- FIG. 16 illustrates a logical structure of a frame according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the PLS, EAC, FIC, data pipe, auxiliary stream, and dummy cell are mapped to the active carrier of the OFDM symbol in the frame.
- PLS1 and PLS2 are initially mapped to one or more FSS. Then, if there is an EAC, the EAC cell is mapped to the immediately following PLS field. If there is an FIC next, the FIC cell is mapped.
- the data pipes are mapped after the PLS or, if present, after the EAC or FIC. Type 1 data pipes are mapped first, and type 2 data pipes are mapped next. Details of the type of data pipe will be described later. In some cases, the data pipe may carry some special data or service signaling data for the EAS.
- auxiliary stream or stream if present, is mapped to the data pipe next, followed by a dummy cell in turn. Mapping all together in the order described above, namely PLS, EAC, FIC, data pipe, auxiliary stream, and dummy cell, will correctly fill the cell capacity in the frame.
- FIG 17 illustrates PLS mapping according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the PLS cell is mapped to an active carrier of the FSS. According to the number of cells occupied by the PLS, one or more symbols are designated as FSS, and the number of FSS NFSS is signaled by NUM_FSS in PLS1.
- FSS is a special symbol that carries a PLS cell. Since alertness and latency are critical issues in PLS, the FSS has a high pilot density, enabling fast synchronization and interpolation only on frequencies within the FSS.
- the PLS cell is mapped to an active carrier of the FSS from the top down as shown in the example of FIG.
- PLS1 cells are initially mapped in ascending order of cell index from the first cell of the first FSS.
- the PLS2 cell follows immediately after the last cell of PLS1 and the mapping continues downward until the last cell index of the first FSS. If the total number of required PLS cells exceeds the number of active carriers of one FSS, the mapping proceeds to the next FSS and continues in exactly the same way as the first FSS.
- EAC, FIC or both are present in the current frame, EAC and FIC are placed between the PLS and the normal data pipe.
- the EAC is a dedicated channel for delivering EAS messages and is connected to the data pipes for the EAS. EAS support is provided, but the EAC itself may or may not be present in every frame. If there is an EAC, the EAC is mapped immediately after the PLS2 cell. Except for PLS cells, none of the FIC, data pipes, auxiliary streams or dummy cells are located before the EAC. The mapping procedure of the EAC cell is exactly the same as that of the PLS.
- EAC cells are mapped in ascending order of cell index from the next cell of PLS2 as shown in the example of FIG. Depending on the EAS message size, as shown in FIG. 18, an EAC cell may occupy fewer symbols.
- the EAC cell follows immediately after the last cell of PLS2 and the mapping continues downward until the last cell index of the last FSS. If the total number of required EAC cells exceeds the number of remaining active carriers of the last FSS, the EAC mapping proceeds to the next symbol and continues in exactly the same way as the FSS. In this case, the next symbol to which the EAC is mapped is a normal data symbol, which has more active carriers than the FSS.
- the FIC is passed next if present. If no FIC is sent (as signaling in the PLS2 field), the data pipe follows immediately after the last cell of the EAC.
- FIG 19 illustrates FIC mapping according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIC is a dedicated channel that carries cross-layer information to enable fast service acquisition and channel scan.
- the information mainly includes channel binding information between data pipes and services of each broadcaster.
- the receiver can decode the FIC and obtain information such as broadcaster ID, number of services, and BASE_DP_ID.
- BASE_DP_ID For high-speed service acquisition, not only the FIC but also the base data pipe can be decoded using BASE_DP_ID. Except for the content that the base data pipe transmits, the base data pipe is encoded and mapped to the frame in exactly the same way as a normal data pipe. Thus, no further explanation of the base data pipe is needed.
- FIC data is generated and consumed at the management layer. The content of the FIC data is as described in the management layer specification.
- FIC data is optional and the use of FIC is signaled by the FIC_FLAG parameter in the static part of the PLS2. If FIC is used, FIC_FLAG is set to 1 and the signaling field for FIC is defined in the static part of PLS2. Signaled in this field is FIC_VERSION, FIC_LENGTH_BYTE. FIC uses the same modulation, coding, and time interleaving parameters as PLS2. The FIC shares the same signaling parameters as PLS2_MOD and PLS2_FEC. FIC data is mapped after PLS2 if present, or immediately after EAC if EAC is present. None of the normal data pipes, auxiliary streams, or dummy cells are located before the FIC. The method of mapping the FIC cells is exactly the same as the EAC, which in turn is identical to the PLS.
