Thomson Broadcastcontribution to
DVB-T2 standard
Thomson Broadcast has a continued
involvement in DVB activities since
early 90’s. Thomson Broadcast has
contributed to DVB-T2
standardization from 2006 until now.Thomson Broadcast longstanding
experience in RF domain and in
broadcast distribution network was
particularly involved in the process of
selecting techniques for PAPR
reduction and has chaired T2 MI

Key facts :
Channel robustness close to theoretical Shannon limit
Up to 50% more bandwidth than 1st generation standard
Better Transmission quality/efficiency/reliability with PAPR
Larger and better SFN capabilities with distributed MISO scheme
Mobile / fixed network capabilities with MPLP
Future proof solution with Future Extension Frame concept
Flexible Time interleaver
Robustness adjustable per PLP for one or more services
Native IP based network distribution
DVB- T2 is the world’s most advanced digital terrestrial transmission system offering highestefficiency, robustness and flexibility. It introduces the latest modulation and coding techniques toenable highly efficient use of valuable terrestrial spectrum for the delivery of audio, video and dataservices to fixed, portable and mobile devices. These new techniques give DVB-T2 a 50% increasein efficiency over any other DTT system in the world. DVB-T2 will coexist for some years withDVB-T transmission.
Similarly to the first generation standard (DVB-T, ISDB-T, DAB), DVB-T2 uses OFDM
(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) modulation, with a large number of sub- carriersdelivering a robust signal, the new specification offers a range of different modes making it a veryflexible standard.
DVB-T2 uses the LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) codes offering excellent performance in the presence of high noise levels and interference.
Transmission quality and reliability is improved by the introduction of advanced clippingfunctions, named PAPR techniques.
Service Specific coding based on Multi-PLP (Physical Layer Pipes) mechanism is providedto separately adjust the robustness of each delivered service within a channel to meet the requiredreception conditions for mobile, indoor and fixed reception in the same channel
Transmission diversity method, known as Alamouti coding, extends the coverage in small-scalesingle-frequency networks.
Finally, DVB-T2 group has defined a method called FEF (Future Extension Frame) which can beimplemented over an existing DVB-T2 network. DVB-T2 offers a higher data rate, more robustsignal, flexibility and scalability than any other existing transmission standard. For example, in theUK a DVB-T channel typically has a data rate of 24 MBit/s, whereas a DVB-T2 channel can carry36 MBit/s, while keeping the robustness equal.

DVB-T2 highlights
DVB-T2 standard is built upon
more than 30 building blocks. All of
these are extensively simulated and
tested against reference golden
streams issued by V&V (Validation
and Verification) standardization
group.
DVB-T2 Key Concepts
A complex standard?
At a first glance, DVB-T2 is a complex standard. It is made of a lot of new building blocks and allof them must be carefully adjusted. These new advanced signal processing techniques such asrotated constellation, ACE (Active Constellation Extension) and TR (Tone Reservation) PAPRreduction techniques, MISO (Multiple Inputs Single Output), Flexible time interleaver, FEF,scalable frame structure are good examples of how to bring added value to a broadcast technology.
…4 main guidelines for a comprehensiveunderstanding of DVB-T2 possibilities
Capacity increase, Flexible system design, Efficiency improvements and Mobility have drivenDVB partners in DVB-T2 standardization process.

PAPR support
Thomson Broadcast exciter
implements PAPR natively improving
Quality / Efficiency / Lifecycle of the
transmission network. For instance,
efficiency is improved by more than
1% and power gain is above 0.4dB.
ACE techniques can be used in other
standards since Thomson Broadcast
proposed this PAPR technique in
order to be backward compatible
with others systems such as DVB-T or
DAB.
While Tone Reservation is highly
efficient for higher order QAM
constellations, ACE is particularly
efficient for low order constellation
such as QPSK or 16QAM modulation
schemes. It makes ACE a good
solution for reducing PAPR in
existing mobile networks relying on
QPSK or 16QAM modulation
scheme.
Beyond PAPR technique power
gain, when using either PAPR
Tone Reservation or Active
Constellation Extension, transistor
lifecycle is dramatically improved by
reducing transistor ageing effect
Ef fi ciency increase with Tone reservation or A CE
Lower PAPR achieved with tone reservation or Active Constellation Extension. The goalof these techniques is to achieve better RF performances and increase overall efficiency of theRF power amplifiers. With this technique, the purpose is to achieve Peak to Average PowerRatio below 10dB

