چکیده

Recently, we proposed to combine time sharing with hierarchical modulation to increase the transmission rate of broadcast systems. Our proposal involves to group the receivers in pairs in order to transmit with hierarchical modulation. We introduced several grouping strategies but the optimal matching remained an open question. In this letter, we show that the optimal grouping is the solution of an assignment problem, for which efficient algorithms exist such as the Hungarian method. Based on this algorithm, we study the performance of the optimal grouping in terms of spectrum efficiency for a DVB-S2 system.

Optimal DVB-S2 spectral efficiency with hierarchical modulation

We study the design of a DVB-S2 system in order to maximise spectral efficiency. This task is usually challenging due to channel variability. The solution adopted in modern satellite communications systems such as DVB-SH and DVB-S2 relies mainly on a time sharing strategy. Recently, we proposed to combine time sharing with hierarchical modulation to increase the transmission rate of broadcast s...

Improving Broadcast Channel Rate Using Hierarchical Modulation

We investigate the design of a broadcast system where the aim is to maximise the throughput. This task is usually challenging due to the channel variability. Forty years ago, Cover introduced and compared two schemes: time sharing and superposition coding. The second scheme was proved to be optimal for some channels. Modern satellite communications systems such as DVB-SH and DVB-S2 mainly rely ...

Using WPT as a New Method Instead of FFT for ‌Improving the Performance of OFDM Modulation

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is used in order to provide immunity against very hostile multipath channels in many modern communication systems.. The OFDM technique divides the total available frequency bandwidth into several narrow bands. In conventional OFDM, FFT algorithm is used to provide orthogonal subcarriers. Intersymbol interference (ISI) and intercarrier interferen...

An Efficient Hierarchical Modulation based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Transmission Scheme for Digital Video Broadcasting

Due to the increase of users the efficient usage of spectrum plays an important role in digital terrestrial television networks. In digital video broadcasting, local and global content are transmitted by single frequency network and multifrequency network respectively. Multifrequency network support transmission of global content and it consumes large spectrum. Similarly local content are well ...

Multi-hop Transmission and Routing with Hierarchical Modulation

Hierarchical modulation multiplexes layers of different robustness into one stream. Usually being exploited in broadcast systems such as digital video broadcasting, hierarchical modulation can also be applied to unicast communications in a cooperative manner. This article deals with novel multi-hop cooperative transmission and routing strategies with hierarchical modulation. In multi-hop networ...
