Abstract

A media access control (MAC) layer controller can manage base layer data and enhancement layer data in a layered modulation system. The MAC layer controller can process both base layer data and enhancement layer data and map the encoded symbols to a layered modulation constellation when both are present. If data for one of the layers terminates, then the MAC layer controller can generate and supply predetermined stuffing data to the layer lacking additional data. The MAC layer controller can send a control signal to the physical layer hardware to cause the hardware to map the layered signals having the stuffing data to a modified signal constellation. The MAC controller can also generate an overhead message that indicates the occurrence of the stuffing data. The receiver can receive the overhead message and can use the information to configure the receiver for the layered modulation constellation or the modified signal constellation.

Basic unit and enhancement layer can be configured to work basically independently.The basic independence that independently is meant the data that this carries on two-layer.Support each communication layers of upper strata and the physical layer of these two modulating layers can have one or more.But basic unit and enhancement layer are independently basically, because the information of carrying on layer does not rely on the information that provides on another layer.
In another embodiment, logic channel can time-multiplexed a plurality of independently hierarchical modulation streams.Each stream can not rely on other any stream, and one or more streams of distributing to this logic channel can stop to generate individual-layer data, and other stream still continues to generate individual-layer data.

User terminal 110 is communicated by letter with the one or more base station 120a or the 120b that are depicted as branch sectorized cell tower at this usually.User terminal 110 will provide that base station of strongest signal strength usually with the receiver place in user terminal 110---for example 120b---communicates by letter.
Base station 120a and 120b can be coupled to base station controller (BSC) 130 separately, and these BSC 130 routes are travelled to and fro between the signal of communication of suitable base station 120a and 120b.BSC 130 is coupled to mobile switching centre (MSC) 140, and this MSC 140 can be configured to come work as user terminal 110 and the interface of public switch telephone network (PSTN) between 150.MSC also can be configured to come work as the interface between a user terminal 110 and the network 160.Network 160 can be for example Local Area Network or wide area network (WAN).In one embodiment, network 160 comprises the internet.Therefore, MSC 140 is coupled to PSTN 150 and network 160.MSC140 also can be coupled to one or more source of media 170.Source of media 170 can be the media library of supplied user terminal 110 visits that for example provided by systems provider.For example, systems provider can provide the video that can supply user terminal 110 on-demand access or the medium of certain other form.MSC 140 also can be configured to coordinate and the system of other communication system (not shown) between change hand.
In one embodiment, base station 120a and 120b can be configured to send layered modulation signal to user terminal 110.For example, base station 120a and 120b can be configured to send the multicast signals that can be directed to user terminal 110 and other receiver (not shown).Layered modulation signal can comprise the base layer signal of sane configuration and under low link allowance, work and thereby the enhancement layer signal more responsive to the variation in the channel.Enhancement layer can be configured to the data of in basic unit, supplying with supplementary data is provided, or the independent data with low quality of service requirement is provided.
Wireless communication system 100 also can comprise the broadcast transmitter 180 that is configured to send to user terminal 110 layered modulation signal.In one embodiment, broadcast transmitter 180 can be associated with base station 120a and 120b.In another embodiment, broadcast transmitter 180 can be different from and be independent of the radio telephone system that comprises base station 120a and 120b.Broadcast transmitter 180 can be but be not limited to be audio transmitter, video transmitter, radio transmitter, television transmitter, and is like that, perhaps certain combination of these transmitters.
Although in wireless communication system 100, only show a broadcast transmitter 180, wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support a plurality of broadcast transmitters 180.A plurality of broadcast transmitters 180 can send signal in overlapping overlay area.User terminal 110 can receive the signal from a plurality of broadcast transmitters 180 concomitantly.These a plurality of broadcast transmitters 180 can be configured to broadcast identical, different or similar broadcast singal.For example, second broadcast transmitter of the covering area overlapping of the overlay area and first broadcast transmitter also can be broadcasted the partial information that first broadcast transmitter is broadcasted.
Broadcast transmitter 180 can be configured to receive the data from broadcast media sources 182; And can be configured to these data of hierarchical coding; Based on this hierarchical coding data-modulated one signal, and this layered modulation signal is broadcast to the coverage that this signal can be received by user terminal 110.Broadcast transmitter 180 can generate for example base layer data and enhancement data from the data that are received from broadcast media sources 182.
