4 DVB-NGH hybrid system definition
4.1 System overview and architecture
4.1.1 Overview
The Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - specifies the hybrid signal format, composed of a component
coming from the terrestrial network, and an additional component, coming from the satellite. Hybrid signals according
to the NGH profile reflected by the present document include an additional P1 symbol (aP1, see ETSI
EN 303 105-1 [1], clause 11.8.3). The satellite component of the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - is
defined for channel bandwidths 1, 7, 2 and 5 MHz (these three bandwidths are also covered by the Base Profile [1]).
Hybrid NGH signals can also be Base Profile compliant, in which case they are covered by ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1].
Besides defining the hybrid signals, the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - defines moreover the
mechanisms to receive two signals simultaneously (one signal from a terrestrial transmitter and one from the satellite)
and to combine their outputs to a single stream.
Figure 1 represents the high level NGH physical layer block diagram of the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present
document. Two chains are present, one for the terrestrial component and the other for the satellite component.
Compared to the Base Profile, the terrestrial and satellite chains of the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present
document - present potential functional differences in the BICM, frame building and waveform generation. The system
architecture of the satellite component is that of the terrestrial component, with the possibility of replacing the OFDM
modulation block by the SC-OFDM modulation block, characterized additionally by the absence of particular functional
blocks as explained in clause 4.1. Time frequency slicing can be applied to both, the terrestrial and the satellite
components.
NOTE: Blocks differing from the Base Profile are shaded grey.

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
9 ETSI EN 303 105-3 V1.1.1 (2022-03)
Both SFN and MFN configurations are possible for the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document. In the SFN
case, when the satellite and terrestrial components share the same frequency, the signal transmitted in the two
components shall be exactly the same. The system input(s) to the terrestrial and the satellite path may differ from each
other in the MFN case. In the MFN case, the system architecture of the Hybrid Profile of DVB-NGH - reflected by the
present document - is composed of two components: the terrestrial component, as specified in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1],
and the satellite component, as represented in figure 1.
MISO in the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - is applicable to OFDM only, to both, the terrestrial
and the satellite paths.
Table 1 indicates the allowed parameter settings for the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document. According
to it, the following hybrid cases can be devised:
• SFN, OFDM: The terrestrial network and the satellite share the same frequency and the same signal is
transmitted on the two components. The signal waveform is OFDM and the preambles of both components
consist of a P1 plus an aP1 symbol. The OFDM parameter set is applicable to both components, terrestrial and
satellite. Alternatively, the Base Profile could be adopted for both components. In that case the P1 part of the
preamble of both components consists of a P1 symbol only.
• MFN, OFDM: The satellite signal is transmitted on a different frequency, OFDM is used on both components.
The terrestrial component is transmitted according to the Base Profile, the satellite component according to the
OFDM settings listed in table 1. The preamble of the terrestrial component consists of a P1 symbol and the
preamble of the satellite component consists of a P1 plus an aP1 symbol.
• SFN, SC-OFDM: This case consists of the satellite coverage and of terrestrial gap fillers sharing the same
frequency of the satellite signal. The SC-OFDM settings are applicable to both components, terrestrial and
satellite. Preambles consist of P1 plus aP1 symbols for the satellite and the terrestrial component.
• MFN, SC-OFDM on the satellite component, OFDM on the terrestrial component: The terrestrial component
is configured in line with the Base Profile, the satellite component using the permitted SC-OFDM settings
outlined in table 1. The preamble of the terrestrial component consists of a P1 symbol and the one of the
satellite component of a P1 plus an aP1 symbol.

The exceptions are described in the following clauses.
NOTE 2: In situations where a receiver needs to time de-interleave both, the terrestrial
and the satellite signal, in parallel, limits for the time de-interleaver size
outlined in clause 6.2 apply to the combination of both signals, i.e. they
cannot simultaneously make use of the full specified time de-interleaver
memory size.
4.1.2 Bit-interleaved coding and modulation, MISO precoding
The block diagram, illustrating the functional differences in the BICM stage, is shown in figure 2. Further to the time
interleaving configurations of the Base Profile, the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - allows a
concentration of cells at the end of the logical frame sequence over which a FEC block is spread (uniform-late
interleaving).

