Abstract

This paper described an Enhanced-xVSB system for improving mobile/pedestrian reception performance to the ATSC(Advanced Television System Committee) DTV 8-VSB transmission standard. E-xVSB system can transmit a mixture of normal (8-VSB) stream and enhanced (robust) stream. The robust stream has a higher threshold of visibility (TOV) compared to the standard stream, and legacy receivers ignore the robust packets. Thus, Enhanced-xVSB system is fully backward compatible with a current ATSC standard. For mobile and portable reception support, E-xVSB system adopts a reduced constellation methodas well as enhanced trellis-coded modulation scheme. E-xVSB system supports a variety of enhanced modulation schemes : Pseudo-2VSB, Enhanced-4VSB, modified Enhanced-8VSB and Hybrid-VSB. Proposed E-xVSB system performs well under serious dynamic multipath reception environment.

본 논문은 보행/이동수신 환경에서 기존의 ATSC(Advanced Television System Committee) 8-VSB DTV 전송규격의 수신성능을 개선한 Enhanced-xVSB를 제안한다. E-xVSB시스템은 normal(8-VSB) 스트림과 enhanced(robust) 스트림을 섞어 전송하며. robust 스트림은 기존의 8-VSB 스트림인 normal stream에 비해 모드에 따라 TOY(Threshold Of Visibility)를 만족하는 SNR을 획기적으로 개선시킬 수 있으며. 이와 같은 robust 스트림은 E-xVSB 전용수신기가 아닌 기존 수신기에서는 MPEG 스트림 역다중화 과정에서 누락되어지므로 기존의 8-VSB 수신기와 하위호환성을 유지한다. E-xVSB는 이동 및 보행수신 성능개선을 위해 reduced constellation 및 enhanced trellis coded modulation기법을 도입하였으며. 사용목적에 따라 Pseudo-2VSB. Enahnced-4VSB. Enhanced-xVSB 및 Hybrid 모드등 다양한 변조기법을 지원한다.