If enhancement layer does not carry the redundant data of data entrained in the basic unit, then this hierarchical modulated data configuration will be favourable.In addition, receiver can not cause loss of service by decoding enhancement layer.For example, basic unit can be configured to broadcast the video under the normal video resolution, and enhancement layer can provide the resolution of raising receiving video signals or the additional data of SNR.In another embodiment, basic unit can be configured to provide the signal with predetermined quality, and such as the vision signal under the 15 frame per seconds, and enhancement layer can be configured to replenish entrained information in the basic unit.For example, enhancement layer can be configured to carry the information that is used to support the vision signal under the 30 frame per seconds.In this configuration, can not cause the signal of low resolution, lower signal quality or SNR by decoding enhancement layer data, but can not cause losing fully of signal.
User terminal 110 can be configured to the demodulated received signal and the basic unit of decoding.The standard that receiver in the user terminal 110 can be used as the base layer decoder device partly realizes error control mechanism.Receiver in the user terminal 110 can use the error control mechanism of base layer decoder device to confirm the probability of successful decoding enhancement layer.Receiver in the user terminal 110 can determine whether to want decoding enhancement layer based on statistics that generates in the error control mechanism that uses in the base layer decoder or tolerance then.
In another embodiment, user terminal 110 can be configured to decode basically concomitantly basic unit and enhancement layer, and when decoding enhancement layer, does not rely on base layer information.For example, user terminal 110 can be configured to confirm single decoder threshold value, and when decoding basic unit and enhancement layer, uses this single decoder threshold value.This decoder threshold value can be based in part on the characteristic of hierarchical modulated data.For example, this decoder threshold value can be based on power or the energy ratio of enhancement layer with basic unit.This decoder threshold value also can be based in part on the expectation error rate, such as symbol error rate, BER, packet error rate or FER etc.This decoder threshold value can be fixed, or can change based on the expectation that for example changes or the hierarchical modulated data characteristic of variation.
Fig. 2 A illustrates the planisphere of signal map module operable possibility constellation when shining upon basic unit and enhancement data to 2C.In one embodiment, this signal map module is selected a constellation based on the control input that is received from MAC layer controller.Fig. 2 A does not limit the type constitution of the constellation that can in hierarchical modulation system, use to these planispheres shown in the 2C, but provides as the example of an embodiment of two-layer modulating system on the contrary.
Fig. 2 A is the planisphere 260 of an embodiment of particular hierarchical modulation realization.The planisphere 260 of Fig. 2 A comes down to a 16-QAM constellation, and wherein base layer data is mapped to this constellation one particular quadrant, and enhancement layer is mapped to the ad-hoc location in this constellation.16-QAM constellation 260 need not have consistent interval but can be modified to, and different intervals is arranged between the closest approach in different quadrants as one man at interval in each quadrant.In addition, some points in this constellation can be about the mid point mirror image symmetry of this quadrant.
The input of signal map piece comprises 2 bit (b from basic unit 1b 0) and from 2 bit (e of enhancement layer 1e 0).Base layer stream is launched to compare higher power level with enhancement layer stream, and energy than r satisfied below the relation:
r = α 2 β 2 .
Through average constellation being put energy (=2 α 2+ 2 β 2) normalizing to 1, α and β utilisable energy than the formal representation of r do
α = r 2 ( 1 + r )
β = 1 2 ( 1 + r )
A plurality of tones in the same logic channel of one ofdm system can use identical energy ratio, and wherein a logic channel can comprise the one or more tones from this OFDM sets of tones.But the energy ratio can change between logic channel.Therefore, the signal map piece can be mapped to various constellations than with identical data according to energy, and wherein constellation is according to the decision of energy ratio.Thus, an OFDM code element can comprise a plurality of physical channels.The tone of one particular physical channel with respect to same OFDM code element in the corresponding tone of another logic channel can have the different energy ratio.
For example, a signal map piece can be configured to basic unit and enhancement data are mapped to one of two constellations, at this this two constellations corresponding to energy than 4 and 9.Notice that this layered modulation signal constellation is followed the Gray mapping, and the signal constellation (in digital modulation) that is used for hierarchical modulation equals to be equivalent to the signal constellation (in digital modulation) of 16-QAM at 4 o'clock than r at energy.
Fig. 2 B is another embodiment 270 of planisphere.The planisphere 270 of Fig. 2 B is corresponding to the QPSK constellation, and supports each code element 2 bit.Thus, when this 2 bit source from one deck the time, the planisphere 270 of Fig. 2 B is not supported hierarchical modulation.In one embodiment, the distance between these constellation point is adjustable to obtain energy than 1.
