Advanced T-DMB(Terrestial DMB )system which is a new portable mobile broadcasting system has been developed to increase data rate up to double of conventional T-DMB in same bandwidth while maintaining backward compatibility, using hierarchical modulation method. The Advanced T-DMB system realize high qualification of conventional T-DMB system by adding BPSK signal or QPSK signal as enhanced layer to existing DQPSK signal. The enhanced layer signal should be small enough to maintain backward compatibility and to minimize the coverage loss of existing T-DMB service area. But this causes the enhanced layer signal of Advanced T-DMB susceptible to fading effect in transmission channel. In this paper we applied the duo-binary turbo code which has powerful error correction capability to the enhanced layer signal for compensating channel distortion. And the computer simulation results about the performance of the duo-binary turbo code in Advanced T-DMB system are presented along with analysis comments.

본고에서는 동일 주파수 대역폭에서 T-DMB(Terrestrial-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting)의 가용 채널용량을 확장하기 위해 개발중인 Advanced T-DMB(AT-DMB)의 기술에 대해 소개한다. AT-DMB는 계층변조, MPEG-4 SVD(scalable video coding) 및 MPEG surround 오디오 기술을 이용하여, 기존 T-DMB와의 역호환성을 보장하면서 다채널 혹은 고품질의 서비스를 제공하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 향후 AT-DMB 기술 개발이 완료되어 상용서비스가 실시될 경우, 증대된 서비스 채널을 통해 다양한 비즈니스 모델의 모바일(mobile) 방송 서비스 제공이 가능할 것이며, 나아가 T-DMB 해외 시장 확산에도 기여할 것이다.

In this paper, we describes about implementations of Advanced Terrestrial DMB prototype system which can provide high higher efficiency of transmission and better quality of service than Terrestrial DMB(T-DMB) system for performance improvement of conventional mobile multimedia broadcasting system. And also we analyze field test results of the system. Advanced T-DMB system has been developed to increase data rate up to double of conventional T-DMB in same bandwidth while maintaining backward compatibility, using hierarchical modulation and turbo code. We conducted field tests to verify the performance of the proposed system through implementing of test system. As a result, we confirmed 0.576Mbps and 1.152Mbps were added to mode B and mode Q of Advanced T-DMB respectively than T-DMB system.

T-DMB(Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) system, is based on the Eureka-147 standard, provides various multimedia data services. However T-DMB system needs upgrades for more various services and better services. Therefore, we proposed advanced T-DMB system using unequal error protection system and hierarchical modulation in this paper while maintaing backward compatibility. And we simulated various bit split methods and double binary turbo code of DVB-RCS standard as method of LP data stream for additional service of advanced T-DMB. As the simulation results, double binary turbo code of proposed advanced T-DMB system have each coding gain of over 2 dB compared to conventional T-DMB.

The advanced T-DMB is the digital broadcasting technique upgrading the T-DMB which has low effective data rate compared with other things. Since it applies the hierarchical modulation, it has maximally twice as much the effective data rate of a T-DMB, so it can provides the video service of high quality and many stations more than a T-DMB. Therefore, the study for DAB service on the AT-DMB environment will be advantageous better than the previous studies for it on the T-DMB environment. So, this paper proposes the method of the channel allocation for DAB service on the Advance T-DMB system environment and presents the results of the interference analysis in order to verify that.

This paper introduces an Advanced Terrestrial DMB (AT-DMB) system which provides higher efficiency of transmission and better quality of service than conventional T-DMB system. In AT-DMB, a hierarchical modulation method is applied to transmit more data while maintaining backward compatibility to conventional T-DMB receivers. This method can provide not only high quality video service but also lots of broadcasting channels. In this paper, the performance of the hierarchical modulation in AT-DMB system is analyzed with computer simulation in several environments compared with the performance of T-DMB system.

T-DMB (Terrestrial-DMB) service is now available in the metropolitan area, but due to the bandwidth limitation, it is allowed to provide up to CIF resolution. As users' requests for high-quality mobile multimedia services are rapidly increasing and additional bandwidth can be provided by adopting the hierarchical modulation transmission technology, the research on the Advanced Terrestrial-DMB(AT-DMB) service using the SVC(Scalable Video Coding) scheme is being actively studied. In this paper, through computer simulations, first, while keeping the current T-DMB service unchanged, the visual qualities of AT-DMB services are investigated by varying the additional bandwidth. Then, by considering the cases that the overall bandwidth can be allowed to dynamically allocate to the T-DMB/AT-DMB video services, the performance characteristics between two layers are compared over the different kinds of video sequences.

This paper presents the SVC (Scalable Video Coding) scheme which enables the AT-DMB (Advanced Terrestrial - DMB) video service in enhancement layer, while keeping the current T-DMB video service in base layer. But, it is very complicate to implement the SVC encoder and so it is necessary to analyze the complexity and performance for SVC encoder's structures and coding parameters. In this paper, through computer simulations, SVC coding parameters are tested and then, based on these results, three types of SVC encoder models are compared from the viewpoint of the complexity and performance.

In this paper, we proposed advanced T-DMB system which is based on Eureka-147 using UEP coding methods and hiererchical modulation for providing additional services while maintaining BER performance. We simulated the proposed advanced T-DMB system using unequal l6QAM modulation scheme combined with various bit split methods and coding methods such as double binary turbo code of DVB-RCS standard and LDPC code of DVB-S2 standard. In the simulation results, double binary turbo code and LDPC code of proposed advanced T-DMB system have coding gain of 2dB and 3.5dB compared to conventional T-DMB system respectively.
