Foreword
The system specification for digital terrestrial broadcasting has been produced by the Association of
Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) and has been approved as the Final Draft Standard by the
Telecommunication Technology Council of Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPT) in
Japan.

Overview

This draft specification describes baseline transmission system of the Terrestrial Integrated Services
Digital Broadcasting (ISDB-T). The system can transmit television programs, audio programs, or
data independently or transmit arbitrary combinations of them.

1.1

Scope

The draft specification specifies the transmission system which delivers IF signal with input signals
of MPEG-2 transport streams, which includes the re-multiplex, channel coding, modulation,
transmission control and the corresponding functions of the receiver, as shown in the functional block
diagrams in Fig.1-1.

Baseline of ISDB-T

By using MPEG-2 coding and systems in a multiplexing process, ISDB-T provides common

-3-

elements in operation and reception between digital satellite broadcasting and communications.
ISDB-T also provides flexible multi-program editing for different receiving conditions by
hierarchical transmission in a transmission channel, which is composed of Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-segments in which transmission parameters can be independent of
each other.
A Transport Stream is re-multiplexed and arranged into data groups (Data Segments) prior to OFDM
framing. After Channel coding, data segments are forming into OFDM segments, each having a
bandwidth of 429 kHz (6/14 MHz), by adding pilots.

1.2.1 Transmission Bandwidths of ISDB-T


The ISDB-T has a bandwidth of 5.6 MHz composed of 13 OFDM segments.

1.2.2 Hierarchical Transmission


In ISDB-T, the transmission parameters of the modulation scheme of OFDM carriers, the coding
rates of inner code, and the length of the time interleaving can be independently specified for each
data segment. Hierarchical transmission of ISDB-T is achieved by transmitting OFDM segment
groups having different transmission parameters in a channel. The maximum of three layers (three
different segment-groups) can be transmitted in a channel at the same time.
It should be noted that partial reception is regarded as one hierarchical layer.

1.2.3 Partial Reception


By limiting the range of frequency interleaving within a segment itself, it is possible to separate the
segment independently from the remaining segments in the transmitted signal. In such a way, partial
reception of services contained in a transmission channel can be obtained using a narrow-band
receiver that has a bandwidth of one OFDM segment.
It should be noted that one segment is dedicated to partial reception and its position is the central
segment of 13 OFDM segments.
Fig. 1-2 shows an example of hierarchical transmission and partial reception.

1.2.4 Multiplex for Hierarchical Transmission


Multiplexing in the ISDB-T system is in accordance with ISO/IEC 13818-1 (MPEG-2 systems). For
the hierarchical multiplexing in ISDB-T, in principle, a single transport stream (TS: defined in
MPEG-2 systems) is transmitted in a transmission channel bandwidth of 5.6 MHz, whether a
hierarchical transmission is in operation or not. For this reason, division and synthesis of the TS is
necessary and this process is performed at both the transmission and reception sides.
It should be noted that because a signal for partial reception is part of a whole signal in a channel,
part of a TS is received in partial reception.

Multiplex

The multiplex of the system is compatible with MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) ISO/IEC 13818[1].
In addition, a Multiplex Frame and TMCC descriptors are defined for hierarchical transmission with a
single TS.

2.1

Multiplex Frame

To achieve hierarchical transmission using the Band Segmented Transmission OFDM scheme, the
ISDB-T system defines a multiplex frame of TS within the scope of MPEG-2. In the multiplex frame,
TS is a continual stream of 204-byte RS-TSP composed of TSP and null data of 16 bytes or ReedSolomon parity.
The duration of the multiplex frame is adjusted to that of the OFDM frame by counting RS-TSP using
a clock that is four times faster than that used for FFT sampling.
The number of transmission-TSPs actually transmitted in one OFDM frame is shown in table 1-3.
The number is smaller than the corresponding number of RS-TSP on the multiplex frame shown in
table 2-1. The difference in number of TSPs between the two numbers corresponds to the number of
inserted null RS-TSPs.
The method of re-multiplexing a TS for the multiplex frame is predetermined in such a way that the
receiver regenerates the same TS (See section 7.2).

An example of TS in the multiplex frame is shown in Fig. 2-1. RS-TSPs in the multiplex frame belong
to layer-A, B, C. Null RS-TSPs are not transmitted.

