Digital video broadcasting (DVB) decreases the proportion of broadcasting channels used for existing programmes. Second-generation DVB standards offer increased bit rates, enabling more programmes per broadcasting channel than in case of the first generation. On the other hand, increased bit rate needed for high definition programmes requires combining of the capacity of few single channels producing a broadband one. Also, statistical multiplexing allows more efficient usage of capacity. Terrestrial broadcasting standard DVB-T2 enables the time frequency slicing (TFS), as a way of connecting channels at the media access control (MAC) level. This paper deals with the two types of a broadband channels at physical layer. Compared to the TFS mode, method proposed here utilizes the allocated bandwidth in a more efficient way. Index Terms-Digital video broadcasting, statistical multiplexing, time frequency slicing, physical level combining, FFT multiplying, adjacent channel combining.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
