2. DVB Overview  DVB Project is an industry-led consortium of over 300 companies  The DVB Project was launched on 10 th September, 1993  In 1995 it was basically finished and became operational  There are several sub-standards of the DVB standard  DVB-S (Satellite) – using QPSK – 40 Mb/s  DVB-T (Terrestrial) – using QAM – 50 Mb/s  DVB-C (Cable) – using OFDM – 24 Mb/s  These three sub-standards basically differ only in the specifications to the physical representation, modulation, transmission and reception of the signal 2

3. DVB Overview (Cont.)  The DVB stream consists of a series of fixed length packets which make up a Transport Stream (TS).  The packets support ‘streams’ or ‘data sections’.  Streams carry higher layer packets derived from an MPEG stream.  Data sections are blocks of data carrying signaling and control data.  DVB is actually a support mechanism for MPEG.  One MPEG stream needing higher instantaneous data can ‘steal’ capacity from another with spare capacity. 3

6. DVB Packet The DVB Transport stream consists of a series of packets 204 bytes long, 188 bytes carry information and the other 16 bytes carry an outer Reed-Solomon code. The packet is short and can survive a noisy channel subject to interference. 188 Bytes16 Bytes Information Reed Solomon Parity block 6

7. Applied Process to Data Stream Transport multiplex adaptation and randomization for energy dispersal; Outer coding (i.e. Reed-solomon code); Outer interleaving (i.e. Convolutional interleaving); Inner coding (i.e. Punctured convolutional code); Inner interleaving (bit-wise or symbol interleaving are block based); Mapping and modulation; Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission. 7

9. Randomization /De-Randomization In order to ensure adequate binary transitions, the data of the input MPEG-2 multiplex shall be randomized in accordance with the configurations depicted in the following figure[7]: 9

10. Randomization /De-Randomization (Cont.) The polynomial for the Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) generator shall be: 1 + X 14 + X 15 10

11. Reed ‐ Solomon Reed-Solomon RS (204,188, t = 8) shortened code shall be applied to each randomized transport packet (188 byte) to generate an error protected packet. Reed-Solomon coding shall also be applied to the packet sync byte, either non-inverted (i.e.47HEX) or inverted (i.e. B8HEX). 11

12. Reed ‐ Solomon (Cont.) All of the following additions and multiplications are performed in the Galois field. The Field Generator Polynomial is: p(x) = x 8 + x 4 + x 3 + x 2 + 1 12

14. Outer Interleaver [7] 14

15. Outer Interleaver(Cont.) Convolutional byte-wise interleaving with depth I = 12 shall be applied to the error protected packets. This results in the interleaved data structure. The interleaver may be composed of I = 12 branches, cyclically connected to the input byte-stream by the input switch. Each branch j shall be a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) shift register, with depth j × M cells where M = 17 = N/I, N = 204. The cells of the FIFO shall contain 1 byte, and the input and output switches shall be synchronized. 15

16. Outer Deinterleaver 16

17. Inner Coding The system shall allow for a range of punctured convolutional codes, based on a mother convolutional code of rate 1/2 with 64 states. This will allow selection of the most appropriate level of error correction for a given service or The generator polynomials of the mother code are G1 = 171OCT for X output and G2 = 133OCT for Y output. 17

18. Inner Coding(Cont.) 18

19. Inner interleaving The inner interleaving consists of bit-wise interleaving followed by symbol interleaving. Both the bit-wise interleaving and the symbol interleaving processes are block-based. 19
