Description

Dispensing device and method with digit broadcasting system of comprehensive error correcting coding function
Technical field
The present invention relates to have the dispensing device and the method thereof of the digit broadcasting system of comprehensive error correcting coding function, be specifically related to have according to the transmitting layered of the digit broadcasting system of supporting the Delamination Transmission pattern dispensing device differently digit broadcasting system of the comprehensive error correcting coding function of coded data and method thereof.
Background technology
Compare with analog broadcasting, digital broadcasting is owing to having used digital encoding system to have the advantage of the system integration and interoperability.Utilize computer and network, the requirement of assembling (media convergence) core as so-called medium has been satisfied in digital broadcasting.In addition, the interactive features of digital broadcasting has greatly changed unidirectional analog broadcasting.
In order to guarantee the integrated and interoperability of digital broadcasting, at first, need the introducing standard.The transmission method that is used for Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcast of current proposition is the ATSC that utilizes 8-VSB (residual sideband) (Advanced Television Systems Committee) of the U.S. and the DVB-T based on COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM)) (digital video broadcasting-ground) in Europe.
Because digital broadcasting needs the compressed signal source to send lot of data, some mistakes in channel influence whole system considerably.Therefore, need to reduce the mistake that in channel, takes place.In order to reduce errors, can improve electrical power to improve signal noise ratio (SNR).But it has such as such problem, i.e. the cost of the raising that is caused by the interference of output of the height of big electrical power and dispensing device and interchannel.In order to alleviate these problems, digit broadcasting system uses error correcting code, and it makes mistake to be repaired and does not need to improve electrical power.Error correcting code can be corrected in the mistake that takes place in the channel and need not improve electrical power, has reduced the probability of the mistake that takes place in receiver.
Error correcting code mainly is divided into automatic repetitive requests (ARQ) and forward error correction (FEC).According to ARQ, if detect mistake in receiver, then receiver sends the signal that is used for the request repeat data to transmitter.Therefore, transmitter retransmission data.Because ARQ needs one to be used to allow the Return Channel of receiver to transmitter transmission re-send request may signal, so this method is not suitable for using in digital broadcasting.And according to FEC, signal is sent out with the additional code element that is added to signal, so that receiver can detect the mistake in channel and with algebraic method it be corrected subsequently.
FEC mainly is divided into block code and convolution code.Block code is unit encoding and decoded information with the piece, and it comprises Hamming code, BCH code and RS (Reed-Solomon) sign indicating number.In these sign indicating numbers, the RS sign indicating number is splendid on range performance, and comprises effective Code And Decode algorithm, therefore has been widely used in digit broadcasting system.The RS sign indicating number is superior aspect correction burst error, detects and correct mistake because it is unit with the piece.
Simultaneously, for convolution code, the output bit is easy to be subjected to over the influence of the bit of the bit of input and current input, and effective aspect the correction random error.Convolution code is called the Viterbi sign indicating number, because the decoder of convolution coder uses the Viterbi decoder usually.
Because the data of error correction need be sent out with the additional information that is used for error correction, therefore reduced the amount of information that each bandwidth can send.Therefore according to the sending method of recent research, for example, TCM (Trellis-coded modulation), coding and modulation function are combined into one, can obtain big coding advantage and do not need to reduce data transfer rates or improve bandwidth.

As mentioned above, using for HP and LP level under the encoder of same procedure and the situation that interleaver is used to error correction coding, all can be received by the receiver with same structure by data that HP and LP level send.
But, may there be a kind of situation, use the receiver of HP level to be present under the different separately communication environments with the receiver that uses the LP level.In this case, carry out the efficiency of transmission that error correction coding can improve system respectively according to the environment of receiver.For example, the receiver under mobile environment receives the strong relatively HP signal of its receiving efficiency, and the receiver under rigid condition is received in and receives stronger LP signal aspect the multidata.For the data that send by the HP level, need carry out the error correction coding of more enhancing to improve receiving efficiency at receiver.For the data that send by the LP level, receiver need be configured to have transmission rate faster.Therefore, the dispensing device of digit broadcasting system need use different error correction/encoding methods according to layering according to the communication environment of receiver.

First and second scramblers 110 and 111 are the data value of the randomization first and second input TS streams in predetermined patterns.That is,, eliminated the correlation between input signal by the pseudo-random binary sequence scrambler is flowed for input TS.This is will prevent during synchrodata sends because the problem of the missed synchronization that causes such as the repetition numeral of 00000000b or 11111111b.This is handled at receiver and is reversed execution with the reduction raw value.
The 130 pairs of data by first and second scramblers 110 and 111 inputs in FEC unit are carried out coding, to be corrected in the mistake that takes place during data send.That is, the first and second RS encoders 112 and 122 are that unit is for carrying out the RS coding by the data of first and second scramblers 110 and 111 outputs, to correct mistake with the piece.RS coding adds parity check code with error correction, by the big or small mutually the same of the first and second RS encoders 112 and 122 parity check codes that add or differ from one another.
First and second outer interleaver 114 and 124 pairs of data from the first and second RS encoders 112 and 122 outputs are carried out byte-interleaved.
Convolution coder 116 is for the data execution convolutional encoding from 114 outputs of first outer interleaver, and TCM encoder 126 is for carrying out the TCM coding from the data of second outer interleaver, 124 outputs.Convolution encoded data and TCM coded data are interweaved again by inner interleaver 128 and are output to modulating unit 140.Inner interleaver 128 can comprise a bit interleaver and a symbol interleaver.Described bit interleaver is carried out in the data block that might carry out Bit Interleave and is interweaved.Under the situation of OFDM, it is a symbol unit that effective subcarrier that described symbol interleaver will exist in the OFDM code element interweaves.

