Abstract

In this letter, we propose a new soft decoding method for a Core-Layer(CL) signal in ATSC3.0 Layered-Division-Multiplexing Multiple-Inputs-Multiple-Outputs broadcasting systems. Unlike a conventional Gaussian-Approximation(GA) method, the proposed method decodes the CL signal by reducing a Enhanced-Layer signal simply to a QPSK signal, and thus exhibits greatly improved performance compared to the GA method especially for a lower CL injection-level.

본 레터는 ATSC3.0 Layered-Division-Multiplexing Multiple-Inputs-Multiple-Outputs 방송 시스템에서 Core-Layer (CL) 전송 신호에 대한 새로운 연판정 복조 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 기법은 기존의 Guassian-Approximation (GA) 기법과 달리 동시에 전송되는 Enhanced-Layer 신호를 QPSK 신호로 모델링하여 CL 전송 신호를 복호하게 되며, 실험 결과 CL injection-level이 작을수록 기존의 GA 기법에 비하여 월등한 성능 향상을 보인다.
