Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) has issued ATSC 3 .0 as the standard for the next-generation of Digital Terrestrial Televisi on (DTT) broadcasting. ATSC 3.0 introduces several new features including Layered Division Multiplexing (LDM) that is implemented along with a wide range of modulation formats and error correcting code rates. ATSC 3.0 supp orts the legacy Single Frequency Networks (SFN)\, where the Guard Interval (GI) is considered to overcome the multipath as well as the asynchronous reception from different transmitters. Considering the huge distances betw een the DTT broadcasters\, the GI overhead could be comparable to the data size\, making the control/data ratio unfavorable. This work proposes a no vel formation of the channel matrix that jointly includes the asynchronous channel’s cross correlations for further joint detection of the signals at the receiver to the purpose of increasing the spectral efficiency whil e avoiding hectic guard intervals or directional antennas. We investigate asynchronous reception of signals from multiple coordinated broadcasters i n SFN with no GI. The capacity region is derived in an information theoret ic framework\, and an accurate mathematical channel model for the asynchro nous SFN is proposed. We show that by exploiting the asynchronous channels ’ memory and correlation\, the spectral efficiency can exceed that of th e non-coordinating schemes\, provided that the proper receiver is used. An alyzing the receivers\, we show that while interference cancelation (IC) r eceiver is sensitive to asynchronous reception\, the performance elevates in the iterative joint detection and decoding (IJDD) receiver. We use a lo w-complexity detection scheme minimizing the mean square error (MMSE) and adopt it to our asynchronous channel model. Our extensive simulations vali date that the proposed cooperative scheme provides a considerable boost in the coverage and channel reliability\, while increasing the spectral and power efficiency.\n\n19:35 Status report on HD Radio evolution in the US\, David Layer\, vice president\, advanced engineering in NAB Technology dep artment.\n\nThis session will focus on radio technical work being supporte d by NAB in 2021.
