Inter-Tower Communications Network Signal Structure, and Interference Analysis for Terrestrial Broadcasting and Datacasting

This paper presents the Inter-Tower Communications Network (ITCN) signal structures using different combinations of multiplexing schemes, namely time-division multiplexing (TDM)/frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) and layer-division multiplexing (LDM). Data capacity is analyzed for mobile and fixe...

Sumario:This paper presents the Inter-Tower Communications Network (ITCN) signal structures using different combinations of multiplexing schemes, namely time-division multiplexing (TDM)/frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) and layer-division multiplexing (LDM). Data capacity is analyzed for mobile and fixed broadcasting services, as well as datacasting, inter-tower communication data, and SFN In-band Distribution Links (IDL). Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is investigated for ITCN and IDL to increase the data throughput and to improve spectrum efficiency. Backward compatibility with the legacy broadcast services and receivers is also considered. A hybrid broadcast SFN overlay with ITCN/IDL data
