- the transmitted transmission data is transmitted to the transmission device 20 via the communication lines 40-2 to 40-i.
- the transmission device 20 receives the transmission data transmitted from the data processing devices 10-1 to 10-i on the broadcast station side via the communication lines 40-1 to 40-i.
- the transmitting device 20 performs necessary processing on the transmission data from the data processing devices 10-1 to 10-i, and transmits the resulting broadcast signal from a transmitting antenna provided at a transmitting station.
- the broadcast signal from the transmitting device 20 at the transmitting station is transmitted to the receiving devices 30-1 to 30-j by radio waves in a predetermined frequency band.
- the receiving devices 30-1 to 30-j are configured as fixed receivers such as a television receiver and a set top box (STB), and are installed at the user's home. In the following description, the receiving devices 30-1 to 30-j will be simply referred to as the receiving device 30 unless it is particularly necessary to distinguish them.
- the receiving device 30-1 receives a broadcast signal transmitted from the transmitting device 20 by a radio wave of a predetermined frequency band and performs necessary processing, so that a broadcast content (for example, broadcast Program).
- a broadcast content for example, broadcast Program
- the broadcast signal from the transmitting device 20 is processed, and the broadcast content corresponding to the channel selection operation by the user is reproduced.
- the receiving device 30 since the video of the broadcast content is displayed on the display and the audio synchronized with the video is output from the speaker, the user can view the broadcast content such as a broadcast program. .
- a control signal including transmission control information for notifying the receiving device 30 of a transmission parameter of the main signal is transmitted.
- a control signal including transmission control information for notifying the receiving device 30 of a transmission parameter of the main signal.
- a TMCC signal is transmitted as a control signal (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1 described above).
- the receiver 30 demodulates the signal received from the transmitter 20 to obtain (transmission parameters for) the transmission control information, and then demodulates the main signal using the transmission parameters. Since the main signal is demodulated after receiving and demodulating the transmission control information, the time until the receiving device 30 outputs the video or audio of the broadcast content depends on the demodulation processing time of the transmission control information. Therefore, it is desirable that the demodulation process of the transmission control information be performed in a shorter time.
- the error correction code to be decoded is also referred to as a code, and when the code is successfully decoded, (part of) the transmission control information included in the corresponding codeword is obtained. Further, for convenience of explanation, the reference numerals and code words are given corresponding numbers (# 1, # 2, etc.).

- FIG. 2 shows transmission control information transmitted on a control signal carrier and a main signal (payload) transmitted on a data carrier for each frame in the current system and the next-generation system.
- one frame (physical layer frame) for transmitting transmission control information is composed of reference bits, synchronization words, and codes. That is, the frame of the current system is composed of a synchronization word (synchronization signal) and a code including one codeword, and the transmission control information is transmitted by one codeword.
- one frame (physical layer frame) for transmitting transmission control information is composed of a reference bit, a synchronization word, code # 1, and code # 2. That is, the frame of the next-generation system is composed of a synchronization word (synchronization signal) and code # 1 and code # 2, and the transmission control information includes two codewords # 1 and # 2 as the information increases. Transmitted by 2.
- each square in the figure represents an error correction code block (FEC (Forward Error Correction) block), and in the next-generation system, the size thereof is smaller than that of the current system. Is getting bigger.
- FEC Forward Error Correction
- the beginning of each frame coincides with the beginning of the FEC block of the payload.
- the head of the frame does not match the head of the FEC block of the payload (the breaks do not match).
- the transmission control information is transmitted by one codeword, and the codeword does not change.
- the transmission control information is increased with an increase in information such as offset information.
- the code words change (information to be coded changes).
- the transmission control information basically includes the same information in each frame, and the code words subjected to error correction coding do not change. Further, the reception signal of the transmission control information is composed of a synchronization word (synchronization signal) and one code word, and the same bit string is repeatedly transmitted periodically.
- the receiving device 30 receives the synchronization word and the code word in any region if the received signal for one frame is accumulated in any region. Then, the receiving device 30 can always decode the transmission control information with one frame of the received signal by extracting the codeword from the received signal and performing the decoding process.