- the FIC cells are mapped in ascending order of cell index from the next cell of PLS2 as shown in the example of (a).
- FIC cells are mapped for several symbols.
- the FIC cell follows immediately after the last cell of PLS2 and the mapping continues downward until the last cell index of the last FSS. If the total number of required FIC cells exceeds the number of remaining active carriers of the last FSS, the mapping of the remaining FIC cells proceeds to the next symbol, which continues in exactly the same way as the FSS. In this case, the next symbol to which the FIC is mapped is a normal data symbol, which has more active carriers than the FSS.
- the EAC is mapped before the FIC and the FIC cells are mapped in ascending order of cell index from the next cell of the EAC as shown in (b).
- one or more data pipes are mapped, followed by auxiliary streams and dummy cells if present.
- Data pipes are classified into one of two types depending on the mapping method.
- Type 1 data pipes Data pipes are mapped by TDM.
- Type 2 data pipes Data pipes are mapped by FDM.
- the type of data pipe is indicated by the DP_TYPE field in the static part of PLS2. 20 illustrates a mapping order of a type 1 data pipe and a type 2 data pipe.
- Type 2 data pipes are first mapped in ascending order of symbol index, after reaching the last OFDM symbol of the frame, the cell index is incremented by 1, and the symbol index is returned to the first available symbol and then incremented from that symbol index. .
- each type 2 data pipe is grouped with frequency, similar to the FDM of a data pipe.
- Type 1 data pipes and type 2 data pipes can coexist in frames as needed, with the limitation that a type 1 data pipe always precedes a type 2 data pipe.
- the total number of OFDM cells carrying Type 1 and Type 2 data pipes cannot exceed the total number of OFDM cells available for transmission of the data pipes.
- D DP1 corresponds to the number of OFDM cells occupied by the type 1 data pipe
- D DP2 corresponds to the number of cells occupied by the type 2 data pipe. Since PLS, EAC, and FIC are all mapped in the same way as Type 1 data pipes, PLS, EAC, and FIC all follow the "Type 1 mapping rule". Thus, in general, Type 1 mapping always precedes Type 2 mapping.
- FIG 21 illustrates data pipe mapping according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the addressing of OFDM cells for mapping Type 1 data pipes (0, ..., DDP1-1) is defined for active data cells of Type 1 data pipes.
- the addressing scheme defines the order in which cells from time interleaving for each Type 1 data pipe are assigned to active data cells.
- the addressing scheme is also used to signal the position of the data pipes in the dynamic part of the PLS2.
- address 0 refers to the cell immediately following the last cell carrying PLS in the last FSS. If the EAC is sent and the FIC is not in the corresponding frame, address 0 refers to the cell immediately following the last cell carrying the EAC. If the FIC is sent in the corresponding frame, address 0 refers to the cell immediately following the last cell carrying the FIC. Address 0 for a Type 1 data pipe may be calculated taking into account two different cases as shown in (a). In the example of (a), it is assumed that PLS, EAC, FIC are all transmitted. The extension to the case where one or both of the EAC and the FIC are omitted is obvious. If there are cells remaining in the FSS after mapping all cells to the FIC as shown on the left side of (a).
- Addressing of OFDM cells for mapping Type 2 data pipes (0, ..., DDP2-1) is defined for active data cells of Type 2 data pipes.

- the FIC occupies a cell of a normal symbol, but the number of FIC cells in that symbol is not larger than the C FSS .

- Time interleaver 5050 outputs a series of time interleaving blocks, each time interleaving block containing a variable number of XFECBLOCKs, which in turn consists of a set of cells.
- the number of cells in the XFECBLOCK to N cells is dependent on the number of bits FECBLOCK size, N ldpc, the constellation transmitted per symbol.
- the DPU is defined as the greatest common divisor of all possible values of N cells in the number of cells in XFECBLOCK supported in a given physical profile.
- the length of the DPU in the cell is defined as L DPU . Since each physical profile supports different combinations of FECBLOCK sizes and different bits per constellation symbol, the L DPU is defined based on the physical profile.

- the present invention intends to design a CP pattern that satisfies various objects and effects.
