17、Link Only Air Interface Specification for Terrestrial Mobile Multimedia Multicast published by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) as Standard TIA-1099. These TIA published standards were based on input technical contributions from the FLO Forum. Founded in 2005, the FLO Forum is an in
18、ternational consortium of public and private sector organizations in the Mobile TV industry. Its aim is to promote the global standardization of Forward Link Only Mobile TV technology, to promote the availability of Forward Link Only Mobile TV technology-based product certification and testing, and
19、to promote the availability of spectrum for advanced wireless services on a technology neutral basis in support of the Mobile TV industry. Now comprising over 90 organizations from more than a dozen countries around the world, the FLO Forum fosters a contribution-driven environment for the advanceme
20、nt of Forward Link Only technology and the Mobile TV industry. Introduction An introduction to the Forward Link Only air interface can be found in Informative annex A.

ETSI ETSI TS 102 589 V1.1.1 (2009-02)64 System definition Forward Link Only technology is a terrestrial mobile multimedia multicast system for datagrams. These datagrams support a multiplicity of multimed
28、ia services, including, but not limited to real-time streaming audio and video, file-based audio and video, general file downloading services and the conveyance of IP datagrams. 4.1 General The objective of the Forward Link Only air interface is to provide a spectrally-efficient means for delivering
29、 multimedia datagrams over digital terrestrial broadcasting networks to mobile devices, including, but not limited to handheld terminals. The Forward Link Only air interface encompasses details of the: Physical layer. Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. Control/Stream layer. 4.2 Physical Layer The Fo

31、 air interface Control/Stream layer shall follow TIA 1099 1. ETSI ETSI TS 102 589 V1.1.1 (2009-02)7Annex A (informative): Forward Link Only Air Interface Specification Overview Overview The scope of the Forward Link Only air interface specification includes the following: a Physical layer, a MAC lay
32、er, a Control/Stream layer and a Transport layer. The different layers are depicted in figure A.1. Figure A.1: Forward Link Only Air Interface Layering Architecture Physical Layer The Forward Link Only Physical layer provides the channel structure, frequency, power output, modulation and encoding sp
33、ecification for Forward Link Only radio networks. The Forward Link Only Physical layer uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) as the modulation technique. In addition, it incorporates forward error correction techniques involving the concatenation of a parallel concatenated convoluti
34、onal code (PCCC), i.e. Turbo code and a Reed-Solomon erasure correcting code. In the Forward Link Only Physical layer, transmission and reception are based on using 4 096 (4 K) subcarriers. The QAM modulation symbols are chosen from a QPSK or 16-QAM alphabet. The Forward Link Only Physical layer tra

40、 in the order of corresponding channel bandwidths as shown in row 1 using sub-references a, b, c and d, as applicable. NOTE 2: Values in italics are approximate values. NOTE 3: The placement of the pilot sub-carriers in consecutive Forward Link Only OFDM symbols enables estimation of channels with d
41、elay spread up to two times the guard interval duration. NOTE 4: Data rates do not include the overhead due to use of RS coding. In each Forward Link Only OFDM symbol, there are 4 000 active subcarriers. These active subcarriers are further equally divided into eight disjoint groups called interlace
42、s. An interlace consists of 500 subcarriers that are evenly spaced across the Forward Link Only signal bandwidth. In each OFDM symbol, either interlace 2 or 6 is assigned to the FDM Pilot and is used for channel estimation. The interlace structure supports: The frequency-division multiplexing of For
43、ward Link Only logical channels, referred to as Multicast Logical Channels (MLCs), within each OFDM symbol, without the loss of frequency diversity. The minimum frequency allocation to an MLC, within a single OFDM symbol, is an interlace. Hence, at most 7 MLCs can be multiplexed within a single OFDM
44、 symbol. Frequency diversity is achieved as the subcarriers within an interlace span the total FLO signal bandwidth. The transmission of MLCs with fine granularity. For transmission at high spectral efficiency, tens of kbits can potentially be transmitted within a single OFDM symbol. The ability to
45、allocate a fraction of the subcarriers to MLCs supports low data rate MLCs without incurring a large overhead expense. ETSI ETSI TS 102 589 V1.1.1 (2009-02)9 The FFT block in the receiver can be designed such that only the required subset of interlaces, corresponding to the desired MLCs, are demodul
46、ated. Hence, when combined with the frequency multiplexing of MLCs, the receiver need not always perform a 4 096-point FFT, thereby reducing power consumption. Each Forward Link Only service is carried over one or more logical channels (i.e. MLC). An MLC has the attribute that it contains one or mor
47、e decodable subcomponents of a service that is of independent (user-level) reception interest. MLCs are distinguishable at the Physical layer. For example, the video and audio components of a given service can be sent over two different MLCs. A device that is solely interested in the audio component
48、 can receive the corresponding MLC without receiving the MLC for the video component, thereby saving on battery resources. The data rates required by multimedia services are expected to vary over a wide range, depending on their content. While low to moderate data rates, i.e. tens of kbps, may be su
49、fficient for data and audio streams, video streams may require instantaneous rates ranging from a few kbps to a few Mbps even though the average rate is in the range of 200 kbps to 300 kbps. Statistical multiplexing of different services, or MLCs, is achieved by varying only the MLC time and frequency allocations over prescribed time intervals to match the variability in the MLCs source rates. The possibility of varying the constellation and code rate assigned to an MLC is excluded in order to maintain a constant coveragearea for e
