Solution Overview

Problem

Existing broadcast communication standards, such as DVB-T2, face challenges in providing high-efficiency and flexible signalling coding and modulation methods for services with high receiving thresholds, especially with the emergence of high-data-volume services like ultra HD, where receiving thresholds exceed 25 dB or 30 dB in white noise channels.

Innovation Solution

A signalling coding and modulation method that involves extending and processing signalling data using predetermined patterns, conducting BCH and LDPC coding, parity bit permutation, punching, and mapping to achieve robust and efficient signalling symbols, suitable for high-throughput data services with variable lengths.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional coding and modulation methods are used for signalling, then the receiving threshold can be kept low, but the spectrum frequency efficiency and adaptability to high receiving threshold services deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereceiving thresholdVSAvoidadaptability to high receiving threshold services
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic selection of coding schemes and modulation orders based on service type and receiving threshold requirements. The system can adaptively choose between different coding methods (convolutional, Turbo, LDPC) and modulation schemes (QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM) to match the specific service needs, whether low threshold or high threshold services

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key parameters including code rate, modulation order, and coding scheme type based on the service requirements. For high receiving threshold services, the system adjusts these parameters to provide stronger error correction capability while maintaining spectral efficiency, resolving the contradiction between reliability and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If stronger protection is provided for signalling to ensure lower receiving threshold, then the reliability improves, but the spectrum frequency efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignalling receiving thresholdVSAvoidspectrum frequency efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different coding and modulation strategies to different parts of the transmission based on their importance and requirements. Signalling receives tailored protection levels appropriate to its needs, while data services receive optimized treatment for their specific requirements, avoiding uniform over-protection that would waste spectrum resources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the level of protection for signalling based on channel conditions and service requirements. When channel conditions are good or service requirements are modest, less protection is applied, improving spectral efficiency. When conditions deteriorate or high reliability is needed, protection is increased accordingly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the coding and modulation process into distinct stages with different algorithms optimized for specific functions. This modular approach allows efficient processing at each stage while maintaining overall system performance for high receiving threshold services, balancing complexity and productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Adaptability or versatility

If the signalling length is made variable to accommodate different services, then the adaptability improves, but the coding and modulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic signalling length adjustment based on the number and type of services in the physical frame. The system can extend or truncate signalling to match actual requirements, and the coding/modulation parameters are dynamically adjusted to accommodate this variability without excessive complexity through standardized processing blocks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