MPLP mode offers a Service specific robustness while SPLP mode can be used in existingdistribution network based on MPEG2-TS
Time interleaver combined with Cell interleaver can be adjusted for each PLP and the depthof the interleaver can be adjusted on 1 or several consecutive frames. This makes timeinterleaver really robust against impulse noise.
Rotated constellation combined with cell interleaver improves signal robustness in cornerreception scenarios by de-correlating I & Q components of regular grey mapping scheme.

DVB-T2 highlights
The design of the Thomson Broadcast
exciter has taken into account from the
beginning the need of resources for
the evolution of the DVB-T2 standard.
T2-Lite is a software evolution
compatible with the existing hardware
T2-Lite
The mobile configuration of the DVB-T2 standard, also called T2-Lite, uses a limited number ofavailable modes which are optimized for mobile transmission and minimize the requirements forthe receiver.
Maximum bitrate of 4 Mb/s per PLP
Limitation of the FFT size to exclude 1K and 32K carriers mode
Allows only short FEC frames (Nldpc = 16200)
Limitation of the size of the time interleaver memory to approximately half the size ofnormal DVB-T2 transmission
Reduces set of combinations of FFT size, guard interval and pilot pattern. PP8 pilot pattern isnot allowed

The mobile services may be transmitted as a stand-alone signal but may also be transmitted on thesame radio frequency channel with other DVB-T2 services. This can be achieved thanks to theFuture Extension Frame (FEF) feature of the standard. In this case, the mobile transmission will beignored by normal DVB-T2 receiver and the standard DVB-T2 transmission, also called T2-base,is ignored by the mobile receiver

