Performance evaluation of multiple-PLP based LDM systems for the next generation terrestrial broadcasting

摘要

In this paper, we present performance evaluation of multiple physical layer pipe (PLP) based layered division multiplexing (LDM) systems for the next generation terrestrial broadcasting. In addition to a conventional multiple-PLP configuration, which is based on time division multiplexing (TDM), a variety of LDM configurations, which includes combinations of TDM and two-layer LDM, and three-layer LDM, are considered. Given three different broadcasting contents are delivered by three PLPs, performance comparison and analysis are provided when four different multiple-PLP configurations including TDM, two-layer LDM, and three-layer LDM are used.
