB-A was accepted by ITU as the second generation international DTTB standard (as System C). Similar to DTMB, time-domain synchronous - orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (TDS-OFDM) based multi-carrier modulation scheme is adopted by DTMB-A. Thanks to the more flexible frame structure, advanced error correction coding and improved constellation mapping, DTMB-A offers 30% higher transmission capacity than DTMB under the same transmission conditions. Thus, DTMB-A can support both fixed and mobile reception more efficiently, and provide users with higher quality services such as ultra-high definition television (UHDTV). This paper first gives details of key technologies at the transmitter of DTMB/DTMB-A and introduce core algorithms at the receiver. Both laboratory test and field trial results will then be provided and analyzed, especially for the application of 4K UHDTV and single frequency network (SFN).

AbstractRecently, using iterative decoding algorithms to achieve an interesting bit error rate for spectrally efficient modulation become a necessity for optical transmission, in this paper, we propose a coded modulation scheme based on bit interleaving circular recursive systematic convolutional (CRSC) code and 16-QAM modulation. The proposal system considered as a serial concatenation of a channel encoder, a bit interleaver and M-ary modulator can be flexible easy to implement using a short code length. For a spectral efficiency $\eta =3\text{bit}/s/Hz$, the coding gain at a bit error rate of 10−6 is about 8 dB.
