Abstract

A Digital Broadcasting Satellite (DBS) receiver converts digital A/V streams received from a satellite to analog NTSC A,/V signals in real-time. Multi-tasking is an efficient way to improve the utilization of the processor core in real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach with a balanced trade-off between hardware kernel and multi-tasking programming to increase a system throughput. First, the schedulability of the critical hard real-time tass in the DBS receiver is verified by using a simple feasibility test. Then. several soft real-time tasks are thoughtfully programmed to satisfy functional requirements of the system.
