Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) - Framing Structure, channel coding and modulation for Satellite Services to Handheld devices (SH) below 3 GHz

Waveform definition for satellite to handheld services systems using hybrid satellite and terrestrial transmission below 3 GHz. This is designed as an extension to DVB-H and to interface with existing DVB-IPDC specifications.
The present document specifies a transmission system for hybrid satellite and terrestrial digital television broadcasting to mobile terminals. It is derived from the DVB-T [1] and DVB-H [6] system specification, respectively designed for digital television terrestrial broadcasting towards fixed and mobile terminals and DVB-S2, [2] designed for digital satellite broadcasting towards fixed terminals. The purpose of the DVB-SH standard is to provide an efficient transmission system using frequencies below 3 GHz suitable for Satellite Services to Handheld devices, in terms of reception threshold and resistance to mobile satellite channel impairments.
The system relies on a hybrid satellite/terrestrial infrastructure. The signals are broadcast to mobile terminals on two paths:
• A direct path from a broadcast station to the terminals via the satellite.
• An indirect path from a broadcast station to terminals via terrestrial repeaters that form the Complementary Ground Component (CGC) to the satellite. The CGC can be fed through satellite and/or terrestrial distribution networks.
The system includes two transmission modes:
• An OFDM mode based on DVB-T standard [1] with enhancements. This mode can be used on both the direct and indirect paths; the two signals are combined in the receiver to strengthen the reception in a SFN configuration.
• A TDM mode partly derived from DVB-S2 standard [2], in order to optimize transmission through satellite towards mobile terminals. This mode is used on the direct path only. The system supports code diversity recombination between satellite TDM and terrestrial OFDM modes so as to increase the robustness of the transmission in relevant areas (mainly suburban).
The present document specifies the digital signal format and the digital signal modulation and coding in order to allow compatibility between pieces of equipment developed by different manufacturers. Signal processing at the modulator side is described in details, while processing at receiver side is left open to a particular implementation (as far as it complies with the present document).

Foreword
This European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by Joint Technical Committee (JTC)
Broadcast of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Comité Européen de Normalisation ELECtrotechnique
(CENELEC) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The work of the JTC was based on the studies carried out by the European DVB Project under the auspices of the
Ad Hoc Group on DVB-SH of the DVB Technical Module. This joint group of industry, operators and broadcasters
provided the necessary information on all relevant technical matters (see bibliography).
NOTE: The EBU/ETSI JTC Broadcast was established in 1990 to co-ordinate the drafting of standards in the
specific field of broadcasting and related fields. Since 1995 the JTC Broadcast 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.

4 Transmission system description
4.1 System definition
The system is mainly designed to transport mobile TV services. It may also support a wide range of mobile multimedia
services, e.g. audio and data broadcast as well as file download services.
The system performs the adaptation and transmission of one or two (in case of hierarchical mode) baseband signals to
both satellite and terrestrial channel characteristics. Baseband signals at system input are, by default, MPEG Transport
Streams (MPEG-TS, see [4]) and are composed of bursts compliant with DVB-H time slicing [5]. Typically a burst
transports a given service (or set of services), e.g. a TV channel. The size of each burst may vary with time in order to
support Variable burst Bit Rate.
The present document applies to the MPEG-TS format but the support of a Generic Stream is not precluded
(see clause 5.1).
4.2 System architecture
Figure 4.1 describes the transmission system. It includes two modulation possibilities for the satellite path: an OFDM
mode based on DVB-T standard and a TDM mode, partly derived from DVB-S2 structure.
The following process, composed of a part common to both modes, and parts dedicated to each mode, shall be applied
to the input stream(s):
Both modes:
• Mode adaptation: CRC-16 and insertion of the Encapsulation Frame Header.
• Stream adaptation: padding and scrambling of the Encapsulation Frame.
• Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoding using 3GPP2 [3] turbo code.
• Bit-wise interleaving applying on a FEC block. The latter is meanwhile shortened to comply with the
modulation frame structure of OFDM and TDM.
• Convolutional time interleaving and framing.

