본 논문에서는 LDPC에 근거한 semi-BICM 기법에 의해 다중 레벨 부호화(MLC)를 설계한다. 기존의 설계와는 다르게 그레이 매핑에 의해 MLC와 BICM을 결합함으로써 서로 다른 부호율(code rate)의 다수의 등가 채널상에서의 멀티미디어 데이터 전송이 가능하다. AWCN 채널용량에 매우 가까운 SNR에서 양호한 성능을 얻기 위해 랜덤 레귤러 LDPC 부호와 단순한 SA-LDPC 부호를 병렬 독립 복호가 가능한 MLC 부호로서 고찰하였다. 또한, 제안방식은 멀티미디어 통신시스템을 위한 전력 및 대역폭 효율을 얻을 수 있음을 수치해석 결과를 이용하여 나타내었다.

In this paper, we analyze the capability of satellite broadcasting systems to offer different levels of quality of service (QoS). We focus on the European telecommunications standards institute satellite digital radio and digital video broadcasting satellite handheld (DVB-SH) standards, which have recently been proposed for satellite broadcasting communications. We propose a strategy to provide different levels of QoS for the DVB-SH standard on the basis of an extension of the interleaving scheme, referred to as molded interleaver, which supports low latency service requirements for interactive services. An extensive analysis based on laboratory measurements shows the benefits of this solution. We also present a multilevel coding (MLC) scheme with multistage decoding designed for broadcasting communications as an alternative to the existing standards, where services with different levels of QoS are provided. We present a graphical method based on mutual information for the design and evaluation of MLC systems used for broadcasting communications. Extensive simulations for a typical satellite channel show the viability of the proposed MLC scheme. Finally, we introduce multidimensional constellations in the proposed MLC scheme in order to increase the number of different protection levels.

In this paper, we implement an efficient MLC/PDL system for AWGN channels. In terms of the tradeoff between the hardware implementation and system performance, proposed algebra LDPC codes are optimized by the Gaussian approximation(GA) according to the rate of each level assigned by the capacity rule and chosen as the component code. System performance with Ungerboeck Partitioning(UP), Miked Partitioning(MP) and Gray Mapping(GM) of 8PSK are evaluated, respectively. Many results are presented in this paper; they can indicate that the proposed MLC/PDL system using optimized algebra LDPC codes with different code rate, capacity rule and Gray mapping(GM) can achieve the best performance.
