Abstract:

DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld terminals) is a data
broadcasting standard based on DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting -
Terrestrial) that enables delivery of various Internet Protocol (IP) based
services to mobile receivers. To combat the effects of mobility, a Forward
Error Correction (FEC) scheme called MPE-FEC is introduced at the link
layer. Different mechanisms for decoding the link layer MPE-FEC based on
Reed-Solomon (RS) code have been suggested, but their effect on the
decoding complexity as compared to the standard solution has not been
analyzed so far. Yet, the complexity is still a crucial issue in battery
powered portable devices. In this paper, complexities of different RS
decoding algorithms together with their application in DVB-H are analyzed.
