Abstract

Demodulation and decoding of second generation terrestrial digital video broadcasting (DVB-T2) signals on general purpose processor platforms is challenging in terms of complexity and in terms of power. FPGA-based runtime acceleration for DVB-T2 allows for unwrapping the iterative structures of modern channel decoding schemes by using parallel hardware designs. Additionally, due to the sequential nature of the DVB-T2 receiver chain we can use partial reconfiguration to switch between different decoding modules. We will show in a theoretical analysis that this time-multiplexing approach can be used to realize resource-efficient DVB-T2 receiver chains at a much lower resource and power consumption as compared to solely processor-based solutions.