Fig. 2 C is another embodiment 280 of planisphere.The planisphere 280 of Fig. 2 C comprises 4 constellation point of the planisphere 260 that is selected from Fig. 2 A.These constellation point of planisphere 260 that are selected from Fig. 2 A are corresponding to maximized four constellation point of minimum range that make between any two adjacent constellation point.Certainly, can use other criterion to select other constellation point, or can in this system, use other certain planisphere.
Fig. 3 is the functional block diagram of an embodiment that is arranged to the transmitter 300 of a hierarchical modulation system.In one embodiment, transmitter 300 can use the broadcast transmitter of Fig. 1 system to realize.The transmitter 300 of Fig. 3 can be arranged to the OFDM (OFDMA) of use Fig. 2 B constellation or the hierarchical modulation in OFDM (OFDM) system.
Transmitter 300 can be configured to when base layer data and enhancement data all exist base layer data and enhancement data are mapped to the planisphere of Fig. 2 A.Transmitter 300 can be configured to when enhancement layer stops or no longer is provided for transmitter 300, select a replacement constellation, such as one of constellation of Fig. 2 B or 2C.
But that the transmitter 300 shown in Fig. 3 is represented is an embodiment, limits and disclosed apparatus and method are not constituted.For example, single-carrier system can be modulated with hierarchical modulated data, and corresponding decoder can be configured to the single carrier wave with hierarchical modulation is operated in the receiver.
Transmitter 300 can comprise similar basically basic unit and enhancement layer processing block 310 and 320 respectively.Base treatment piece 310 can be configured to base layer data is processed into required modulation format, for example QPSK.Enhancement layer processing block 320 can be configured to enhancement data is processed into required modulation format, for example QPSK similarly.
Base treatment piece 310 receives corresponding data with enhancement layer processing block 320 from the source encoder (not shown), and this source encoder can be the broadcast media sources of Fig. 1.Enhancement layer processing block 320 also can be configured to when the source encoder (not shown) stops to provide the enhancing data, receive padding datas from MAC layer controller 400.
In one embodiment, base layer data and enhancement data can comprise certain combination of vision signal, audio signal or video and audio signal.Video/audio signal in the basic unit is corresponding to reproduce the required data of basic service quality at the receiver place.Video/audio signal in the enhancement layer is corresponding to generate the more required additional data of enhanced quality-of-service at the receiver place.Therefore, the user of two layers (basic unit and enhancement layer) of can decoding can enjoy the video/audio signal of abundant enhanced quality to the full, and the user of the basic unit of can decoding can obtain the video/audio signal of minimum quality.
Inner separately at base treatment piece 310 and enhancement layer processing block 320, data are coupled to Reed Solomon encoder 301 or 311 to carry out block encoding.Reed Solomon encoder 301 and 311 output are coupled to corresponding turbo encoder 303 and 313. Turbo encoder 303 and 313 can be configured to come data are carried out the turbo coding according to the predictive encoding rate.This encoding rate can be fixed, and maybe can from a plurality of encoder rate, select.For example, turbo encoder 303 and 313 can be configured to provide 1/3,1/2 or 2/3 encoding rate independently.
Turbo encoder 303 and 313 output are coupled to corresponding bit interleaver 305 and 315 to improve anti-burst error ability.Bit interleaver 305 and 3 15 output are coupled to corresponding time slot allocation module 307 and 317.Time slot allocation module 307 and 317 can be configured to make code symbols and predetermined time slot---such as be the time slot that interweaves in time division multiplex system---time unifying.Time slot allocation module 307 and 317 output are coupled to corresponding scrambler 309 and 319.Encode basic unit and enhancement layer code element have been represented in scrambler 309 and 319 output.
Code element from these two layers is combined at signal mapper 330 places.Signal mapper 330 can be configured to basic unit and enhancement layer symbol mapped in the constellation specified point to carry out hierarchical modulation.For example, signal mapper 330 can be configured to one or more basic units code element together with a single point of one or more enhancement layer symbol mapped in the layered modulation constellation.Signal mapper 330 can be configured to each logic channel be mapped to one have a predetermined power ratio constellation.But the different logical channel can be mapped to the constellation with different-energy ratio.
