Layered-Division Multiplexing in 5G New -Radio for Terrestrial Broadcast Services
Authors
Abstract
The 5G system can deliver simultaneously unicast services, multicast services and broadcast services using the conventional high-power high-tower (HPHT) infrastructure and with the same spectrum. The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) LTE evolved-multimedia broadcast-multicast service (eMBMS) have new features designed for Terrestrial Broadcast services in Release 14. A broadcast service means only receive mode, only downlink no uplink or inserting a SIM card not needed. In free to air reception without a SIM card or without user device registration with the network the content can be received. This specification is standardized in release 15. In this study a two layer Layered-Division Multiplexing (LDM) is used in 5G new radio (NR). A significant performance could be analyzed in a 5G-NRMBMS by using two layer LDM system for delivering terrestrial broadcast services. The performance analysis demonstrated by computer simulations. Using two-layer LDM in 5G-NRMBMS system a high-quality service can be provided to both handheld and fixed devices