- the CP pattern proposed by the present invention reduces the signaling information and time by keeping the number of active data carriers (NoA) in each OFDM symbol constant for a given number of active carrier (NoC) and a given SP pattern.
- NoA active data carriers
- NoC active carrier
- the present invention intends to change the CP pattern according to the NoC and SP pattern to achieve this condition.
- the CP pattern of the present invention satisfies a roughly even distribution over spectrum and a random position distribution over spectrum for the spectrum, thereby combating the frequency selective channel.
- the CP pattern is configured to reduce the number of CP positions as the NoC decreases to preserve the overall overhead of the CP.
- SP-bearing CP and non SP-bearing CP may be referred to as SP-containing CP and non-SP-containing CP.
- the SP-bearing CP indicates a CP where the position overlaps with the SP
- the non-SP-bearing CP indicates a CP where the position does not overlap with the SP.
- the pattern or position information of the CP may be stored as an index-table in the memory of the transmitter and the receiver.
- the SP pattern used in the broadcasting system is diversified and the NoC mode is increased, the size of the index table is increased, and the portion of the memory is increased. Therefore, the present invention is to solve the above problems, to provide a CP pattern that can satisfy the purpose and effect of the above-described CP pattern.
- an interval in frequency between SPs included in an SP pattern may be represented by Dx, and an interval in time may be represented by Dy.
- Dx may indicate a separation of carriers bearing a pilot in the frequency direction
- Dy may indicate the number of symbols forming one scattered pilot sequence in the time direction.
- the spectrum mask may be different according to a country or region. Therefore, in some cases, it may be necessary to change the bandwidth of the broadcast signal.
- the present invention proposes a flexible NoC (Number of Carriers) structure.
- 31 to 33 illustrate embodiments of a flexible NoC configuration of a broadcast signal according to the present invention.
- This method can use pilots masking out a non-SP-comprising CP by defining a window corresponding to the maximum NoC. In this case, by designing the CP number to have a margin, it is possible to prevent performance deterioration by reducing the NoC. In other words, the system is designed such that the reduced minimum NoC at the maximum NoC has a certain number of non-SP-containing CPs. This method also has the advantage that it can be easily supported even if additional narrowband (WW) or smaller NoC support is required. This method can be expressed as Equation 12 below.
- NoC represents the number of carriers, that is, the number of symbols included in one signal frame, that is, the number of OFDM subcarriers.
- FIG. 33 is an embodiment for the same scheme as in FIG. 32, where the number of non-SP-comprising CPs varies from 45 to 48 for 8K FFT, suggesting another embodiment depending on the value of each FFT size and k.
- the present invention configures the system so that the NoC can be concealed in multiples of ⁇ as needed at the maximum NoC as shown in Equation 12.
- the system is configured such that the number of non-SP-comprising CPs at the maximum NoC is 48 to 8K, 16 to 96, and 32K to 192, respectively, depending on the FFT size. The change in number is as shown in Figs.
- the NoC When supporting a flexible NoC, the NoC can be expanded or reduced in units of Max (Dx), and even in this case, a constraint on the number and position of the SP-bearing CPs occurs to maintain a constant NoA. . If the NoC is expanded or reduced in units of Dx, this limit may vary depending on the SP pattern, FFT size, and k value.
- 34 to 37 illustrate cases where a limit for supporting a constant NoA occurs when a NoC is changed according to an FFT size according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the NoC when the flexible NoC is supported, the NoC is reduced in units of 96, 182, and 384, respectively, according to the k value and the FFT size.
- the SP pattern is repeated in block units corresponding to Dx * DY. Therefore, if the reduced value of ⁇ does not correspond to a multiple of the Dx * Dy block, the pilot pattern set for a constant NoA is broken. This is because the NoC is reduced in units of maximum Dx, and thus may not be a multiple of Dx * Dy. This may be expressed as the following equation.
- the common CP set represents a set of non-SP-bearing CPs that do not overlap the SP
- the additional CP set represents a set of SP-bearing CPs that overlap the SP.
- the broadcast system according to the embodiment of the present invention supports both 3 and 4 as the Dx basis value of the SP.
- the positions of the non-SP-bearing CP and the SP-bearing CP should have a constant index for all SP modes, so they are designed based on the Dx basis value. Therefore, the CP design is possible for the following two designs for Dx basis 3 and 4.