The output of signal mapper 330 is coupled to time-interleaved device 340, and this time-interleaved device 340 is configured to institute's mapped constellation points particular time-slot in the logic channel that interweaves.As previously mentioned, this system can realize the time division multiplexing configuration, and is time-multiplexed with a plurality of other hierarchical modulation streams on the same logic channel at this single hierarchical modulation stream.The set of signal flow can be by time-interleaved, or use such as scheduled time multiplexing algorithms such as circulation (round robin) distribution by time-multiplexed.
The output of time-interleaved device 340 is coupled to sub-carrier allocation module 350.This sub-carrier allocation module can be configured to give every group of time-interleaved logic channel with one or more tones, frequency or sub-carrier allocation from an OFDM tone sets.Distribute to the scope of the subsets of subcarriers of one group of time-interleaved logic channel can be from a channel to a plurality of subcarriers until all available subcarriers.Sub-carrier allocation module 350 can be mapped to a subsets of subcarriers according to a pre-defined algorithm one group of logic channel that serial is time-interleaved.This pre-defined algorithm can be configured to distribute these logic channels with the persistence mode, maybe can be configured to come assigning sub-carriers according to hop algorithm.
The output of sub-carrier allocation module 350 is coupled to OFDM code element module 360, and this OFDM code element module 360 is configured to come modulating subcarrier based on the hierarchical modulation code element of being distributed.Modulated OFDM subcarrier from OFDM code element module 360 is coupled to IFFT module 370, and this IFFT module 370 can be configured to generate an OFDM code element and at the rear portion or the Cyclic Prefix of anterior additional predetermined length.
OFDM code element from IFFT module 370 is coupled to dressing stick 380, this OFDM code element can be by shaping, slicing, window, or carry out other processing.The output of dressing stick 380 is coupled to transmitting RF processor 390 and launches to be transformed into the expectation working band.For example, the output of transmitting RF processor 390 can comprise or be coupled to an antenna (not shown) to carry out wireless transmit.
When the source encoder (not shown) when corresponding processing block 310 and 320 provides base layer data and enhancement data, MAC layer controller 400 control signal mappers 330 with basic unit's code element and enhancement layer symbol mapped to first constellation such as the planisphere of Fig. 2 A.When the source encoder (not shown) stopped or stopping providing the enhancing data, MAC layer controller confirmed the enhancement data disappearance.MAC layer controller 400 generates padding datas and to the input of enhancement layer processing block 320 this padding data is provided.MAC layer controller 400 randomly control signal mapper 330 so that base layer data and the enhancement data with padding data are mapped to second constellation such as the constellation of Fig. 2 B or 2C.
Because enhancement layer processing block 320 comprises Reed Solomon encoder 311, bit interleaver 315 and scrambler 319, the order of enhancement layer code element is inconsistent with the order of the enhancement data of being imported probably.Thus, MAC layer controller 400 can be configured to be controlled at preset time, occasion, at interval or incident---such as after accomplishing with the Reed-Solomon piece of scrambler once interweaving---and the constellation change of control signal mapper 330.
In another transmitter 300 embodiment, enhancement layer processing block 320 can omit bit interleaver 315 and scrambler 319.In this embodiment, the output of Reed-Solomon encoder 311 is coupled to turbo encoder 313, and can be assigned to a particular time-slot through the turbo coded data.In this embodiment, MAC layer controller 400 can be configured to the constellation of the approximately consistent moment control signal mapper 330 of padding data.
The receiver that receives the transmission of a part that only has Reed Solomon code block can use with the local regeneration of MAC layer controller 400 employed identical algorithms padding data and generate padding data.The local padding data that generates can be used for helping recovering the base layer data that received.Thus, receiver does not require the transmission of padding data, and need not handle and the corresponding reception signal of padding data.
MAC layer controller 400 generates an overhead messaging to pass on the change of signal constellation (in digital modulation) or comprising of padding data.In one embodiment, MAC layer controller 400 can generate an overhead messaging, and this overhead messaging sends on overhead channel.In another embodiment, MAC layer controller 400 can be configured to this packets of information is contained in the header of following modulated stream.This header can be indicated the for example length of enhancement data, and indicates thus the initial of padding data.
In one embodiment, MAC layer controller 400 can be configured to generate at random or the pseudorandom padding data.MAC layer controller 400 also can be configured to same constellation is used in layering and non-layered data.In this embodiment, receiver is not benefited from the use of padding data, the part of the enhancement data of Reed-Solomon coding only if this padding data can be used to assist to decode.
In another embodiment, MAC layer controller 400 can be configured to when generating padding data, use the constellation of Fig. 2 B.In this embodiment, signal mapper 330 arrives the QPSK constellation point with basic unit's symbol mapped.Signal mapper 330 has been ignored padding data in fact.