4.1.3 Frame building, frequency interleaving
The block diagram, illustrating the functional differences in frame building stage, is shown in figure 3. This is the same
architecture as the Base Profile except for the allocation of space for the aP1 symbol. As far as the physical and the
logical framing is concerned, the same mechanisms are used for the terrestrial and satellite components. These
mechanisms are described in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1], clause 9. The frequency interleaver is applicable to OFDM only.

(applicable to the terrestrial and the satellite path)
4.1.4 OFDM generation
The block diagram, illustrating the functional differences in the OFDM generation stage, is shown in figure 4. The only
functional difference is the insertion of the additional preamble symbol aP1, following the preamble symbol P1, as
specified in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1], clause 11.8.3.

4.1.5 SC-OFDM generation
The block diagram, illustrating the SC-OFM generation stage, is shown in figure 5. The functional differences to the
OFDM generation are the additional spreading stage (see clause 8.1 below), a different pilot pattern, the absence of
continual pilots, the absence of edge pilots, the absence of a frame closing symbol (see annex A for the latter three), the
absence of PAPR reduction and the additional preamble symbol aP1 (specified in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1],
clause 11.8.3). Furthermore, the number of sub-carriers per SC-OFDM symbol is even.
Figure 5: SC-OFDM generation (applicable to the satellite path only)
5 Input processing
Input processing follows the same mechanism as the Base Profile [1]. The compensating delay function enables the
end-to-end delay of services transmitted in both the terrestrial and satellite signals to be aligned. An important use case
for this is hybrid combining of a terrestrial and a satellite signal in a hybrid Multi-Frequency Network (MFN). For
instance, the terrestrial signal may use time interleaving of duration 1 s for the considered input stream, while the
satellite signal uses 10 s. Hence, a compensating delay of 9 s shall be used in the terrestrial modulator for this input
stream, while the satellite modulator does not need any compensating delay.
6 Bit interleaved coding and modulation
6.0 Overview
The bit interleaved coding and modulation module is almost identical to the one of the Base Profile. The differences are
described in this clause.
6.1 Constellation mapping
64-QAM and 256-QAM constellations (uniform and non-uniform) shall not be used for the satellite component, i.e.
(NU-)64-QAM and (NU-)256-QAM are only allowed in the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - for the
terrestrial component in an MFN configuration.
6.2 Time interleaver
The time interleaving in hybrid signals is almost similar to the procedure described in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1],
clause 6.6 of the Base Profile. The differences are explained in this clause.
While the Base Profile ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1] spreads the IUs uniformly over the configured time interleaver length � ,
�
hybrid signals allow a concentration of cells at the end of the NGH logical frame sequence, over which a FEC block is
spread (uniform-late interleaving). Hence it is possible

1 Scope
The present document describes the next generation transmission system for digital hybrid (combination of terrestrial
with satellite transmissions) broadcasting to handheld terminals. It specifies the differences of the Hybrid Profile
physical layer part to the physical layer part of the Base Profile ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1] from the input streams to the
transmitted signals. This transmission system is intended for carrying Transport Streams or generic data streams feeding
linear and non-linear applications like television, radio and data services. DVB-NGH terminals might also process
DVB-T2-lite signals.

