This paper presents an efficient demapper architecture based soft-decision using the phase-section for Digital Video Broadcasting via satellite, Second Generation (DVB-S2). To achieve the satisfactory performance under a very low SNR conditions with the efficient hardware resource utilization, we propose a simple soft-decision demapper architecture using comparators to compare the phase of symbols and memories. The proposed architecture can decrease about 81% of the hardware resource, satisfying the BER requirements of DVB-S2. It has been thoroughly verified with an FPGA board and R&S(R)SFU (Rohde&Schwarz SFU-K108) broadcaast test equipment.

본 논문에서는 전이중 통신 방식을 사용하는 DOCSIS 3.1 시스템의 자기간섭 제거를 위한 자기간섭신호의 채널 및 비선형 왜곡 요소를 추정하는 기술을 제안한다. DOCSIS 3.1 시스템의 전이중 통신 방식은 일반적으로 가입자 단말인 CM (Cable Modem) 과 케이블방송신호 송신 시스템인 CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) 사이의 상하향 통신을 시간/주파수의 분할 없이 동시에 수행하는 통신 방식이다. CMTS 에서 CM 의 신호를 수신함과 동시에 CMTS 신호를 송신하는 경우 고출력의 CMTS 송출신호가 CMTS 의 수신기로 인가되는 자기간섭 현상이 발생하게 된다. 이렇게 인가되는 자기간섭신호는 고출력 증폭기 (HPA: High - Power Amplifier) 및 Feedback 채널의 영향으로 크게 왜곡되어 수신된다. 따라서 자기간섭신호를 제거하고 CM 의 신호를 원활하게 복조하기 위해서는 자기간섭신호의 왜곡 요소룰 추정 및 보상하는 절차가 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 자기간섭신호의 HPA 에서 발생하는 비선형 왜곡 요소 및 Feedback 채널의 영향으로 발생하는 채널 요소를 추정하는 기술을 제안하고 성능을 분석한다. 제안된 기술은 간단한 연산기반으로 왜곡요소의 추정이 가능하며 반복추정을 통해 성능을 효과적으로 향상시키는 것이 가능하다.

The Digital Multimedia Broadcasting(DMB) system is developed to offer high quality audio-visual multimedia contents to the uses by the various portable terminals in the mobile environment. Integrated complex reception platform is required to receive multimedia broadcasting services transmitted from various transmission media. In this paper, we present the design and implementation technic for providing the both of terrestrial and satellite DMB services simultaneously using the same hardware platform. The implemented complex receiving terminal to accommodate these DMB services simultaneously need composed of it RF module. it baseband module, it complex control module and the complex de-multiplexer module. The complex control module is designed using uClinux operating system. The complex de-multiplexer, which perform the functions of the address decoder and each DMB stream de-multiplexer, is implemented. with FPGA device. The implemented platform is tested in a real environment and its performance is satisfied with required performance criteria.

This paper evaluates the performance and effectiveness of a layered coding scheme for an integrated mobile satellite systems, where the main target services are multimedia broadcasting and multicasting services (MBMS). In this integrated system, the satellite and complementary ground components (CGC) cooperate to provide high quality services. A layered coding scheme is a receiver driven adaptive schemes which adapts to the channel condition at the receiver. In this paper, we introduce a layered turbo coding scheme, and evaluates the performance in various scenarios, and discuss its effectiveness. The demonstrated results in the paper can be utilized in order to design an efficient integrated mobile satellite system, in the future.

ATSC terrestrial DTV system can support high data rates for HDTV(High Definition Television) service, but it suffers from significant performance degradation caused by multipath fading. Thus, it is necessary to analyze multipath fading effects in order to enhance the DTV reception performance. Generally, DTV channel profile can be obtained by auto-correlation between reference pseudo random signal and received DTV signal. However, in the ATSC terrestrial DTV system, the estimation performance of DTV channel profile may be decreased due to the VSB modulation features. In this paper, improved DTV channel profile measurement technique is analyzed and proposed.

Since DMB on-air was started, not high-qualified audio, video services but various service models have been required. This paper is about systems for one of these services, video associated data service. A terrestrial DMB system to make contents of video associated data services and transmit them on DMB channel is proposed in this paper. This system satisfies standard of the video associated data services for terrestrial DMB; MPEG-4 BIFS (BInary Format for Scene) Core2D scene description profile and graphics profile. This system is designed to support two major features of broadcasting, real-time authoring non automatic transmission and non real-time authoring automatic transmission, and focuses on the abilities to make high-qualified contents efficiently and transmit them to video encoder reliably. This system proved its performance through conformance tests with various receivers, so can be used in future on-air.

This study analyzed the properties of VHF band and suggested an efficient VHF band application plan for digital radio and UHDTV broadcasting through the experiment by the house T-DMB device in practical user environment. In order to find an efficient frequency band for digital radio broadcasting, this study examined first, to check the times of drop-out receive occurring in the audible area using a DMB/FM CAR Radio for T-DMB that has the characteristics of DAB. Second, this article explored the phenomenon of feedback loops in the same channel using a T-DMB house gap filler transmitting the signal by the same OFDM modulation scheme with UHDTV for configuring suitable SFN transmission network of the UHDTV broadcasting. Based on these experiments, this study suggested a suitable VHF band for digital radio and an efficient utilization of the VHF frequency band for the SFN network configuration of UHDTV.

The optimized mechanism provided stable performance of demodulation, tuned the level of signal, and had reduced the false reception ratio by the signal level difference. The analyzed algorism helped great performance and will be considered to apply broad system applications.

This paper presents the design of service model, transport channel, and service signaling for the Terrestrial DMB Automatic Emergency Alert Service (AEAS) Standard. The paper begins with the analysis of technical backgrounds related to the design topics. Next, the raper presents the design of service model for the AEAS. Since, unlike the regular T-DMB services, the AEAS is event-driven and common to all services, some problems have been identified to design a service model conforming to the T-DMB standard. So, the paper proposes a new concept, called the common service, and the AEAS is modeled using the common service. Next, in order to decide the transport channel for the alert information, the paper proposes to divide the alert information into the message which contains code/text-based essential information, and the supplemental multimedia information. Then, the paper tries to find the most efficient transport channels. Emergency Warning Service (EWS) which uses FIG 5/2 is selected for the delivery of the message. The paper proposes no constraints on delivery of supplemental information except that it shall use the MSC. Finally, it proposes the service signaling for the common service and transport channel. Due to the problems of conventional signaling using the MCI, it proposes a new signaling method. The paper will contribute as a guideline to the development for emergency alert service standards fur other broadcasting media.
