Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system and a method for efficient frequency use in a hybrid multi-spot satellite broadcasting system. More particularly the present invention relates to a satellite broadcasting system intended for broadcasting multimedia content to mobile end users.
- the solution proposed by the present invention makes efficient use of the frequency spectrum resources of the system by means of re-utilization of the satellite frequency for terrestrial repetition.
- the present invention is applicable but not limited to the so-called digital broadcasting by satellite, i.e. DBS, systems.
- Satellite systems intended for broadcasting towards mobile terrestrial receivers generally operate in the so called L band covering the range of 1 to 2 GHz or in the so called S band which covers the range of 2 to 3 GHz. It turns out that in both these bands, the available bandwidth is limited due to limited frequency spectrum. Moreover these systems usually require the use of terrestrial repeaters in order to overcome effects of degradation and fading in the transmission produced by multipath effects and/or blockage of the line of sight from the satellite. For example in the urban areas where tall buildings exit the blockage effect can become more considerable. Therefore, use is made of terrestrial repeaters that are usually installed at locations with high visibility towards the satellite.
- repeaters are capable of receiving the satellite signal and, after certain internal processing, of re-transmitting the same signal within respective areas of coverage where the users can receive said signal with a desirable quality.
- the frequency bands used by said repeaters are different from those used by the satellites and they generally operate within frequency ranges where also spectrum resources are scarce.
- large amounts of programs are usually needed to be transmitted to the users which in turn require relatively large system capacities. This factor is even more considerable in the European systems where multi-lingual multimedia applications are required, thus giving rise to a need for still higher capacities.
- Time diversity is a feature used so as to enhance terrestrial reception of the satellite signal transmission.
- use is made of an additional satellite located at a suitably separated position from the first satellite and transmitting substantially the same signal as that of the first one but within a predetermined time delay as compared to the signal transmitted from the first satellite.
- the direct consequence of using time diversity is that broadcasting one TDM bit stream which would normally fit in one frequency block would require more than three frequency blocks; namely, one frequency block of the first satellite, one further frequency block for the satellite delayed replica and more than one for terrestrial repetition which requires a more robust coding. Therefore, while time diversity helps enhance the reception capacity at the user terminal end, it requires a higher level of usage of the resources.
- the solution provided by the present invention provides substantial increase in the capacity of the satellite broadcasting system.
- the solution proposed by the present invention can provide a programming capacity of as much as 180 multimedia programs using even less bandwidth.
- one object of the present invention is that of providing a hybrid multispot satellite broadcasting system comprising at least one satellite capable of multibeam broadcasting of beams in respective frequency bandwidths, each one of said beams adapted to be broadcast towards a terrestrial repeater which is capable of receiving, processing and retransmitting said beam in a frequency bandwidth which is different from that of the bandwidth of the beam received, characterized in that a bandwidth of a signal re-transmitted from a first terrestrial repeater contains a frequency range substantially equal to a bandwidth used for a beam broadcast from said satellite to at least a second terrestrial repeater.
- said frequency range within the bandwidth of said retransmitted signal contains at least two bandwidths, one being different from the other, said bandwidths being substantially equal to bandwidths used for respective beams broadcast from said satellite to respective second and third terrestrial repeaters.
- said satellite broadcasts at least a first, a second and a third beam, each beam directed to a respective first, second and third terrestrial repeater, wherein, said first terrestrial repeater re-transmits said first beam using a bandwidth which is a combination of the respective bandwidths of said second and said third beams.
- Another object of the present invention is that of providing a method for a hybrid multispot broadcasting through a satellite system, said system comprising at least one satellite for multibeam broadcasting of beams in respective frequency bandwidths, each one of said beams being broadcast towards a terrestrial repeater which is capable of receiving, processing and re-transmitting said beam in a frequency bandwidth which is different from that of the bandwidth of the beam received, characterized in that said first terrestrial repeater re-transmits said signal in a bandwidth containing a frequency range substantially equal to a bandwidth used for a beam broadcast from said satellite to at least a second terrestrial repeater.
- Figure 1a is a schematic representation of a satellite system broadcasting in single beam arrangement according the traditional techniques.
- Figure 1 b shows the various bandwidths required for terrestrial repetition of a beam broadcast according to the satellite system of figure 1a.
- Figure 2a is a schematic representation of a satellite system broadcasting in multi-beam arrangement according an embodiment of the solution proposed by the present invention.
- Figure 2b shows the various bandwidths required for terrestrial repetition of beams broadcast according to the satellite system of figure 2a wherein the concept of re-usage of the frequency bandwidths is represented.
- Figure 3 is a schematic representation of a satellite system broadcasting in multi-beam arrangement according the a specific embodiment of the present invention wherein the concept of re-usage of the frequency bandwidths is shown for three frequency bandwidths.
