Abstract

DVB-SSP is a new broadcasting system for hybrid satellite communications, which supports mobile handheld systems and fixed terrestrial systems. An upper layer, including erasure Reed-Solomon error correction combined with cyclic redundancy check. However, a critical factor must be considered in upper layer decoding. If there is only one bit error in an IP packet, the entire IP packet is considered as unreliable bytes, even if it contains correct bytes. If, for example, there is one real byte error, in an IP packet of 512 bytes, 511 correct bytes are erased from the frame. Therefore, this paper proposed upper layer decoding methods; LLR-based decoding. By means of simulation we show that the performance of the proposed decoding algorithm is superior to that of the conventional one.

이동체에 대해서 위성을 이용한 통신 방식을 규정하고 있는 DVB-SSP 표준화에서는 Physical Layer와 Upper Layer의 두 단계로 부호화 및 복호화를 한다. 수신단에서 Physical Layer의 복호 방식인 LDPC 복호 후 Upper Layer의 erasure RS 복호를 위해, CRC 검사를 수행하여 수신된 데이터에서 1 bit의 오류발생에도 IP 패킷 모두를 삭제함으로써 복호 시 비효율성을 증가시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LDPC 복호기에 출력되는 LLR 값을 이용하여 IP 패킷 전체를 삭제하는 것이 아니라 LLR 값이 낮은 비트만 선택적으로 삭제하는 방식을 제안하며, 이를 시뮬레이션 하여 기존의 CRC 방식과 비교하였다.
