The second generation of digital video broadcasting (DVB-T2) standard utilizes orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system to reduce and to compensate the channel effects by utilizing its estimation. Since wireless channels are inherently sparse, it is possible to utilize sparse representation (SR) methods to estimate the channel. In addition to sparsity feature of the channel, the...

DVB-T2 is a second-generation standard for terrestrial broadcasting aimed at broadcasting to fixed and portable receivers. DVB-T2-based HDTV services have started being broadcast in the UK and other countries are planning to start similar services in the near future. This paper concentrates on the key features of the DVB-T2 system, illustrating how these build on the innovations introduced in t...

Digital video broadcast-terrestrial 2 (DVB-T2) is the successor of DVB-T standard that allows a two-dimensional multiplexing of broadcast services in time and frequency domains. It introduces an optional time-frequency slicing (TFS) transmission scheme to increase the flexibility of service multiplexing. Utilizing statistical multiplexing (StatMux) in conjunction with TFS is expected to provide...

The Digital Video Broadcasting second generation (DVB – T2) system transmitter and receiver are to be implemented and simulated using MATLAB. The existing system uses the Multiple Input Single Output processing unit (MISO) technology as a means of transmission. The proposing system is the implementation of the DVB – T2 system with the support of multiple antenna transmission and multiple antenn...

The Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) project has developed digital broadcasting system specifications which have been adapted worldwide. The family of DVB standards includes DVB-S for satellite, DVB-C for cable and DVB-T for terrestrial system. This DVB-T system has proven its capability and thus accepted as the standard for terrestrial system in m o s t c o u n t r i e s. D V B-T 2 i s t h e e...

In recent years, the development of advanced wireless communication systems has been rapidly progressing. In Europe, the 2nd Generation Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB-T2) and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) are the most promising techniques to provide multimedia services efficiently (in flexible quality and with high spectrum efficiency). The purpose of this work is to explore possible i...

The Digital Video Broadcasting organisation has recently introduced the second generation of terrestrial broadcast transmission standards, DVB-T2. The newly introduced tools ensure significant gain in performance of DVB-T2 compared to the first generation variant of the standard. One of these tools is the new physical layer concatenated forward error correction code. The inner among the concate...

DVB-T is the most widely used standard for digital television broadcast. With its introduction in 1997, it more than 70 countries. Almost all of these countries adopted new terrestrial broadcasting – DVB-T2. DVB-T2 best technology broadcasting, which offers better signal robustness, flexibility and 50% efficiency, compared with other broadcast systems. This paper focuses on ways to deliver MPEG...

DVB-T2 is offering a new way for broadcasting value-added services to end users, such as High Definition (HD) TV and 3D TV. Thanks to the advances made in digital signal processing, and specifically in channel coding, DVBT2 brings an increased transfer capacity of 50% and a new flexibility in services’ broadcasting in contrast with the first generation DVB-T standard. As DVB-T2 is still in depl...