- this area A1 corresponds to a received signal for one frame, and a code included in the first frame and In the code included in the second frame following the one frame, the code word does not change. Therefore, in the current system, in the area A1 surrounded by the dotted line, a signal of a part of the code included in the first frame (the code C1 in the drawing) and the remaining one of the codes included in the second frame are included. By accumulating the signal of the section (code C2 in the figure), a codeword can be obtained, and transmission control information can be obtained.
- transmission control information is transmitted by two codewords # 1 and # 2, and the codeword changes for each frame.
- the direction from the left side to the right side is the time direction, and the frame length of one frame is, for example, about 350 msec at maximum, which is longer than the frame length of the current system (257 msec at maximum). It is assumed that
- the transmission control information includes information that changes every frame, and in the error correction coding, when the information sequence changes, the parity sequence also changes. For this reason, in the next-generation system, similar to the current system shown in FIG. 3, even if one frame of received signal is accumulated, the sequence may not become a codeword, and as a result, code (error correction code) # 1 , # 2 may fail.
- this area A2 corresponds to a signal for one frame.
- the code # 1 included in the second frame following the first frame the code word has changed. Therefore, in the next-generation system, the code # 1 included in the second frame together with the signal of the code # 1 (code C1 in the figure) included in the first frame is included in the area A2 surrounded by the dotted line. Even if the signal of the remaining part of 1 (code C2 in the figure) is accumulated, it may not be a codeword.
- the accumulation type method it is necessary to accumulate an area including all the codewords included in the received signal. For example, if a signal of another codeword is stored in addition to a received signal of one frame, a synchronization word and all codewords are always included. However, in the current system, only the synchronization word and one codeword are extracted. In the next-generation system, the synchronization word and a plurality of codewords (codewords # 1, # 2) are used for a wider area. The need to extract comes out.
- the code word length is about 0.5 frame
- the amount of signal to be stored increases compared to the current system.
- Patent Document 3 described above describes a method of acquiring transmission control information when a storage type method is not used. According to Patent Document 3, since a code word is arranged immediately after a synchronization word in the transmission specification, first, a coincidence check of the synchronization word is performed from the received signal, and then the decoding of the code word is performed. Control information is being acquired.
- the transmission control information can be obtained with a received signal for two frames as the maximum time.
- FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show a case where the time until the transmission control information is acquired is the shortest and a case where the time is the longest, respectively.
- FIG. 6 shows an example in which the time until the transmission control information is obtained is the shortest.
- the timing (time t11) of the start of input of the received signal substantially coincides with the start position of the synchronization word.
- the decoding of the code # 1 and the code # 2 succeeds (time t13, t14), and the transmission control information is obtained.
- the case where the transmission control information is acquired with the waiting time of about one frame shown in FIG. 6 is the case where the time until the acquisition of the transmission control information is the shortest.
- FIG. 7 shows an example in which the time until the transmission control information is obtained is the longest.
- the timing (time t21) of the start of the input of the received signal substantially coincides with the middle position of the synchronization word. Succeeds (time t22), decoding of code # 1 and code # 2 succeeds (time t23, t24), and transmission control information is acquired.
- the time from the start of input of the received signal at time t21 to the successful check of the synchronization word at time t22 is during the synchronization word check, and a waiting time of about one frame occurs. I have.
- the transmission control information is acquired with the waiting time of about two frames shown in FIG. 7 when the time until the transmission control information is acquired is the longest.
- the receiving device 30 when receiving the broadcast signal (OFDM signal), the receiving device 30 starts the operation without recognizing (the position of) the beginning of the frame, but acquires transmission control information (TMCC signal) (synchronization). (Successful decoding in agreement with the word), the position of the synchronization word and the code to be decoded can be recognized, and the beginning (position) of the frame can be recognized. In the receiving device 30, once the transmission control information (TMCC signal) can be obtained, the positions of the synchronization word and the code are periodic. Become.
- the transmission method of transmission control information is different from that of the current system, but if storage is simply performed, the maximum is about 2 It takes time for a frame, and it takes some time to acquire transmission control information.