1 Scope
The present document specifies a transmission system for hybrid satellite and terrestrial digital television broadcasting
to mobile terminals. It is derived from the DVB-T [1] and DVB-H [6] system specification, respectively designed for
digital television terrestrial broadcasting towards fixed and mobile terminals and DVB-S2, [2] designed for digital
satellite broadcasting towards fixed terminals. The purpose of the DVB-SH standard is to provide an efficient
transmission system using frequencies below 3 GHz suitable for Satellite Services to Handheld devices, in terms of
reception threshold and resistance to mobile satellite channel impairments.
The system relies on a hybrid satellite/terrestrial infrastructure. The signals are broadcast to mobile terminals on two
paths:
• A direct path from a broadcast station to the terminals via the satellite.
• An indirect path from a broadcast station to terminals via terrestrial repeaters that form the Complementary
Ground Component (CGC) to the satellite. The CGC can be fed through satellite and/or terrestrial distribution
networks.
The system includes two transmission modes:
• An OFDM mode based on DVB-T standard [1] with enhancements. This mode can be used on both the direct
and indirect paths; the two signals are combined in the receiver to strengthen the reception in a SFN
configuration.
• A TDM mode partly derived from DVB-S2 standard [2], in order to optimize transmission through satellite
towards mobile terminals. This mode is used on the direct path only. The system supports code diversity
recombination between satellite TDM and terrestrial OFDM modes so as to increase the robustness of the
transmission in relevant areas (mainly suburban).
The present document specifies the digital signal format and the digital signal modulation and coding in order to allow
compatibility between pieces of equipment developed by different manufacturers. Signal processing at the modulator
side is described in details, while processing at receiver side is left open to a particular implementation (as far as it
complies with the present document).

4 Transmission system description
4.1 System definition
The system is mainly designed to transport mobile TV services. It may also support a wide range of mobile multimedia
services, e.g. audio and data broadcast as well as file download services.
The system performs the adaptation and transmission of one or two (in case of hierarchical mode) baseband signals to
both satellite and terrestrial channel characteristics. Baseband signals at system input are, by default, MPEG Transport
Streams (MPEG-TS, see [4]) and are composed of bursts compliant with DVB-H time slicing [5]. Typically a burst
transports a given service (or set of services), e.g. a TV channel. The size of each burst may vary with time in order to
support Variable burst Bit Rate.
The present document applies to the MPEG-TS format but the support of a Generic Stream is not precluded
(see clause 5.1).
4.2 System architecture
Figure 4.1 describes the transmission system. It includes two modulation possibilities for the satellite path: an OFDM
mode based on DVB-T standard and a TDM mode, partly derived from DVB-S2 structure.
The following process, composed of a part common to both modes, and parts dedicated to each mode, shall be applied
to the input stream(s):
Both modes:
• Mode adaptation: CRC-16 and insertion of the Encapsulation Frame Header.
• Stream adaptation: padding and scrambling of the Encapsulation Frame.
• Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoding using 3GPP2 [3] turbo code.
• Bit-wise interleaving applying on a FEC block. The latter is meanwhile shortened to comply with the
modulation frame structure of OFDM and TDM.
• Convolutional time interleaving and framing.
TDM mode:
• Bit mapping to the constellation.
• TDM physical layer framing.
• Pilots insertion and scrambling.
• Pulse shaping and quadrature modulation.

4 Transmission system description
4.1 System definition
The system is mainly designed to transport mobile TV services. It may also support a wide range of mobile multimedia
services, e.g. audio and data broadcast as well as file download services.
The system performs the adaptation and transmission of one or two (in case of hierarchical mode) baseband signals to
both satellite and terrestrial channel characteristics. Baseband signals at system input are, by default, MPEG Transport
Streams (MPEG-TS, see [4]) and are composed of bursts compliant with DVB-H time slicing [5]. Typically a burst
transports a given service (or set of services), e.g. a TV channel. The size of each burst may vary with time in order to
support Variable burst Bit Rate.
The present document applies to the MPEG-TS format but the support of a Generic Stream is not precluded
(see clause 5.1).
4.2 System architecture
Figure 4.1 describes the transmission system. It includes two modulation possibilities for the satellite path: an OFDM
mode based on DVB-T standard and a TDM mode, partly derived from DVB-S2 structure.
The following process, composed of a part common to both modes, and parts dedicated to each mode, shall be applied
to the input stream(s):
Both modes:
• Mode adaptation: CRC-16 and inse
