Abstract:

DVB-H, which is an amendment of DVB-T, offers reliable high data rate reception for mobile handheld and battery-powered devices. A link layer with error correction was defined to work on top of the DVB-T physical layer. The DVB-H standard suggests to use Reed-Solomon coding combined with CRC-32 error detection as the link layer FEC. This paper investigates the performance of the proposed error correction scheme, which is first analyzed theoretically and then by computer simulations. Results are compared to conventional Reed-Solomon decoding without utilizing CRC-32 error detection to illustrate drawbacks of the decoding solution in DVB-H standard.