- Method i) is superior to method ii) in terms of performance because it optimizes the position of the optimized CP for each. Since method ii) has the same CP index regardless of the SP mode, there is no performance degradation due to discontinuity at the boundary when sync tracking is required between SP modes having different Dx basis. In addition, the method ii) has the advantage that the existing CP set can be used once compared to the case where two CP sets are required when initial synchronization is required because the receiver does not know the Dx basis in advance. Therefore, below, the method of generating an SP pattern based on ii) is demonstrated.
- a CP set corresponding to various FFT sizes may be generated using a reference CP set.
- a set of non-SP-bearing CPs that do not overlap with an SP may be generated, and this CP set may be referred to as a reference CP set.
- the reference CP set is generated to satisfy the above-described condition of “locating CP evenly and randomly distributed over a predetermined spectrum”.
- the reference CP set is extracted in consideration of various performances for a plurality of CP position patterns generated by the PN generator, which will be described later.
- the CP set (CP_32K) for the 32K FFT mode generates an additional right half CP set (CP_32K, R) by reversing and shifting the reference CP set (CP_32K, L) and by adding the right half CP set to the reference CP set. Is generated.
- the reversing operation may also be referred to as a mirroring operation, and the shifting operation may be referred to as cycling shifting.
- This referencing and shifting operation may be represented by subtracting the indices of the above-described reference CP set in the reference carrier position).
- the reference carrier position is determined in relation to the shifting value and may be referred to as a referrence index or reference index value.
- the generation of the CP sets CP_32K and R of the right half of the 32K mode and the CP set generation method of the 32K FFT mode using the same may be expressed by the following equations.
- CP set CP_16 for 16K FFT mode and CP set CP_8 for 8K FFT mode may be generated by extracting from CP set CP32 for 32K, respectively.
- the reference CP set is determined such that the extracted CPs may be located at the same position in frequency in the frame.
- the broadcast transmitter and the broadcast receiver need only store a CP set corresponding to half of CP indexes used in the 32K mode, thereby reducing the required memory size.
- a plurality of conditions must be satisfied to determine the reference CP set. For example, i) one must avoid the location of the SP pattern with the Dx value with the largest value that can be supported for each FFT mode, and ii) the generation of 16K and 8K CP sets from the CP set in 32K FFT mode is rounded ( It should be calculated by simple operation such as rounding / ceiling / flooring, and iii) continuity in absolute frequency for all FFT modes. Must be satisfied.
- CP indices are selected to avoid the position of the SP, as shown in FIG. 39, and among these, 16K and 8K modes are selected to be located at the same position in the frequency direction. In addition, among the selected indices, indices having the most random and even distribution over the signal bandwidth are selected and included in the reference CP set.
- the CP set (CP_32K) of the 32K FFT mode is generated using the reference CP set
- the CP set (CP_16K) of the 16K mode and the CP set (CP_8K) of the 8K mode are CP sets (CP_32K) of the 32K FFT mode.
- the number 18 may be used by mitigating the continuity in absolute frequency for all FFT modes for all FFT modes.
- the present invention uses a sealing operation such as Equation 15 for more accurate frequency position identification, more accurate channel estimation, and frequency / time synchronization using the same.
- operations of Equations 16 to 19 may be used as necessary. It may be.
- Equation 15 uses a sealing operation on a CP set in 16K mode by dividing every second index by 2 and a sealing operation on a CP set in 16K mode by dividing every fourth index by 4. Create a CP set in 8K mode.
- the sealing operation value represents the smallest integer above the target value.
- Equation (15) uses a flooring operation on CP set in 16K mode by dividing every 2nd index by 2 in CP set in 32K mode and flooring operation on every 4th index divided by 4. By generating a CP set in the 8K mode.
- the flooring operation value represents the largest integer below the target value.
- the round operation value represents the nearest integer of the target value.
- the reason for satisfying the condition of continuity in absolute frequency for all FFT modes for all FFT modes is to make the channel estimation more accurate even if the FFT size changes. Since the pilots are located at the same position even if the FFT size is changed, the broadcast receiver can more accurately estimate the channel and correct the time / frequency offset using the pilot positions of the front and rear signals. In other words, it may be more effective especially when the FFT size is different for each part of the signal in one frame.
