Abstract

This paper analyzes a potential configuration of ATSC 3.0 for delivering local services in a Single Frequency Network (SFN). This application is possible using Layered Division Multiplexing-Local Service Insertion (LDM-LSI). This technique uses the lower layer as the bearer of local services, injected well below the upper layer (A=19dB). The paper analyzes the bitrate requirements and mode configuration of each layer. The field strength planning values and the specific processing for calculating the coverage probability values are also described. Finally, the configuration proposed is evaluated on a specific environment (San Francisco) where a planning exercise with population and location coverage probability statistics is also provided. The results show that fixed service coverage of both global and local services on an SFN can be easily achieved using LDM LSI.