Thomson BroadcastDVB-T2 highlights
Unique PLP solution
Thomson Broadcast is going beyond
common implementation by
providing up to 64 PLP in parallel
where 16 PLP is currently state of the
art. This allows unequalled flexibility
in tailoring different services for an
existing network.
For instance, you could provide in a
single channel 16 mobile services
requiring up to 10Mb/s and allowing
3 to 4 HD services in the same
broadcast channel.
Moreover PLP management in
Thomson exciter is dynamic so
it allows live reconfiguration. This is
supporting future statistical PLP
management in order to optimize
robustness in the channel.
DVB-T2 introduction scenarios
DVB-T2 application is primarily dedicated to fixed HD /3D terrestrial networks over existing
DVB-T networks but it contains everything
DVB-T 2 and mul ti services
The Multiple Physical Layer Pipes (MPLP) concept gives the possibility to have specific robustnessfor different services on a single DVB-T2 channel. Each PLP may have its own modulation, coderate and interleaving. This offers the opportunity, for example, to broadcast on an unique channelHD services with high bit rate dedicated for fixed reception, SD services with lower bit rate forindoor reception, and radio or mobile TV services with very low bit rate.
DVB -T2 and T2-Li te application
Using MPLP to broadcast services dedicated to fixed reception and to mobile in the same T2multiplex is limited by the fact that the FFT mode and the pilot pattern cannot be adjusted duringthe same T2 signal. Fixed reception services is transmitted with large FFTs and sparse pilot patternsto optimize the bit rate. On the other hand, reception in mobile scenarios requires the utilization ofsmaller FFTs and more dense pilot patterns to follow the rapid variations in the time and frequencydomain. T2-Lite standard gives a solution for this problem, with the possibility to transmit thesignal in the FEF parts. In this manner, the FFT, guard interval and pilot patterns are optimized formobile reception using the T2-Lite signal, and in the same time, these parameters are optimized forfixed reception using the T2-base signal.Of course, the T2-Lite signal can be used as a stand-alone signal which occupies the full frequencychannel.
DVB-T2 and new services
About the content aspect, DVB-T2 will be introduced for new services such as HD andUltra-HD programs. Ultra-HD debate is not yet over but we can expect that higher bandwidth will
be required to broadcast Ultra-HD services even for frame compatible format. DVB-T2 is designedto carry HD/ Ultra-HD services and offer the best signal efficiency (5.6bit/Hz in UK) even morewith SFN diversity transmission (MISO). In order to deploy 3D content efficiently, it is necessaryto work with DVB Ultra-HD TV specification where Ultra-HD TV program and 2D services canshare the same broadcast channel at different time of the day. In this case, Ultra-HD TV set must
be capable to switch between 2D and Ultra-HD application. Ultra-HD TV specification definessome scenario and signalization over the MPEG to allow flexible Ultra-HD transport. For instance,Ultra-HD side by side requires broadcasting a full HD definition service with a minimum rate of8Mb/s. In the UK, this will lead up to 4-5 Ultra-HD services or full HD services.
M oving DVB-T to DVB-T 2 – Dual Cast Concept
Where legacy DVB-T transmission exists, it is easy to introduce DVB-T2 for new services. CurrentDVB-T2 set-top boxes are also able to perform DVB-T modulation enabling a smooth transition tonew services over a network. A user purchasing a DVB-T2 set top box or TV set can also watchlegacy DVB-T transmissions. On the network side, the transition from a DVB-T channel to DVB-T2 is simplified when dual cast operation is available in the exciter because network operator onlyhas to manage a single network instead of managing 2 different networks. DVB-T and DVB-
T2 spectrum characteristics are closed because they share the same channel raster and both of themare based on OFDM transmission with guard intervals.

When system is transitioned to DVB-T2 and PAPR is implemented, it is possible to increase thecoverage by 0.4dB compared to the same DVB-T coverage for the same performance (MER =34dB at transmitter output). Combined with signal compression improvement, it is possible to moveMPEG2 services to MPEG4 and bundle them in new multiplexes. This can free up new frequencies
to deploy new services as VOD or 3D services.

Thomson Broadcast
DVB-T2 highlights
Thomson DVB-T2 exciter
implements IP interface using pro
MPE FEC. When used additional
large buffers are used to ensure a
robust IP interface.
How is DVB-T2 implemented?
Broadcasters can easily get started with a DVB-T2 transmission. DVB-T2 can be initiallyimplemented on a primary DTV transmitter, leveraging existing capital expenditures on the RF
transmitter, fil ter in g, tr ans mis si on line , and bro adca st anten na. In MFN netwo rk,DVB-T2 Thomson Broadcast transmitters can be operated with the existing MPEG distributionnetwork over ASI or Gigabit Ethernet using the SMPTE2022-1 pro MPEG FEC standard. WhenT2 network is operated in SFN network or if service protected MPLP variable is used, it isnecessary to use T2MI interface to send video streams to the transmitter. In this situation, a T2 MI(Modulator Interface gateway is needed at the head-end to parse signals into T2-MI packets. Afield-proven transmitter must be tested with several Gateway manufacturers and solution must behighly robust to any kind of jitter (packet jitter or time source jitter) as very large hardware bufferssize are available in the exciter to process IP input or MPEG-2 TS.

