12、oduction to A/153. However, from the receiver developers point of view, there are some important considerations when porting a mobile video stack from another technology to A/153. This Section is an overview of the most important areas of interest that should be considered by developers. 3.1 Softwar

13、e Stack Overview The A/153 standard for ATSC mobile DTV is defined in eight Parts. Part 1 (Overview the SSC and FIC provide only the current running content information. Therefore, the receiver tunes to the appropriate frequency and selects the appropriate M/H Service, after which the physical layer

14、 can be treated as an abstract pipe that simply delivers bytes. 3.2.5 Data Structure, Logical Pipes, and Physical Layer Abstraction Besides the physical tuning elements mentioned above, another aspect of A/153 which makes a pure stack abstraction difficult is the structure of data in the emitted sig

15、nal. The structure is a consequence of the flexible way that A/153 uses Forward Error Correction (FEC). A/153 provides for multiple logical pipes within each emission, each pipe having independent FEC settings. An M/H emission may include one or more M/H Ensembles. An M/H Ensemble is a collection of

16、 M/H Services which all have the same Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding. Each Ensemble may be coded to a different level of FEC to meet different application requirements. For example, a FLUTE 11 data carousel may not require as strong an FEC code as audio or video streams. Each Ensemble is enco

17、ded using a dedicated sequence of Reed-Solomon (RS) Frames with particular attendant FEC configurations, as a result of this requirement for independent FEC settings. Note that although the A/153 standard permits carrying components of a service across multiple Ensembles, decoding of components from

18、 more than one Ensemble at a time is not expected to be a feature of all receivers, at least in early implementations. Implementation of such a multi-Ensemble Service requires consideration on the part of broadcasters and receiver manufacturers of the required or optional nature of the various Servi

19、ce components, and the capabilities of fielded receivers, especially the possible need for dual tuners in some cases. 3.2.6 A/153 Packet Format Before transmitting bytes over the A/153 physical layer, data are formatted as datagrams. Datagrams are carried within RS Frames, and the basic datagram for

20、mat is UDP/IPv4 (User Datagram Protocol / Internet Protocol version 4). This leads to an important difference with other physical layers for mobile video. Since this is a broadcast technology, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is not used because it requires a bidirectional link. User Datagram Pro

21、tocol (UDP) (Part of Internet Protocol (IP) is used in this technology because it is an unacknowledged unidirectional protocol and therefore can be used over a simplex link. The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) provides datagrams with defined order and timing. Network Time Protocol (NTP) “tics” an

22、d RTP Sender Report packets are used in order to keep audio and video streams synchronized. This results in datagrams having defined playback timing and location. 3.2.7 Video and Audio Codecs, and File Delivery Protocol Once RTP packets arrive, the video and audio decoders can go to work. In A/153,

23、the video compression used is AVC, with optional CEA-708 closed captions, and optional (Active Format Description (AFD) (for optimal cropping of a 16:9 image for a 4:3 screen). Certain constraints are used to ensure that the source compression is compatible with mobile chipsets; see Part 7 of A/153

24、for details. The audio compression used is HE AAC v2 (High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding version 2); source audio is mono or stereo.

25、-CEA-CEB26-A 9 Surround sound is possible, but not standardized. That is, A/153 does not indicate how to code multichannel sound and it does not have a method for signaling what type of surround is being used. In theory, the “dynamic range” payload type or RTP payload type can be used to signal mult

26、ichannel sound, but this is not standardized. Instead, multichannel detection is embedded in the various surround decoders; that is, the surround demultiplexer/decoder for a given technology will recognize that technology and act accordingly. However, multichannel technology is generally outside the

27、 scope of A/153. Files are delivered using File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (FLUTE). This may be for Service Guide (SG) (see A/153 Part 4), application presentation data encoded as Rich Media Environment (RME) (see A/153 Part 5), or Non-Real-Time services. It is also possible to receive a

28、 Rights Object by file delivery, but not through the broadcast medium; that requires a use of the Interactivity Channel. In addition, a Service Guide may be delivered by the Interactivity Channel.

