IntroductionDVB-H
Modulation System DVB-H
2 Introduction
The R&S Signal Generator enables you to generate signals in accordance with the
DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting - Transmission System for Handheld Terminals)
standard.
To playback a signal from a waveform file created by the simulation software
R&S WinIQSIM2, the corresponding R&S WinIQSIM2 digital standard option must be
installed.
2.1 Modulation System DVB-H
The following block diagramm shows the components of the DVB-H transmission system.
In this release, only the high-priority input is available.
Fig. 2-1: Components of the Transmission System DVB-H
2.1.1 Pseudo Noise Scrambler
The MPEG-2 transport packet stream is organized in fixed packet length of 188 bytes.
This includes 187 data bytes and one sync byte.
9Operating Manual 1008.0970.12 ─ 16
IntroductionDVB-H
Modulation System DVB-H
The data packets of the input stream are transformed to a Pseudo Random Binary
Sequence (PRBS) in order to obtain a bit sequence that has a positive effect on the
transmitted RF spectrum.
The PRBS polynomial is specified as: 1 + x14 + x
15
The PRBS generator is loaded with the sequence "100101010000000" at the start of
every eight transport packet. To provide an initialization signal for the descrambler, the
sync byte of the first transport packet in a group of eight packets is bit-wise inverted
from 0x47 to 0xb8, whereas the sync bytes of the next seven packets remain 0x47.
After that, the PRBS generator runs continuously through the eight packets with a
PRBS period of 1503 bytes (8 packets * 188 bytes - 1sync byte).
2.1.2 Outer Coder
The outer coder is a Reed-Solomon encoder RS (204,188, t = 8). The RS coding is
applied to each randomized transport packet (188 byte) to generate an error protected
packet with a length of 204 bytes (188 randomized transport packets + 16 parity bytes).
With this RS code up to eight erroneous bytes can be detected in the transport stream
packet and corrected.
2.1.3 Outer Interleaver
The outer interleaver is an convolutional interleaver with I = 12 branches. Each branch
"j" is a FIFO shift register with depth j x 17 cells = 204 bytes.
2.1.4 Inner Coder
The inner coder is a punctured convolution code, based on a mother convolutional
code of rate 1/2 with 64 states. The inner coder encodes the input data, punctures certain bits to obtain higher code rates, and serializes the I/Q symbols to be transmitted.
10Operating Manual 1008.0970.12 ─ 16
IntroductionDVB-H
Modulation System DVB-H
The integrated puncturer removes bits from the redundant data stream. Puncturing
slightly impairs the characteristics of the code. The code rates that can be set are 1/2,
2/3, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8. The code rate can be selected according to the required transmission characteristics of the system.

2.1.5 Inner Interleaver
The inner interleaver consists of a bit-wise interleaving followed by symbol interleaving.
Both interleaving processes are block based.
In non-hierarchical mode, the input bit stream for the bit-wise interleaving is multiplexed into v sub-streams depending on the modulation mode with v representing the
number of bits/symbol:

IntroductionDVB-H
Modulation System DVB-H
Modulation Mode Sub-Stream v
QPSK 2
16-QAM 4
64-QAM 6
In hierachical mode, the high priority stream is demultiplexed into two sub-streams and
the low priority stream is demultiplexed into v-2 sub-streams.
The outputs of the v bit interleavers are grouped to form the digital data symbols, such
that each symbol of v bits will consist of exactly one bit from each of the v interleavers.
The purpose of the symbol interleaver is to map v bit words onto 1512 (2K mode),
3024 (4K mode), or 6048 (8K mode) active carriers per OFDM symbol. The symbol
interleaver acts on blocks of 1512 (2K mode), 3024 (4K mode), or 6048 (8K mode)
data symbols. Furthermore, for the interleaver is an in-depth mode available for 2K and
4K in which the interleaver always maps the v bit words onto 6048. This is described in
detail in chapter 2.2.1, "4K Mode and In-Depth Interleavers", on page 14.
2.1.6 Mapper
All data carriers in one OFDM symbol are modulated using either QPSK, 16-QAM, or
64-QAM.
Additionally, for the hierarchical mode, non-uniform 16-QAM and non-uniform 64 QAM
constellations are available with different values for parameter α. α ist the minimum
distance separating two constellation points carrying different HP-bit values divided by
the minimum distance separating any two constellation points. For non-hierarchical
transmission, the constellation is shaped as if α is 1.