4 DVB-NGH hybrid system definition
4.1 System overview and architecture
4.1.1 Overview
The Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - specifies the hybrid signal format, composed of a component
coming from the terrestrial network, and an additional component, coming from the satellite. Hybrid signals according
to the NGH profile reflected by the present document include an additional P1 symbol (aP1, see ETSI
EN 303 105-1 [1], clause 11.8.3). The satellite component of the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - is
defined for channel bandwidths 1, 7, 2 and 5 MHz (these three bandwidths are also covered by the Base Profile [1]).
Hybrid NGH signals can also be Base Profile compliant, in which case they are covered by ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1].
Besides defining the hybrid signals, the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - defines moreover the
mechanisms to receive two signals simultaneously (one signal from a terrestrial transmitter and one from the satellite)
and to combine their outputs to a single stream.
Figure 1 represents the high level NGH physical layer block diagram of the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present
document. Two chains are present, one for the terrestrial component and the other for the satellite component.
Compared to the Base Profile, the terrestrial and satellite chains of the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present
document - present potential functional differences in the BICM, frame building and waveform generation. The system
architecture of the satellite component is that of the terrestrial component, with the possibility of replacing the OFDM
modulation block by the SC-OFDM modulation block, characterized additionally by the absence of particular functional
blocks as explained in clause 4.1. Time frequency slicing can be applied to both, the terrestrial and the satellite
components.
NOTE: Blocks differing from the Base Profile are shaded grey.

Both SFN and MFN configurations are possible for the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document. In the SFN
case, when the satellite and terrestrial components share the same frequency, the signal transmitted in the two
components shall be exactly the same. The system input(s) to the terrestrial and the satellite path may differ from each
other in the MFN case. In the MFN case, the system architecture of the Hybrid Profile of DVB-NGH - reflected by the
present document - is composed of two components: the terrestrial component, as specified in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1],
and the satellite component, as represented in figure 1.
MISO in the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - is applicable to OFDM only, to both, the terrestrial
and the satellite paths.
Table 1 indicates the allowed parameter settings for the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document. According
to it, the following hybrid cases can be devised:
• SFN, OFDM: The terrestrial network and the satellite share the same frequency and the same signal is
transmitted on the two components. The signal waveform is OFDM and the preambles of both components
consist of a P1 plus an aP1 symbol. The OFDM parameter set is applicable to both components, terrestrial and
satellite. Alternatively, the Base Profile could be adopted for both components. In that case the P1 part of the
preamble of both components consists of a P1 symbol only.
• MFN, OFDM: The satellite signal is transmitted on a different frequency, OFDM is used on both components.
The terrestrial component is transmitted according to the Base Profile, the satellite component according to the
OFDM settings listed in table 1. The preamble of the terrestrial component consists of a P1 symbol and the
preamble of the satellite component consists of a P1 plus an aP1 symbol.
• SFN, SC-OFDM: This case consists of the satellite coverage and of terrestrial gap fillers sharing the same
frequency of the satellite signal. The SC-OFDM settings are applicable to both components, terrestrial and
satellite. Preambles consist of P1 plus aP1 symbols for the satellite and the terrestrial component.
• MFN, SC-OFDM on the satellite component, OFDM on the terrestrial component: The terrestrial component
is configured in line with the Base Profile, the satellite component using the permitted SC-OFDM settings
outlined in table 1. The preamble of the terrestrial component consists of a P1 symbol and the one of the
satellite component of a P1 plus an aP1 symbol.

The exceptions are described in the following clauses.
NOTE 2: In situations where a receiver needs to time de-interleave both, the terrestrial
and the satellite signal, in parallel, limits for the time de-interleaver size
outlined in clause 6.2 apply to the combination of both signals, i.e. they
cannot simultaneously make use of the full specified time de-interleaver
memory size.
4.1.2 Bit-interleaved coding and modulation, MISO precoding
The block diagram, illustrating the functional differences in the BICM stage, is shown in figure 2. Further to the time
interleaving configurations of the Base Profile, the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - allows a
concentration of cells at the end of the logical frame sequence over which a FEC block is spread (uniform-late
interleaving).

