METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HIERARCHICAL MODULATION OF DIGITAL BROADCASTING SYSTEM

摘要

A hierarchical modulation and demodulation method for a digital broadcasting system and an apparatus therefor are provided to enhance transmission efficiency through hierarchical modulation in a currently operated system. An RS(Reed-Solomon) coder(602) encodes the first broadcasting signal. A byte interleaver(605) interleaves the encoded first broadcasting signal. A convolution coder(607) encodes the interleaved first broadcasting signal again. A bit interleaver(609) interleaves the encoded first broadcasting signal. A second coder(617) encodes the second broadcasting signal. A second bit interleaver interleaves the encoded second broadcasting signal. A CDM(Code Division Multiplexing) multiplexer(611) multiplexes the first broadcasting signal and the second broadcasting signal outputted from the first bit interleaver and the second bit interleaver. A hierarchical modulator(613) hierarchically modulate the modulated signal by an 8PSK(8 Phase Shift Keying) type.