Application of MPEG-2 Control Signals

For the hierarchical transmission, the next application rules are introduced.
2.2.1 Multiplex of PAT, NIT and CAT
The multiplex of PAT, NIT and CAT obeys the rule that:
-

these signals shall be transmitted in the most robust transmission layer or;

these signals shall be duplicated and transmitted in the most robust transmission layer and the
partial reception layer in the case the partial reception layer is not the most robust transmission
layer

2.2.2 Multiplex of PMT


The PMT shall be transmitted in the most robust transmission layer.

2.2.3 Multiplex of PCR-Packet for Partial Reception Layer


The multiplex of the PCR packet shall obey the rule that:
-

one PCR packet per multiplex frame is transmitted periodically (for Mode 1) or;

two PCR packets with same interval as that of Mode 1 are transmitted every multiplex frame
(for Mode 2) or;

four PCR packets with same interval as that of Mode 1 are transmitted every multiplex frame
(for Mode 3).

multiplex frame using a clock that is a half of FFT-sampling rate, Fs (Fs =512/63 MHz = 8.12693
MHz).
At the interface between the multiplex block and the outer coder, the head byte of the multiplex frame
(corresponding to the sync.-byte of TSP) is regarded as the head byte of OFDM frame. In bit-wise
description, the MSB of the head byte is regarded as the synchronization bit of OFDM frame.

3.2

Outer Coding

Reed-Solomon RS (204,188,t=8) shortened code is applied to each MPEG-2 TSP (See Fig. 3-2(a)) to
generate an error protected TSP (See Fig. 3-2(b)). Reed-Solomon code can correct up to 8 random
erroneous bytes in a received 204-byte word.
Field Generator Polynomial: p(x)= x8+x4+x3+x2+1
Code Generator Polynomial: g(x)=(x-1)(x-)(x-2)(x-3)(x-15)
where, =02HEX
It should be noted that null TSPs from the multiplexer are also coded to RS (204, 188) packets.

Division of TS

A TS from the outer encoder shall be divided every 204 bytes, and then sorted into up to three
predetermined layers in accordance with hierarchical control information. In this process, each TSP is
divided at the end of the synchronization byte and the SYNC of OFDM frame is delayed by a byte. In
the case of non-hierarchical transmission, one certain stream should only be defined as the stream for
the whole transmission.
It should be noted that null TSPs in the multiplex frame are removed at the splitter.

Loading of the sequence 100101010000000 into the PRBS registers is initiated at the start of every

Delay Adjustment

In the byte-wise interleaving, the delay caused in the interleaving process differs from stream to
stream of different layer depending on its properties (i.e. modulation and channel coding). In order to
compensate for the delay difference including de-interleaving in the receiver, the delay adjustment is
carried out prior to the byte-wise interleaving on the transmission side.
The amount of delay to be adjusted for is defined in terms of the number of TSPs for each layer
stream, as shown in Table 3-1.
In each layer, the total delay including 11 TSPs of the byte-wise interleaving and de-interleaving
processes itself is adjusted to one multiplex frame independently of its hierarchical properties.

Byte-wise Interleaving (Inter-code Interleaving)

Following the conceptual scheme of Fig. 3-5, convolutional byte-wise interleaving with length of I =
12 is applied to the 204-byte error protected and randomized packets. It should be noted that for
synchronization purposes, the bytes just after the SYNC bytes shall always be routed in branch 0 of
the interleaver (corresponding to a null delay).
The interleaver may be composed of I = 12 branches, cyclically connected to the input byte-stream by
the input switch. Each branch j shall be a First-in First-out (FIFO) shift register, with length of j 17
bytes. The cells of the FIFO shall contain 1 byte, and the input and output switches shall be
synchronized.
The de-interleaver is similar in principle, to the interleaver, but the branch indices are reversed. Total
delay caused by interleaver and de-interleaver is 17 11 12 bytes (corresponding to 11 TSPs).

Inner Coding (Convolutional Codes)

The system shall allow for a range of punctured convolutional codes, based on a mother
convolutional code of rate 1/2 with 64 states. This will allow selection of the most appropriate
property of error correction for a given service or data rate in the ISDB-T including mobile services.
The generator polynomials of the mother code are G1 = 171OCT for X output and G2 = 133OCT for Y
output.
The inner encoder, having constraint length k=7 and mother convolutional code rate of 1/2, is shown
in Fig. 3-6. The punctured patterns and transmitted sequences are given in table 3-1.