4.1.3 Frame building, frequency interleaving
The block diagram, illustrating the functional differences in frame building stage, is shown in figure 3. This is the same
architecture as the Base Profile except for the allocation of space for the aP1 symbol. As far as the physical and the
logical framing is concerned, the same mechanisms are used for the terrestrial and satellite components. These
mechanisms are described in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1], clause 9. The frequency interleaver is applicable to OFDM only.

4.1.4 OFDM generation
The block diagram, illustrating the functional differences in the OFDM generation stage, is shown in figure 4. The only
functional difference is the insertion of the additional preamble symbol aP1, following the preamble symbol P1, as
specified in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1], clause 11.8.3.

4.1.5 SC-OFDM generation
The block diagram, illustrating the SC-OFM generation stage, is shown in figure 5. The functional differences to the
OFDM generation are the additional spreading stage (see clause 8.1 below), a different pilot pattern, the absence of
continual pilots, the absence of edge pilots, the absence of a frame closing symbol (see annex A for the latter three), the
absence of PAPR reduction and the additional preamble symbol aP1 (specified in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1],
clause 11.8.3). Furthermore, the number of sub-carriers per SC-OFDM symbol is even.
Figure 5: SC-OFDM generation (applicable to the satellite path only)
5 Input processing
Input processing follows the same mechanism as the Base Profile [1]. The compensating delay function enables the
end-to-end delay of services transmitted in both the terrestrial and satellite signals to be aligned. An important use case
for this is hybrid combining of a terrestrial and a satellite signal in a hybrid Multi-Frequency Network (MFN). For
instance, the terrestrial signal may use time interleaving of duration 1 s for the considered input

1 Scope
The present document describes the next generation transmission system for digital hybrid (combination of terrestrial
with satellite transmissions) broadcasting to handheld terminals. It specifies the differences of the Hybrid Profile
physical layer part to the physical layer part of the Base Profile ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1] from the input streams to the
transmitted signals. This transmission system is intended for carrying Transport Streams or generic data streams feeding
linear and non-linear applications like television, radio and data services. DVB-NGH terminals might also process
DVB-T2-lite signals.

4 DVB-NGH hybrid system definition
4.1 System overview and architecture
4.1.1 Overview
The Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - specifies the hybrid signal format, composed of a component
coming from the terrestrial network, and an additional component, coming from the satellite. Hybrid signals according
to the NGH profile reflected by the present document include an additional P1 symbol (aP1, see ETSI
EN 303 105-1 [1], clause 11.8.3). The satellite component of the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - is
defined for channel bandwidths 1, 7, 2 and 5 MHz (these three bandwidths are also covered by the Base Profile [1]).
Hybrid NGH signals can also be Base Profile compliant, in which case they are covered by ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1].
Besides defining the hybrid signals, the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - defines moreover the
mechanisms to receive two signals simultaneously (one signal from a terrestrial transmitter and one from the satellite)
and to combine their outputs to a single stream.
Figure 1 represents the high level NGH physical layer block diagram of the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present
document. Two chains are present, one for the terrestrial component and the other for the satellite component.
Compared to the Base Profile, the terrestrial and satellite chains of the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present
document - present potential functional differences in the BICM, frame building and waveform generation. The system
architecture of the satellite component is that of the terrestrial component, with the possibility of replacing the OFDM
modulation block by the SC-OFDM modulation block, characterized additionally by the absence of particular functional
blocks as explained in clause 4.1. Time frequency slicing can be applied to both, the terrestrial and the satellite
components.
NOTE: Blocks differing from the Base Profile are shaded grey.

