2.1.8 Transport Parameter Signalling
The Transport Parameter Signalling (TPS) carriers are used to signalling parameters
related to the transmission scheme. The TPS is transmitted parallel on 17 TPS carriers
for the 2K mode, 34 carriers for the 4K mode, and 68 carriers for the 8K mode. Every
TPS carrier in the same symbol conveys the same differentially encoded information
bit.
The TPS parameter bits are described in
2.2 Extensions to DVB-T
The Digital Video Broadcasting - Handheld (DVB-H) standard is based on the earlier
standard DVB-T, which is used for terrestrial digital broadcasting.
DVB-H provides features to meet the specific requirements for handheld, mobile termi-
nals such as:
●
power off some part of the reception chain to increase the battery duration
●
ease access to the services when receivers switching to the next cell
●
migitate the effects of man-maid noise and severe mobile multipath channels on
the receiving capabilities
●
offer sufficient flexibility and scalability to allow reception of services at various
speeds
●
offer the flexibility to be used in various transmission bands and channel bandwiths
The basic technical extensions that make it possible to receive digital video broadcast-
ing services on handheld terminals are:
●
4K Mode and In-Depth Interleavers
●
Time-Slicing
●
Forward Error Correction for Multiprotocol Encapsulated Data (MPE-FEC)
2.2.1 4K Mode and In-Depth Interleavers
The additional 4K mode is an trade-off between transmission cell size and mobile
reception capabilities to improve network planning flexibility. The 4K mode is suitable
for single transmitter operation and for small and medium single frequency networks
(SFN). It provides a Doppler tolerance allowing very high speed reception. The mobile
reception is faster compared to the 8K mode and the cell size is bigger compared to
the 2K mode.
The additional in-depth interleavers increase the flexibility of the interleaving for the 2K
and 4K mode. The depth of the inner interleaver is enlarged to four consecutive OFDM
symbols (2K) or to two consecutive OFDM symbols (4K).