Each block is represented at a very high level. Some

This M/H system provides burst transmission of the M/H data, which allows the M/H receiver to c

Detailed specification of the M/H Transmission system can be found in ATSC A/153 Part 2 2. 4.2 Receiving Antennas The c

33、hoice of an antenna system is an important consideration in the design of the receiver system and the implementation is often an optimization between the requirements for performance, aesthetics, and complexity. Some design considerations for the antenna system are briefly discussed below. 1 The the

35、onment Special consideration should be given to the dynamic conditions of the RF propagation channel (multipath, Doppler), potentially large variations in the RF input power as the receiver moves relative to the transmitting tower, and interference levels (either in-band or out-of-band) that could o

36、ccur during routine operation. The simplest channel model consists of an unimpaired desired signal in a static channel with a small amount of random Gaussian thermal noise generated within the receiver system. In this case, the BER will be determined by the RF input power of the desired signal and i

37、s limited by the equivalent receiver system input noise power (typically specified as the receiver Noise Figure). This can be considered as the noise-limited receiver system sensitivity. Generally, the environment that will be encountered is much more complex. Typically, the channel is subject to mu

38、ltipath distortion, Doppler shift, or extraneous interfering signals on other frequencies; and therefore the required RF input power to produce the same BER will generally be greater compared to that of the Gaussian channel model. Additionally, the channel characteristics are time-variant and change

39、 with receiver movement. To optimize the system performance, the receiver should have not only adequate sensitivity in a Gaussian channel, but also should have a wide dynamic range to minimize overload or desensitization under high field-strength conditions. 4.2.2 Antenna Gain and Radiation Pattern

40、U.S. DTV stations broadcast on VHF channels 2-13 (54 MHz 88 MHz, 174 MHz 216 MHz) and UHF channels 14-51 (470 MHz 698 MHz), with most stations operating on the UHF channels. Stations are required to have a horizontally polarized component of their signal, but some have a vertically polarized compone

41、nt as well. Ideally, the polarization of the receiving antenna should match that of the transmitter, but due to reflections and scattering, the polarization at the receiver is difficult to accurately predict. From a practical perspective, the received signal should be considered to be randomly polar

42、ized, with varying amounts of power contained in both the vertical and horizontal planes. The simplest implementation could consist of a single antenna element that is used for reception in both the VHF and UHF frequency bands. However, optimizing the antenna gain and obtaining a suitable impedance

43、match over a wide frequency range may require the use of multiple elements. For reception in the UHF band, it should be possible to achieve about 0dBi gain with a relatively small antenna. Achieving this amount of gain on the VHF channels becomes more problematic as the antenna becomes physically la

44、rger (for example, a /4 whip is about 55” long 54 MHz). Expected antenna gain and efficiency values for Mobile Handheld and Personal Player receiver antennas can be found in Section 4.1.2.4 of ATSC A/174 16. 4.2.3 Active versus Passive Design An active antenna typically has a low-noise amplifier (LN

45、A) integrated at the feedpoint of the antenna element(s) and provides the advantage of minimizing the coaxial cable loss between the antenna and the receiver. DC power is typically provided to the LNA through the coaxial cable using RF isolated biasing circuitry in the receiver. The feedline loss, w

46、hich is dependent on the cable type, cable length, and operating frequency, will result in a corresponding reduction of the RF input power to the receiver and a subsequent reduction in the service range from the transmitting tower. For example, for properly terminated cable (VSWR=1), the loss Copyri

These lo

48、sses will increase with higher mismatch and VSWR values. Active antenna designs typically use a fixed gain amplifier with a high compression point to minimize the generation of IMD (Intermodulation Distortion) products under high field-strength conditions. Excessive LNA gain should be avoided and sh

49、ould only be high enough as to negate the effects of the anticipated cable loss and the receiver Noise Figure. Non-amplified passive antenna designs are generally less complex to implement, may require a smaller packaging space (since the LNA circuitry is not required), and may reduce the likelihood of receiver overload in high field-strength areas due to the overa