Both SFN and MFN configurations are possible for the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document. In the SFN
case, when the satellite and terrestrial components share the same frequency, the signal transmitted in the two
components shall be exactly the same. The system input(s) to the terrestrial and the satellite path may differ from each
other in the MFN case. In the MFN case, the system architecture of the Hybrid Profile of DVB-NGH - reflected by the
present document - is composed of two components: the terrestrial component, as specified in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1],
and the satellite component, as represented in figure 1.
MISO in the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - is applicable to OFDM only, to both, the terrestrial
and the satellite paths.
Table 1 indicates the allowed parameter settings for the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document. According
to it, the following hybrid cases can be devised:
• SFN, OFDM: The terrestrial network and the satellite share the same frequency and the same signal is
transmitted on the two components. The signal waveform is OFDM and the preambles of both components
consist of a P1 plus an aP1 symbol. The OFDM parameter set is applicable to both components, terrestrial and
satellite. Alternatively, the Base Profile could be adopted for both components. In that case the P1 part of the
preamble of both components consists of a P1 symbol only.
• MFN, OFDM: The satellite signal is transmitted on a different frequency, OFDM is used on both components.
The terrestrial component is transmitted according to the Base Profile, the satellite component according to the
OFDM settings listed in table 1. The preamble of the terrestrial component consists of a P1 symbol and the
preamble of the satellite component consists of a P1 plus an aP1 symbol.
• SFN, SC-OFDM: This case consists of the satellite coverage and of terrestrial gap fillers sharing the same
frequency of the satellite signal. The SC-OFDM settings are applicable to both components, terrestrial and
satellite. Preambles consist of P1 plus aP1 symbols for the satellite and the terrestrial component.
• MFN, SC-OFDM on the satellite component, OFDM on the terrestrial component: The terrestrial component
is configured in line with the Base Profile, the satellite component using the permitted SC-OFDM settings
outlined in table 1. The preamble of the terrestrial component consists of a P1 symbol and the one of the
satellite component of a P1 plus an aP1 symbol.

The exceptions are described in the following clauses.
NOTE 2: In situations where a receiver needs to time de-interleave both, the terrestrial
and the satellite signal, in parallel, limits for the time de-interleaver size
outlined in clause 6.2 apply to the combination of both signals, i.e. they
cannot simultaneously make use of the full specified time de-interleaver
memory size.
4.1.2 Bit-interleaved coding and modulation, MISO precoding
The block diagram, illustrating the functional differences in the BICM stage, is shown in figure 2. Further to the time
interleaving configurations of the Base Profile, the Hybrid Profile - reflected by the present document - allows a
concentration of cells at the end of the logical frame sequence over which a FEC block is spread (uniform-late
interleaving).

4.1.3 Frame building, frequency interleaving
The block diagram, illustrating the functional differences in frame building stage, is shown in figure 3. This is the same
architecture as the Base Profile except for the allocation of space for the aP1 symbol. As far as the physical and the
logical framing is concerned, the same mechanisms are used for the terrestrial and satellite components. These
mechanisms are described in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1], clause 9. The frequency interleaver is applicable to OFDM only.

4.1.4 OFDM generation
The block diagram, illustrating the functional differences in the OFDM generation stage, is shown in figure 4. The only
functional difference is the insertion of the additional preamble symbol aP1, following the preamble symbol P1, as
specified in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1], clause 11.8.3.

4.1.5 SC-OFDM generation
The block diagram, illustrating the SC-OFM generation stage, is shown in figure 5. The functional differences to the
OFDM generation are the additional spreading stage (see clause 8.1 below), a different pilot pattern, the absence of
continual pilots, the absence of edge pilots, the absence of a frame closing symbol (see annex A for the latter three), the
absence of PAPR reduction and the additional preamble symbol aP1 (specified in ETSI EN 303 105-1 [1],
clause 11.8.3). Furthermore, the number of sub-carriers per SC-OFDM symbol is even.

5 Input processing
Input processing follows the same mechanism as the Base Profile [1]. The compensating delay function enables the
end-to-end delay of services transmitted in both the terrestrial and satellite signals to be aligned. An important use case
for this is hybrid combining of a terrestrial and a satellite signal in a hybrid Multi-Frequency Network (MFN). For
instance, the terrestrial signal may use time interleaving of duration 1 s for the considered in
