PROJECT TITLE :

Channel Bonding for ATSC3.0

ABSTRACT:

Channel bonding is an optional technology in ATSC3.0 that provides increased spectrum flexibility for broadcasters. Channel bonding spreads information of a single physical layer pipe over two totally different, standard-bandwidth RF channels. Primarily, it permits total service information rates that exceed the net capability of one RF channel, however also offers advantages for enhanced statistical multiplexing or scalable video coding services across 2 RF channels. The channels can be located at any frequency, not essentially adjacent to each different. Channel bonding receivers require 2 tuners, however still enable for simple and memory economical implementations. In explicit, channel bonding shares to a best doable extent the architecture of different 2 tuner operation modes (MIMO and diversity receiver), thus increasing the market success probability of this enhanced receiver type.
