- the demapping and decoding module 9020 can perform demapping on the mapping applied for transmission efficiency, and correct an error generated in the transmission channel through decoding. In this case, the demapping and decoding module 9020 can obtain transmission parameters necessary for demapping and decoding by decoding the data output from the signaling decoding module 9040.

- 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 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.
