Abstract

We propose and analyze two strategies to provide different levels of quality of service (QoS) to the DVB-SH standard. An extension of the interleaving scheme is investigated to support low latency service requirements for interactive services based on short messages. The first approach is a straightforward extension of the DVB-SH interleaver scheme based on an early-uniform interleaver profile, and the second one is the introduction of a super short interleaver, referred to as molded interleaver, which is embedded inside the standard DVB-SH interleaver. An exhaustive analysis, based on laboratory measurements, shows the benefits of the molded interleaver. Finally a comparison between the modified interleaving strategy and the use of hierarchical modulation is presented.