4.2.1 Delay Adjustment for Bit Interleave


Bit interleave causes the delay of 120 complex data (I + jQ) as described in the next section. By
adding proper delay shown in table 4-1, total delay in transmitter and receiver is adjusted to the
amount of two OFDM symbols.
Although OFDM frame SYNC is needed to be delayed, but the adjustment is carried out after the
synthesis of layer streams (See section 4-5).

Bit Interleaving and Mapping

4.3.1 DQPSK
The serial bit-sequence at the output of the inner coder is converted into a 2-bit parallel sequence to
undergo /4-shift DQPSK mapping, by which n bits of I-axis and Q-axis data are delivered. The
number n may depend on the hardware implementation. After the serial-to-parallel (S/P) conversion,
bit interleaving is carried out by inserting a 15-bit delay on the second output of the S/P converter
(See Fig. 4-3).
It should be noted that the Delay in Fig. 4-3 the delay corresponding to the amount of all the data,
which are dealt with during one OFDM symbol period in the data segments dedicated to /4-shift
DQPSK mapping. When data segments of Ns1 are used for the mapping, the delay amounts to 96Ns1
symbols (i.e. 96Ns1 2 bits) for Mode 1, 192Ns1 symbols (i.e. 192Ns1 2 bits) for Mode 2, and 384Ns1
symbols (i.e. 384Ns1 2 bits) for Mode 3.

Synthesis of Layer-Data Streams

After being channel-coded and mapped, complex data of each layer are inputted to pre-assigned
data-segments every one symbol. The assignment of thirteen segments is as follows:
- One segment is assigned for a partial-reception layer if the layer is used;
- A certain number of segments are assigned for differential modulation layer;
- Finally the remaining segments are assigned for coherent modulation layer.
The data stored in all data segments are cyclically read with the IFFT-sample clock; then rate
conversions are carried out (See Fig. 4-23).
Each layer is designated as Layer A, Layer B or Layer C in the order of the above assignment.
Fig. 4-12 shows synthesis and rate conversion processes.

The inter-segment interleaving is carried out among differential modulation (DQPSK) segments and
among coherent modulation (QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM) in the way shown in Fig. 4-16.
Where, Si,j,k denotes complex data shown in Fig. 4-11. Suffix n denotes the number of segments
dedicated for differential or coherent modulation portion.

where, Si,j denotes the complex data in a data segment after time and frequency interleaving.
The modulation phase of CP (Continual Pilot) is constant at all time (See Sec. 4-8-3).
TMCC (Transmission and Multiplexing Configuration Control) carrier carries the control data (See
Sec. 5).
AC (Auxiliary Channel) carrier carries the ancillary information (See Sec. 6).
Allocation of these pilot carriers is shown in Table 4-5.
Nc = 108 for Mode 1, Nc = 216 for Mode 2, and Nc = 432 for Mode 3.

4.8.3 Modulation Schemes for Pilots


Every carrier of four kinds of pilots is DBPSK-modulated and conveys the information dedicated for
each pilot.
(a) Scattered Pilot (SP)
The scattered pilots are modulated according to a PBRS sequence, Wi, corresponding to their carrier
index i. Amplitude of Wi is boosted as shown in table 4-8. The PBRS sequence is generated
according to Fig. 4-20. Initial values of the register are defined for every segment as shown in table
4-7.

(b) Continual pilot


The continual pilots are modulated in the same way as scattered pilots. The modulation phase of the
continual pilots is constant in all symbols.

(c) TMCC
The reference bit for differential modulation is the first bit of TMCC data, and its value is also
governed by Wi. Information bits of B1 to B203 are differential-coded to B0 to B203 by the next
algorithm.

B0 = Wi

(d) AC
The modulation scheme for AC is the same as that of TMCC. In the case of no ancillary information,
1 is applied for Bk as a stuffing bit.
4.8.4 Transmission Spectrum
All thirteen segments are numbered in accordance with Fig. 4-21. The differential modulation
segments and coherent modulation segments shall be positioned from inner segment to outer segment
in order of segment number. An example is also shown in Fig. 4-21 for three-layer hierarchical
transmission.

