Abstract

See full text

Transmitter apparatus to broadcast coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (COFDM) radio-frequency carriers conveying digital television (DTV) signals encoded using Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) coding concatenated with subsequent low-density parity-check coding (LPDC) transmits the same coded DTV signals twice some time apart. The coded DTV signals are mapped to quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) of the COFDM carriers. Preferably, the circular Fourier transforms of COFDM symbols in the earlier transmissions are rotated one half revolution respective to the circular Fourier transforms of corresponding COFDM symbols in the later transmissions. Receiver apparatus combines the earlier and later transmissions of twice-transmitted COFDM signals as part of iterative procedures for de-mapping QAM and decoding the concatenated BCH-LDPC coding of the DTV signals.
