What is DVB-T2
It is not DVB-T using MPEG-4 encoding
It is a new DVB transmission standard for
the terrestrial world
It is not backward-compatible to DVB-T
It offers 30 50 % higher data rates than DVB-T.
1MAT-Fi, 13.01.2010 | DVB-T2 | 2
MPEG-4 within DVB-T

MPEG-4 AVC and MPEG-4 AAC encoding
within DVB-T is of course possible
DVB-T is only a transmission standard.
Countries installing DVB-T now are using
MPEG-4.

DVB-T2
New DVB-T standard: ETSI EN 302 755
(April 2008)
Pushed by BBC.
Higher data rates, better FEC (similar to DVB-S2),
better mobile reception capability.

DVB-T2 Overview
Multiple MPEG-2 transport stream inputs or
multiple generic stream inputs
Same FEC as DVB-S2 (BCH+LDPC)
COFDM (1K, 2K, 4K, 8K, 16K and 32K mode)
QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM
Bandwidth 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 1.7 MHz
Q-delayed and rotated constellation diagrams
PLP = physical layer pipes / time slicing
Flexible pilot structure (8 pilot pattern)
Time interleaving
MISO and SISO mode
PAPR = peak average power reduction

Fall-off-the-Cliff
A digital TV transmission runs til fall-off-the-cliff, that
means go or no-go.
no-go
go
All interferences causes

more or less bit errors.
If the bit error ratio is too
high, then the FEC in the
receiver will fail. That
means no-go or fall-off-the-cliff
if there are to many bit errors.

Advantage:
Information of each constellation point is now both
on I and Q axis.
Q part is delayed on another cell.
Cells will be interleaved and the I part cariing cell is
during the transmission far away from the Q part carriing
cell.
Frequency selective interferences can be better
compensated.

Influence of No. of OFDM Carriers

Each carrier is a sin(x)/x function.
The shoulders are an overlay of all sin(x)/x functions of
all carriers out of band.
The shoulder is more and more suppressed the more
OFDM carriers are in use.
1K, 2K, 4K, 8K, 16K, 32K mode
Higher shoulder
1MAT-Fi, 13.01.2010 | DVB-T2 | 55
Lower shoulder
Extended Carrier Mode
In 8K, 16K and 32K mode a wider spectrum

can be used because of the lower shoulder.
This is called extended carrier mode.
The data rate in extended carrier mode is
higher than in normal carrier mode.

Bit interleaver after FEC based on a LDPC word

Cell interleaver after mapping based on a FEC frame
Time interleaver after cell interleaver based on a TI frame

Task of Interleavers in DVB-T2
1) Bit interleaver interleaves code bits in a LDPC word

2) Cell interleaver interleaves mapped IQ values in a FEC frame
3) Time interleaver is a protection against long impulsive interferers
4) Frequency interleaver is a protection against frequency
selective interferers (e.g. notches)
1MAT-Fi, 13.01.2010 | DVB-T2 | 81

DVB-T:
1) Convolutional interleaving between FEC1 and FEC2

PAPR ACM Active Constellation Extension

ACM: outer constellation points can be shifted outward
without increasing the BER in order to decrease the crest factor.
1MAT-Fi, 13.01.2010 | DVB-T2 | 108
PAPR TR Ton Reservation
Reserved tones (carriers) can be switched on or of

and can be modified in amplitude and phase
to decrease the crest factor.
If TR is in use than the net data rate is reduced by
0.4 0.8 Mbit/s up to some Mbit/s, depending on
the transmission parameters (IFFT mode, guard, CR).

MISO in DVB-T2
but the implementation guidelines

are talking about MISO in frequency direction
how is MISO really be implemented in DVB-T2
Space / frequency diversity

instead of
space / time diversity

DVB-T2 Further Features

Auxillary stream insertion
-At the end of a DVB-T2 frame auxillary streams
can be inserted.
-Auxillary streams will be ignored by a DVB-T2
receiver.
-A sequence of cells carrying data of as yet undefined
modulation and coding, which may be used for future
extensions or as required by broadcasters and network
operators.
Future Extension Frames (FEF)
-An open door in the standard for the future
- Data frames for future extensions
- Unknown to a DVB-T2 receiver

In DVB-T there is a cell ID, which

identifies a SFN cell.
Transmitter identification is not possible
in DVB-T.