2.1.7 Frame Adaption
The transmitted signal is organized in super-frames. Each super-frame consists of 4
frames.
Each frame contains scattered pilot cells, continual pilot carriers, and TPS carriers. The
pilots can be used for frame synchronization, frequency synchronization, time synchronization, channel estimation, and transmission mode identification.
Each frame consists of 68 OFDM symbols. Each symbol consists of a guard interval
and a useful part. The symbols in an OFDM frame are numbered from 0 to 67.
Fig. 2-3: OFDM frame structure
Each OFDM symbol is constituted by a set of carriers. The number of carriers depends
on the OFDM mode:
OFDM Mode No. of Carriers
2K 1705
4K 3409
8K 6817

IntroductionDVB-H
Extensions to DVB-T
2.1.8 Transport Parameter Signalling
The Transport Parameter Signalling (TPS) carriers are used to signalling parameters
related to the transmission scheme. The TPS is transmitted parallel on 17 TPS carriers
for the 2K mode, 34 carriers for the 4K mode, and 68 carriers for the 8K mode. Every
TPS carrier in the same symbol conveys the same differentially encoded information
bit.
The TPS parameter bits are described in chapter 3.3, "TPS Settings", on page 26.
2.2 Extensions to DVB-T
The Digital Video Broadcasting - Handheld (DVB-H) standard is based on the earlier
standard DVB-T, which is used for terrestrial digital broadcasting.
DVB-H provides features to meet the specific requirements for handheld, mobile terminals such as:
●
power off some part of the reception chain to increase the battery duration
●
ease access to the services when receivers switching to the next cell
●
migitate the effects of man-maid noise and severe mobile multipath channels on
the receiving capabilities
●
offer sufficient flexibility and scalability to allow reception of services at various
speeds
●
offer the flexibility to be used in various transmission bands and channel bandwiths
The basic technical extensions that make it possible to receive digital video broadcasting services on handheld terminals are:
●
4K Mode and In-Depth Interleavers
●
Time-Slicing
●
Forward Error Correction for Multiprotocol Encapsulated Data (MPE-FEC)
2.2.1 4K Mode and In-Depth Interleavers
The additional 4K mode is an trade-off between transmission cell size and mobile
reception capabilities to improve network planning flexibility. The 4K mode is suitable
for single transmitter operation and for small and medium single frequency networks
(SFN). It provides a Doppler tolerance allowing very high speed reception. The mobile
reception is faster compared to the 8K mode and the cell size is bigger compared to
the 2K mode.
The additional in-depth interleavers increase the flexibility of the interleaving for the 2K
and 4K mode. The depth of the inner interleaver is enlarged to four consecutive OFDM
symbols (2K) or to two consecutive OFDM symbols (4K).

2.2.2 Time-Slicing
The time-slicing module provided with DVB-H reduces the average power consumption
of the receiving handheld terminals and enables smooth and seamless service handover.
IP datagramms are transmitted as data bursts in small time slots using a significantly
higher instantaneous bit rate compared to traditional streaming bit rates. During the off
times (between the bursts), the receiving handheld is inactive and therefore using less
power.

Extensions to DVB-T
Fig. 2-5: DVB-H Time-Slicing
The point of time when the next burst is transmitted (delta_t) is indicated within the
burst currently being received.
Fig. 2-6: Next Burst Indication
Time-slicing enables a handheld receiver to stay active only for a fraction of time, that
is, when the burst is transmitted. Note that while the receiver is inactive between the
bursts, the transmission stream is constantly on, that is, the transmission stream is
never interrupted. Between the off times of a particular service, other services are
transmitted in bursts in a sequence.
16Operating Manual 1008.0970.12 ─ 16
IntroductionDVB-H
Extensions to DVB-T
In addition, time-slicing allows to use the receiver to monitor neighbouring cells during
the off times. Performing the cell switching during an off time enables a smooth and
seamless service handover.
Time-slicing is mandatory for DVB-H.
2.2.3 Forward Error Correction for Multiprotocol Encapsulated Data (MPE-FEC)
The MPE-FEC module provided with DVB-H impoves the carrier-to-noise (C/N) performance and the Doppler performance in mobile channels and improve the tolerance
to impulse interference.
This is accomplished by adding an additional Reed-Solomon code (RS 255,191) in
conjunction with a block interleaver. The MPE-FEC module provides a specific frame
structure; the MPE-FEC frame. The MPE-FEC frame consists of an application data
table (ADT) with 191 columns for the IP datagramms and an Reed-Solomon data table
(RDT) with 61 columns for the Reed-Solomon parity information.
The IP datagramms are introduced vertically column-by-column. Empty cells and columns are padded with zeros. The RS code is coded line-by-line: For each row of 191
IP datagramm bytes the 64 parity bytes are calculated, using the RS code. This provides a virtual interleaving effect, because all RS data bytes are calculated from the IP
datagramms.
After the coding is finished, the IP datagramms are encapsulated and transmitted in an
MPE section and the parity information data of each column in the RDT table are transmitted in an MPE-FEC section.
17Operating Manual 1008.0970.12 ─ 16
IntroductionDVB-H
Extensions to DVB-T
Fig. 2-7: MPE-FEC Packet/Frame Structure
Transmitting the IP datagramms and parity information data in separate sections
allows the receiver to choose whether to use the MPE-FEC feature or not. If the MPEFEC decoder is not implemented or if the feature is not activated in the receiver, the
transmitted MPE-FEC sections with the parity information data are ignored, that is, only
the payload with the IP datagramms is taken under consideration.
MPE-FEC is optional for DVB-H.