In another embodiment, MAC layer controller 400 selects padding data to keep the constellation of Fig. 2 C based on base layer data.But this embodiment possibly need the significantly signal processing of increase, because when generating padding data, need consider the effect of Reed Solomon encoder 313, bit interleaver 315 and scrambler 319.
Fig. 4 is the simplification functional block diagram of an embodiment of the MAC layer controller 400 shown in the transmitter of Fig. 3.MAC layer controller 400 comprises the enhancing data detector 410 that is coupled to padding data maker 420, overhead messaging maker 430 and constellation controller 440.
Strengthen data detector 410 and can be configured to directly keep watch on the enhancement layer source to keep watch on the appearance of enhancement data.Alternatively perhaps replenish ground, strengthening data detector 410 can be from receiving the control messages that is near completion or stops to enhancing data detector notice enhancement data such as upper grade logic layer such as application layer or network layers.
In case confirm that enhancement data stops or disappearance, strengthen data detector 410 and promptly start padding data maker 420.Padding data maker 420 generates the predetermined filling data sequence, and this padding data is coupled to the input of enhancement layer processing block.The enhancement layer processing block need not this padding data of actual coding, because this data represented dummy data.But, make the enhancement layer processing block handle this padding data and can simplify the hardware realization.
Padding data maker 420 can generate for example predetermined sequence, such as complete 1, complete 0 or preassigned pattern.In another embodiment, padding data maker 420 can use such as predetermined maker algorithms such as multinomials and generate padding data.Padding data can be at random or pseudo random sequence.
Strengthen data detector 410 and also can start overhead messaging maker 430, this overhead messaging maker 430 is configured to generate the indication padding data and is comprised in interior overhead messaging.Because signal mapper is the actual coding padding data not, so overhead messaging is important for receiver receives data.
Strengthen also may command constellation controller 440 of data detector 410, this constellation controller 440 is configured to the employed signal constellation (in digital modulation) of control signal mapper.In certain embodiments, constellation controller 440 can be omitted, and layering and non-layered data are used same constellation.In other embodiments, hierarchical modulation is used first layered modulation constellation, and the non-layered data are used the second non-layered constellation.
Fig. 5 is the simplification functional block diagram of an embodiment of receiver 500.Receiver general execution and the complementary operation of transmitter operation.
Receiver 500 comprises reception RF processor, and this reception RF processor is configured to receive the OFDM code element of these transmitting RF, and they are handled and become baseband OFDM code element or frequency conversion to become basic their frequency conversions is baseband signal.If from the frequency shift (FS) of baseband signal is a remnant of signal bandwidth, if perhaps signal is sentenced permission this signal of direct processing and further frequency conversion at enough low intermediate frequency, then this signal can be called as the basic baseband signal that is.OFDM code element from receiving RF processor 510 is coupled to FFT module 520, and this FFT module 520 is configured to these OFDM symbol transformations to these hierarchical modulation frequency domain subcarrier.
FFT module 520 can be configured to being coupled to channel estimator 530 such as predetermined one or more subcarriers such as pilot subcarrier.These pilot subcarriers can be for example equally spaced one or more groups OFDM subcarriers.Channel estimator 530 is configured to utilize these pilot subcarriers to estimate receiving influential each channel of OFDM code element.In one embodiment, channel estimator 530 can be configured to confirm and the corresponding channel estimating of each subcarrier.The channel estimating at one certain subcarriers place can be used as the for example channel estimating of the contiguous subcarriers such as those subcarriers in the predetermined coherence bandwidth of pilot subcarrier.
Subcarrier and these channel estimating from FFT module 520 are coupled to subcarrier symbol deinterleaver 540.The modulation that symbol de-interleaver 540 can be configured to reverse and carried out by the sub-carrier allocation module of Fig. 3.Symbol de-interleaver 540 also can be configured to generate decoder control signal.Symbol de-interleaver 540 can generate this decoder control signal based on the existence of the notice padding data that is for example sent by transmitter and the overhead messaging of position.Symbol de-interleaver 540 can be coupled to el decoder with the el decoder of when this overhead messaging indication enhancement layer only comprises padding data, optionally stopping using with this decoder control signal.This decoder control signal also can be used for optionally generating padding data, and this padding data be appended to the enhancement layer code element that received or decoded enhancement data to assist the carrying out of decode procedure by el decoder.For example, el decoder can generate padding data, and can this padding data be appended to enhancement data to assist the carrying out of error correction and error detection at Reed Solomon decoder place.