5.5.2 Index for Transmission Parameter Change


By counting down the index for transmission parameter change, the change timing is informed to the
receiver. The count down starts from 15 OFDM frames before a change. It should be noted that the
next of index 0000 is 1111. The change shall be carried out at the time when the framesynchronization word is transmitted following the index of 0000. In other words, new transmission
parameters shall be applied to receivers from the frame at which the index returns to 1111.

layer being not transmitted, the word takes 111. When next configuration-information is not valid,
the word also takes 111.

Channel Coding for TMCC Information

Except for the synchronization bits, information bits B20 to B121 are coded by (184,102) shortened
code, derived from the original CDSC (273,191) code.
Code generator polynomial:
g ( x ) = x 82 + x 77 + x 76 + x 71 + x 67 + x 66 + x 56 + x 52 + x 48
+ x 40 + x 36 + x 34 + x 24 + x 22 + x 18 + x10 + x 4 + 1

Modulation of TMCC Carriers

TMCC carriers are modulated in the DBPSK scheme (refer to sec. 4-8-3(c)).

Auxiliary Channel (AC )

The auxiliary channel (AC) is provided for ancillary data besides the broadcasting channel that is
transmitting video, audio and data by MPEG-2 TS. It has two sub-channels: AC1 and AC2, whose
allocations are shown tables 4-5 and 4-6.
It should be noted that the channel coding schemes for the AC will be specified after the application
of the AC channel has been determined.

6.1

Transmission Capacity

The modulation scheme for AC is DBPSK as described in section 6. Except for the first symbol used
for the phase reference, each AC carrier can convey 203 bits per frame. The transmission capacities of
AC1 and AC2 are shown in tables 6-1 and 6-2.
It should be noted that the capacity of AC2 depends on the number of differential modulation
segments.

After FFT processing, data are read out in turn from the 0th segment to the 13th segment at the OFDM
frame decoder. The data led to two demodulators by TMCC are demodulated in a differential
demodulator or coherent demodulator. Then the frequency and time de-interleaving processes are
carried out.

7.2.1 Input Stream to Splitter


After the demodulation and de-interleaving processes, the signal is input to the splitter in order of
segment number and carrier number (from low to high frequency, except for pilots) within a segment.
It should be noted that delay compensation between the processing time of differential demodulation
and that of coherent demodulation is necessary in the demodulation block.
An example of the order of segment data that flow to the splitter is shown in figure 7-4, where clock
denotes the FFT sampling clock. In this case, the transmission parameters are as follows.

No-Signal Period

In an OFDM-symbol duration, the data of 480 (=96useful 5segment) carriers are input to layer A,
then the data of 768 (=96 8) carriers are input to the B layers position, and finally the no-signal
period equivalent to 1056 carriers follows. Here, the no-signal period corresponds to the sum of the
guard interval and processing time for pilot carriers and remaining samples of 2k-FFT. This multiplex
frame pattern repeats 204 times in an OFDM frame.

7.2.2 Operation of Splitter to Viterbi Decoder


Data split into each layer are de-punctured and stored in each layers buffer. It is assumed that the
processing times are the same for each layer and zero in the model receiver.
When the k-th symbol data in one multiplex frame are input to the de-punctured block of layer X, the
number of bits Bx,k being stored in the buffer of layer X is as follows.
BX,k =2 ([k SX RX] - [(k-1) SX RX])

where [ ] denotes the calculation of rounded-down decimals, Rx denotes the coding the rate of the X
layers convolutional code, and Sx depends on the modulation scheme as shown in table 7-1.

When one packets data of 408 bytes are stored in a hierarchy buffer, switch S1 is active and the data
are transferred to a TS buffer. This transfer is assumed to be instantaneous.
The TS regeneration block looks up a TS buffer every TS packet period of 408 clocks, whether or not
more than one packets are stored. When more than one packets data are stored, switch S2 is
connected to the buffer and one packets data are read out. And when no data are stored in the TS
buffer, S2 is connected to null RS-TSP, and a null packet is read out.
Switch S3 switches the TS regeneration block to which the data are transferred from the layer
synthesis block at the head of the OFDM frame(in the case of Mode 1). Following switch S3, switch
S4 switches the TS regeneration block that delivers the data to the Viterbi decoder at three packetperiods (408 3 clocks) later to the change of S3.
For Mode 2, the switching period of switches S3 and S4 is half an OFDM frame (102 OFDM
symbols), and for Mode 3, it is a quarter of an OFDM frame (51 OFDM symbols).