(Modulator Interface).
T2 Modulator Interface standard is
part of DVB-T2 validation and
verification group.
The standard describing DVB-T2
Modulator Interface is labeled TS
102773
How is SFN implemented?
T2 SFN networks setup are similar to SFN DVB-T networks but they require a T2-MI gatewayand time reference equipments. All networks implementing SFN or / and MPLP must follow the
T2-MI stack protocol.
Figure 11: T2 Modulator Interface protocol stack
T2 Modulator protocol stack is relying on existing and proved MPEG-2 TS and MPEG2-GSE.
MPEG-2 GSE is a generic purpose encapsulation protocol dedicated to efficient IP distribution ofvideo services to the T2-MI gateway. The output interface of the gateway to the distributionnetwork is either IP encapsulated or directly in ASI format.

verification between exciters
DVB-T2 offers more scalability than a DVB-T network. It offers larger guard intervals. Sameinfrastructure basis than a legacy network can be re-used provided that equipments in the legacydistribution network are transparent to the transport stream. However it requires a gateway to
perform timestamp insertion and Physical Layer Pipe multiplexing.
Figure 12: DVB-T2 transmitter setup dedicated to SFN
Setting up a DVB-T2 SFN network requires different stages: Modulator interoperability verification, especially when different modulator brands are used Modulator – gateway system interoperability Program Feed Transparency: bit-synchronous requirement for SFNs means that program feeds
have to pass transport streams transparently, without any modification to packet order. Bit rate jitter must remain low. Large Bit rate jitter from distribution network may cause SFN
disruption.

Installing a DVB-T2 SFN network requires having specific SFN test modes to verify timingadjustment between transmitters. Once done, a transmitter in a SFN network can be modeledusing a triplet (P: power, d: delay, f: frequency). It is important to determine where the 0delayarea i s f a l l i n g . In the following example, we can observe that the 0delay area isfalling concomitantly to a 0dB echo area. This will result in destructive interference in the 0delayarea.
Figure 14: Example of destructive interference situation in a DVB-T2 SFN
One solution is to change the delay of one transmitter to make sure that this situation will notoccur.
Figure 15: Non destructive “0delay” situation in a DVB -T2 SFN
Once the SFN network is setup, main issues come from the timing drift or disruption in the GPSsignal reception or in transport stream. In SFN networks, transmitters must be carefully monitoredand it is important that the exciter has embedded capabilities to detect such events separately inorder to take the proper preventive or corrective action. Furthermore, on main strategic sites, it isdesirable that the transmitter offers at operator wish permanent transmission in case of timereference loss or perturbation of the distribution network.

How is T2-Lite implemented?
T2-Lite signal can be used as a stand-alone signal. In this case, the implementation is the samethat for other DVB-T2 transmission. But T2-Lite signal can also share a unique channel with a
T2-Base signal. In this case, there are two possibility for the network configuration.
The first solution consists to separate the distribution of the T2-Base and T2-Lite signals.
Even if this solution could be useful for preliminary laboratory tests or pilot networks, it is notoptimized for network implementation and maintenance:
Two gateways are used. They need to be set-up simultaneously and the time synchronization between them is critical.
As two different streams are necessary for T2-Base and T2-Lite signals, four inputs aremandatory at the exciter level to offer input redundancy
The recommended operational configuration is the following:
In this case, only one gateway manages the T2-Base and T2-Lite signals and a single T2MI streamis sent to the transmitter.

The MISO concept
Interest of MISO (Multiple Inputs Single Output)
In this mode, DVB-T2 is broadcasted on 2 different antennas. Hence, DVB-T2 signal is split inmain and complimentary components feeding the antennas. Main advantage is that the receiverwill benefit from an increased C/N if the receiver is able to see both signals. If the receiver is notable to see one of the 2 signals, its performance remain equal to SISO (Single Input Single Outputantenna).
Figure 16: MISO co-sited
For instance, current DVB-T2 UK transmission is based on a LDPC code rate of 2/3. With MISO,it might be possible to use LDPC code rate 3/4 leading to a bit rate gain of 5 Mb/s.
Figure 17: Performance Gain

Network Constraint and distributed MISO
If both transmissions were to be co-sited, the cost would be prohibitive from the networkoperator point of view. That is the reason to introduce distributed MISO where complimentarysignals are sent from two different existing nearby sites. In this situation, the C/N gain can be up to3dB and be converted into higher bitrates.