- a traditional satellite system which broadcasts in single beam configuration.
- the satellite S1 broadcasts towards a terrestrial repeater R1 which is capable of receiving, processing and re-transmitting a beam broadcast from the satellite S1.
- the bandwidth occupied for each beam broadcast in downlink transmission from the satellite is Bs.
- the total frequency bandwidth required for the reception of the downlink beam and perform re-transmission of the same would involve one bandwidth Bs for the downlink and one BT for the re-transmission. Therefore the total bandwidth required would be Bs + BT-
- the second satellite S2 broadcasts a further overlapping beam thus occupying an additional bandwidth Bs which in turn increases the total bandwidth used for one single transmission to as much as 2B S + B ⁇ .
- a satellite system is used operating in the multibeam configuration wherein the satellite S1 transmits a respective beam to each terrestrial repeater R1 , R2 and R3.
- Each beam transmitted occupies a bandwidth of B s in analogy to example of figures 1 a and 1 b.
- the terrestrial repeaters R1 , R2 and R3 are capable of receiving, processing and retransmitting said respective beams.
- three repeaters are depicted which in turn would require three TDM bit streams of the downlink beam broadcast from the satellite, namely 3Bs.
- each one of these bandwidths have different frequency ranges and thus at the repeater side they are clearly distinguishable.
- each repeater would require a bandwidth B ⁇ having a maximum value of 2 Bs and as there are at least 3 bandwidths B s available from which one is used for broadcasting from the satellite, each of said repeaters could be allowed to use the other two bandwidths for its re-transmission needs.
- the total satellite bandwidth used for three TDM downlink transmission - in case of not using time diversity - is 3B S , and that each terrestrial repeater can thus use two of the three available beams with the condition that it always uses a frequency bandwidth which is different from the one used for the downlink broadcast from the satellite thereto.
- FIG. 3 For the purpose of better understanding, a hypothetical configuration of this situation is illustrated in figure 3 wherein the satellite S is assumed to broadcast three beams in the frequency ranges F1 , F2, F3 in order to provide coverage on six geographical areas under broadcast. Each area of coverage is also equipped with a repeater. As it may be observed in said figure, the repeater corresponding to each area uses the frequency bandwidths corresponding to two other areas of coverage. Therefore, the repeater located in the area which receives the satellite downlink beam under the frequency bandwidth F1 is made to use the frequency bandwidths F2 and F3 in order to re-transmit the signal to the end users within said geographical area. Likewise, the repeaters in coverage areas under frequency bandwidths F2 and F3 use the frequency bandwidth sets F1 ;F3, and F2;F1 respectively.
- the following table summarizes the above description for a better understanding thereof.
- a typical repeater of this kind makes use, inter alia, of an input RF stage comprising appropriate filtering and amplifying blocks, a baseband stage comprising means for modulation and an output stage comprising a frequency mixer and means for amplifying and filtering the signal which is then passed to an antenna for terrestrial transmission to the end users.
- the bandwidth selection is made at the filtering stage.
- a typical bandwidth selection means could be passband SAW filter although any other means known in the related art may also be used. It is to be noted that all these steps are known in the art and thus further description thereof does not seem to be necessary for the understanding of the solution proposed by the present invention.
- the present invention provides the advantage of providing substantial savings in bandwidth usage and thus increasing system capacity.
- the following example illustrates the above advantage in terms of programming versus capacity:
- a typical value for k could be 1.5, where k as discussed further above, corresponds to the difference between a satellite channel coding rate of for example % as compared to a terrestrial channel coding rate of for example Y ⁇ .
- 2B S for carrying the "utile" content
- 2B S for time diversity
- 2B T for terrestrial repetition.
- the total frequency blocks used for such transmission would be 7B S .
- the useful throughput is only 2Bs which contains the "utile" content carrying e.g. multimedia programs.
- a typical capacity for a TDM bit stream in each Bs block is 60 programs in accordance with the current practice in source coding. Therefore, for 2Bs the total capacity is 120 programs. Now if the solution provided by the present invention is applied for three beams being broadcast, a total of 6B S will be used from which 3Bs is used for carrying "utile" content, e.g. multimedia programs and 3Bs for time diversity. As each Bs has a useful capacity for 60 programs, then it is readily appreciated that 180 programs in total may be broadcast, thus increasing the capacity of the overall system while, as mentioned before, less frequency blocks have been used, namely 6 according to the invention instead of 7 according to the traditional systems.
- Another advantage of the present invention is that the multi-beam approach enables the supplier to provide services to population with diversity in their profiles; for example more efficient services may be provided to multi- linguistic areas with a reduced use of the resources of the system.
