Abstract

The paper studied the scheme of applying the MPEG-4 SVC signal to the Ka band satellite broadcasting system through the JSCC system to resolve the rain fading problem generated when providing the Ka band HDTV satellite broadcasting service. The Ka band satellite broadcasting system is based on the VCM mode of the DVB-S2, and the SVC signal is considered as one of the spatial scalability, the SNR scalability and the temporal scalability. The JSCC system jointed all the layers of the source coding system and the channel coding system, and allocated bit rate to source coding and channel coding for each layer to get the optimum receiving quality. The layers are consists of a base layer and an enhancement layer, and the bit rate of each layer is affected by the SVC signal. The applicability of the three SVC signals to the Ka band satellite broadcasting service is analyzed with respect to the rain fading, and the scheme of applying the most excellent SVC to the service is considered.

이 연구는 Ka대역 HDTV 위성방송서비스를 제공할 때 발생하는 강우감쇠 문제를 해결하기 위하여, MPEG-4 SVC (Scalable Video Coding) 신호를 JSCC (Joint Source/Channel Coding) 시스템을 통하여 Ka대역 위성방송시스템에 적용하는 방안에 대하여 고찰하였다. Ka대역 위성방송시스템은 DVB-S2 VCM (Variable Coding and Modulation) 모드를 기반으로 하였으며, SVC 신호는 공간 계위층, 화질 계위층 및 시간 계위층을 고려하였다. JSCC 시스템은 모든 계층의 소스부호화 시스템과 채널부호화 시스템을 결합하여, 최적의 수신품질을 얻도록 각 계층의 비트 율과 그 계층에서의 소스와 채널을 위한 비트 율을 할당하였다. 계층 수는 기본계층과 향상계층을 포함하는 2개로 제한하였으며, 각 계층에 대한 비트 율은 적용 SVC 신호에 따라 영향을 받는다. 세 가지 SVC 신호의 Ka대역 위성방송서비스에의 적용성을 강우감쇠관점에서 분석하였으며, 가장 적용성이 우수한 SVC 신호를 이용하여 Ka대역 위성방송서비스에 적용하는 방안이 고찰되었다.