Receiver 500 is configured to each OFDM subcarrier or tone are carried out base layer decoder and enhancement layer decoder.For clear with for simplicity, Fig. 5 shows a kind of single base layer decoder device and el decoder.
This base layer decoder device and el decoder can be operated basically concurrently.Each decoder module can be configured to operation concomitantly on identical reception constellation point.El decoder can be independent of the operation of base layer decoder device thus basically, and when decoding enhancement layer data, does not rely on the result of base layer decoder device.As long as el decoder does not rely on the decoded result that obtains from the base layer decoder device, base layer decoder device and el decoder just can be regarded as operation basically independently, although shared some submodule of these decoders.Thus, but base layer decoder device and el decoder shared channel estimate, and even can shared individual bit metric module, for example 550.Yet if el decoder does not rely on the result of base layer decoder device when decoding enhancement layer data, these two decoders can be considered to be essentially independent.
These decoders shown in the embodiment of the receiver 500 of Fig. 5 are configured to decoding through the hierarchical modulated data of turbo coding.Certainly, if transmitter is configured to generate other coding of certain type, then the decoder in the receiver 500 will be complementary with this encoder type.For example, transmitter can be configured to use turbo coding, convolutional encoding, low-density checksum (LDPC) coding or other certain type of coding to come coded data.In this embodiment, receiver 500 disposes complementary decoder.Thus, base layer decoder device in the receiver 500 and el decoder can be configured to provide the combination of turbo decoding, the convolution decoder such as the use Veterbi decoding, LDPC decoding or other certain decoder or these decoders separately.

Each bit metric module 550 and 560 utilizes channel estimating and reception signal to confirm the LLR value.Noise Estimation also capable of using.But if used the turbo coding/decoding method no matter why Noise Estimation all provides identical result, then the Noise Estimation item can be ignored basically.In this embodiment, bit metric module 550 and 560 hardware can use predetermined value as Noise Estimation when calculating the LLR value.
The output of base bit metric module 550 is coupled to base treatment device 570.The output of enhancement layer bit metric module 560 is coupled on function enhancement layer processor 580 basic and that base treatment device 570 is similarly worked.For example, the LLR value is coupled to corresponding basic unit or enhancement layer processor 570 and 580 from bit metric module 550 and 560.
Base treatment device 570 comprises descrambler 572, and this descrambler 572 is configured to operate the code element scrambler of carrying out in the encoder to be reversed in to receiving the LLR value.The output of symbol de scrambler 572 is coupled to and is configured to bit interleaver 574 that the symbol de that had before interweaved is interweaved.The output of bit deinterleaver 574 is coupled to turbo decoder 576, and this turbo decoder 576 is configured to according to the employed encoding rate of turbo encoder decoding through the turbo symbols encoded.For example, turbo decoder 576 can be configured to carrying out decoding through 1/3,1/2 or 2/3 speed turbo coded data.576 pairs of turbo encoders for example LLR value are operated.Decoding output from turbo decoder 576 is coupled to Reed Solomon decoder 578, and this ReedSolomon decoder 578 can be configured to be based in part on Reed Solomon coded-bit and recover basic unit's bit.Basic unit's bit of gained is sent to source decoder (not shown) as a result.
Enhancement layer processor 580 is operated with base treatment device 570 similarly.Descrambler 582 receives the LLR value from strengthening bit metric module 560.Its output is coupled to bit deinterleaver 584 and turbo decoder 586.The output of turbo decoder 586 is coupled to Reed Solomon decoder 588.The enhancement layer bit of gained is sent to source decoder (not shown) as a result.
When using padding data, enhancement layer can not be sent out.In this embodiment, enhancement layer processor 580 idle runnings or be de-energized to preserve power.In another embodiment, no matter send signal and be hierarchical signal or can be used as the non-layered signal that the result of basic unit's pattern only generates, base treatment device 570 can continue decoded signal with enhancement layer processor 580.Base treatment device 570 need not to have any knowledge about employed operator scheme of transmitter or planisphere with enhancement layer processor 580.Receiver 500 can be configured to always suppose a layered modulation constellation.Decoded data can comprise and has base data and the individual-layer data that strengthens data, perhaps can only comprise base data and can be abandoned by subsequent treatment level (not shown) from the decoded data of enhancement process device 580.