Fig. 3 illustrates the flow chart of method that moves the dispensing device of digit broadcasting system shown in Figure 2 according to the present invention.
Referring to described flow chart, the transmission of input stream (TS stream) separated device (not shown) is divided into and will flows and will pass through the 2nd TS stream (S300 and S302) that low priority (LP) level sends by the TS that high priority (HP) level sends.When TS stream was sent out by the HP level, a TS stream of being divided by separator was imported into first scrambler, 110, the first scramblers, 110 execution scramblers with randomization the one TS stream (S304).
The one RS encoder 112 is that unit is for being carried out the RS coding by the data of first scrambler, 110 scramblers with error correction (S306) with the piece.
Reed-Solomon (RS) sign indicating number is the nonbinary block code different with other yards, so it does not comprise binary number 0 or 1, but comprise nonbinary several 0,1 ..., 2 M-1According to the RS coding, comprise that a piece of k input symbols is encoded as a piece with n code symbols, wherein n is greater than k.Therefore, n-k redundancy symbol is coupled with, and this is called the Reed-Solomon parity check code.The quantity of the parity check code that is added by RS coding depends on transmission method, and for example the code element of each 188 byte is 16 or 20.Receiver is by using the accuracy of the definite data that received of parity check code that add.If the result who determines as accuracy detects a mistake, then receiver is searched for the position of mistake, corrects the data and the primary signal of reducing of distortion.Generally, the code element of half quantity of the parity check code that adds is reduced, and impossible reduction is more than the code element of half quantity of parity check code.
First outer interleaver 114 is for being that the data that unit is encoded are carried out outer interleaved (S308) with the piece at first encoder 112.By in the whole bag of tricks of first outer interleaver, 114 interleaving datas, as use convolutional deinterleaver.The basic function of described interleaver is to disperse burst error to greatest extent.
Convolution coder 116 is for carrying out convolutional encoding from the data of first outer interleaver, 114 outputs.The line of input that convolution code is used for the k bit that each is continuous is encoded to n output bit, and coding comprises the convolution of input bit and binary pulse response.The DVB-T transmission method uses the convolutional coding method with constraint length 7 and encoding rate 1/2.At this, encoding rate can change, and for example 2/3,3/4,5/6 and 7/8.
Inner interleaver 128 interweaves (S322) for being carried out by convolution coder 116 convolution encoded data, has therefore improved the mis-behave that is caused by multipath.As mentioned above, for the coded data that is used for error correction, modulating unit 140 is carried out and is suitable for the digital modulation of transfer of data and sends data (S330).
And when sending input TS stream by the LP level when, the 2nd TS stream of being divided by separator is imported into second scrambler 111 and by second scrambler, 111 scramblers (S314).By the data of scrambler by the 2nd RS encoder 122RS coding (S316).The size of the parity check code that adds during the RS of the 2nd RS encoder 122 coding equals or is not equal to a RS encoder 112.
Second outer interleaver 124 interweaves by the 2nd RS encoder 122 coded datas (S318), has therefore disperseed the possible burst error that takes place in channel.
TCM encoder 126 is carried out the TCM coding with error correction (S320) for the data that interweaved by second outer interleaver 124.
The TCM (Trellis-coded modulation) that is proposed by Underboeck unites two into one encoding function and modulation function obtaining to encode greatly advantage, and need not reduce data transfer rates or improve bandwidth.Use the reasons are as follows of TCM.
Because error correction coding sends data with the error correcting code that is added to data, therefore reduced the data volume that each bandwidth can send.Therefore, in order to keep the transfer rate of data consistently, need more bandwidth when being sent out than not encoding when data.If limited bandwidth then needs to use the modulator approach that is used for effective utilized bandwidth.But for having the limited bandwidth and the dispensing device of power, situation often is to be difficult to obtain desired performance by encoding respectively and modulating.In order to address this problem, after deliberation a kind of communication means that is used for assembly coding and modulation, its example is TCM.TCM carries out convolutional encoding and modulation by single operation.Therefore, compare with the data that wherein received decoded general receiver after demodulation, the TCM receiver is carried out the demodulation sign indicating number once by making up them.
Be sent to inner interleaver 128 by TCM encoder 126 coded datas.The data (S322) that inner interleaver 128 interweaves and is sent out.For the data that interweaved by inner interleaver 128, modulating unit 140 is carried out and is suitable for the digital modulation that data send, and via antenna transmission data (S330).
As mentioned above, might encode the data that send by the HP level and the data by the transmission of LP level with error correction differently and compound.
