Foreword This Technical Report (TR) has been produced by the DVB Project and submitted for publication to the Joint Technical Committee (JTC) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Comité Européen de Normalisation ELECtrotechnique (CENELEC) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). NOTE: The EBU/ETSI JTC was established in 1990 to co-ordinate the drafting of standards in the specific field of broadcasting and related fields. Since 1995 the JTC became a tripartite body by including in the Memorandum of Understanding also CENELEC, which is responsible for the standardization of radio and television receivers. The EBU is a professional association of broadcasting organizations whose work includes the co-ordination of its members' activities in the technical, legal, programme-making and programme-exchange domains. The EBU has active members in about 60 countries in the European broadcasting area; its headquarters is in Geneva *. * European Broadcasting Union Case Postale 67 CH-1218 GRAND SACONNEX (Geneva) Switzerland Tel: +41 22 717 21 11 Fax: +41 22 717 24 81 Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Project Founded in September 1993, the DVB Project is a market-led consortium of public and private sector organizations in the television industry. Its aim is to establish the framework for the introduction of MPEG-2 based digital television services. Now comprising over 200 organizations from more than 25 countries around the world, DVB fosters market-led systems, which meet the real needs, and economic circumstances, of the consumer electronics and the broadcast industry. 5 TR 101 198 V1.1.1 (1997-09) 1 Scope The present document supplements EN 300 421 [1] which describes the transmission of MPEG-2/DVB Transport Stream (TS) via satellite. The present document covers a special case, where the use of Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation is required, rather than that specified in EN 300 421 [1]. 2 References References may be made to: a) specific versions of publications (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.), in which case, subsequent revisions to the referenced document do not apply; or b) all versions up to and including the identified version (identified by "up to and including" before the version identity); or c) all versions subsequent to and including the identified version (identified by "onwards" following the version identity); or d) publications without mention of a specific version, in which case the latest version applies. A non-specific reference to an ETS shall also be taken to refer to later versions published as an EN with the same number. Because of the rapid development of specifications and standards it is recommended to verify in each case whether the following documents have been replaced by more recent versions. The following list was compiled in August 1997. [1] EN 300 421: "Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Framing structure, channel coding and modulation for 11/12 GHz satellite services". 3 Definitions and abbreviations 3.1 Definitions For the purposes of the present document, the definitions given in EN 300 421 [1] apply. 3.2 Abbreviations For the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviations apply: BPSK Binary Phase Shift Keying C/N signal to noise ratio DVB Digital Video Broadcasting DTH Direct-To-Home Eb/No ratio between the Energy per useful bit and twice the Noise power spectral density I Interference I, Q In-phase, Quadrature phase components of the modulated signal MPEG-2 Moving Picture Experts Group N additive white Gaussian Noise QPSK Quaternary Phase Shift Keying Ru useful bit-rate after RS outer coder TS Transport Stream 6 TR 101 198 V1.1.1 (1997-09) 4 Background Under typical conditions for Direct-To-Home (DTH) emissions by satellite, the Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation adopted in EN 300 421 [1] achieves an optimum trade-off between spectrum and power efficiencies. Compared to BPSK, QPSK offers a double spectrum efficiency and a comparable power efficiency at the same useful bit-rate Ru, in the presence of additive white Gaussian Noise (N) and Interference (I). In general, the best system performance by satellite is met by adopting QPSK at the maximum symbol rate compatible with the transponder bandwidth (see EN 300 421 [1], annex C). This configuration is indicated in the present document as "full-band" transmission, in contrast with a "reduced-band" transmission, where part of the transponder bandwidth is not exploited by the signal. The maximization of the useful bit-rate Ru compatible with the available C/N + I is achieved by considering full-band QPSK associated with progressively decreasing coding rates (from 7/8 to 1/2). If a configuration is found which meets the C/N + I requirements, there is no BPSK scheme with comparable or better performance in terms of Ru or in terms of generated interference power density affecting other services. For example, comparing full-band QPSK 1/2 with full-band BPSK 7/8 (i.e. at the same symbol rate), the latter shows a 12,5 % loss in terms of Ru and at the same time a power loss of about 1,3 dB, while the generated interference power density affecting other services is similar. Only under exceptionally critical transmission conditions, full-band BPSK can out-perform reduced-band QPSK 1/2 at the same Ru. This can happen when the available C/N + I ratio can not even support the bit-rate Ru of full-band QPSK 1/2, and in the presence of strong narrow-band co-channel interference (I). For example, assuming a narrow-band interference at C/I = 10 dB, and taking as a reference reduced-band QPSK 1/2 at the same Ru, full-band BPSK 2/3 requires similar Eb/No, but generates an interference power density 1,7 dB lower. Under the same conditions but at even smaller bit-rates Ru, full-band BPSK 1/2 offers reductions of about 0,8 dB in terms of required Eb/No, and of 3 dB in terms of generated interference power density. On the other hand, in some cases the lower spectrum occupation of QPSK can allow to avoid co-channel interference, by shifting the signal within the transponder bandwidth. The present document describes a preferred implementation of BPSK for those applications which do not conform to EN 300 421 [1] in the modulation format only. 5 BPSK implementation The inner code puncturing conforms to table 2 of EN 300 421 [1] (relevant to QPSK modulation), to generate the I and Q parallel signals. By means of a parallel-to-serial conversion, these two signals I and Q are merged in a single signal R, at double rate, following the rule: R = I, Q. This results in the puncturing scheme summarized in table 1. Table 1: Puncturing scheme for BPSK Code 1/2 2/3 3/4 5/6 7/8 Rates X: 1 10 101 10101 1000101 Y: 1 11 110 11010 1111010 R= X1Y1 X1Y1Y2 X3Y3Y4 X1Y1Y2 X3 X1Y1Y2 X3Y4 X5 X1Y1Y2 Y3 Y4 X5Y6 X7 The mapping of signal R into the BPSK constellation is absolute (no differential coding). Baseband filtering for spectrum shaping conforms to the QPSK specification. 7 TR 101 198 V1.1.1 (1997-09) History Document history V.1.1.1 September 1997 Publication ISBN 2-7437-1736-X Dépôt légal : Septembre 1997
