Accès radio DVB-T/H vers les mobiles et les portables - Partie 2: Contrôles de conformité de l'interface

La CEI 62002-2:2008 fournit les règles et les lignes directrices applicables aux essais de conformité des équipements construits pour satisfaire à la norme CEI 62002-1, accès radio mobile et portable en DVB-T/H. Elle vise notamment à limiter le nombre des essais à une valeur pratique. Il incombe néanmoins au fabricant de garantir que le terminal satisfait à tous les aspects de la spécification de l'accès radio mobile et portable en DVB-T/H (CEI 62002-1). Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition, parue en 2005. Elle constitue une révision technique. Les principales modifications par rapport à l'édition précédente sont: Le DVB-H a été intégré dans la spécification principale. Tous les chiffres décrivant les performances ont été révisés pour tenir compte des nouveaux résultats de simulation et du développement de nouveaux récepteurs de référence DVB-H. Le DVB-H inclut à présent l'ensemble des différents débits du code MPE-FEC. De nouveaux types de canaux de propagation "portable en intérieur" et "portable en extérieur" ont été ajoutés ainsi que les performances chiffrées avec ces canaux. Un nouveau canal d'essai SFN mobile 2x TU-6 a été inclus. Un nouveau type de linéarité L4 a été ajouté. De nouveaux chiffres décrivant les performances particulières du DVB-H pour les types d'interférences S1, S2, L1 à L4 ont été intégrés. Une nouvelle méthode de mesure des interférences GSM a été ajoutée. La présente version bilingue (2012-03) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2008-05.

Overview

EN 62002-2:2008 (identical to IEC 62002-2:2008) specifies the interface conformance testing rules and guidelines for equipment implementing the Mobile and Portable DVB‑T/H radio access interface (see IEC 62002-1). This second edition is a technical revision that supersedes the 2005/2006 edition and extends the test suite to cover DVB‑H, updated performance figures, new channel models and interference measurement methods. The standard was approved by CENELEC in 2008 and sets the European conformance baseline for mobile/portable digital terrestrial TV receivers.

Key Topics

The standard defines test conditions, measurement methods and pass/fail criteria for interface conformance. Major technical topics include:

  • C/N performance (carrier-to-noise) measurements across Gaussian, portable indoor/outdoor and mobile channels.
  • Receiver input level limits (minimum and maximum wanted-signal levels).
  • Interference immunity tests:
    • Patterns S1, S2 and L1–L4 (dedicated DVB‑H performance figures included).
    • Co‑channel interference from analogue TV.
    • GSM interference - new measurement method added.
  • Guard interval utilization tests for echoes inside and outside the guard interval (echo tolerance).
  • Impulse interference tolerance and measurement procedures.
  • Mobile SFN (Single Frequency Network) channel tests, including a new 2× TU‑6 mobile SFN test channel.
  • Introduction of new portable indoor and portable outdoor channel models and revised simulation-derived performance figures.
  • Linearity patterns - addition of new L4 linearity test pattern.
  • Test architecture elements: reference model, test points, equipment requirements, test procedures and degradation/resynchronization criteria.

Applications

EN 62002-2:2008 is used to:

  • Verify conformance of DVB‑T and DVB‑H receivers to the interface specification (IEC 62002-1).
  • Support product development and receiver tuning by manufacturers (chipset vendors, device OEMs).
  • Provide test procedures for certification and type-approval laboratories.
  • Guide network operators and regulators in defining performance expectations for mobile/portable reception in terrestrial networks, including SFN deployments.
  • Define interoperability baselines for service providers and test houses conducting lab or field validation under interference and mobility scenarios.

Who Should Use It

  • Receiver and chipset manufacturers
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies
  • Broadcast network engineers and planners
  • Regulatory authorities and conformity assessors
  • System integrators and RF test equipment vendors

Related Standards

  • IEC 62002-1 - Mobile and portable DVB‑T/H radio access: Interface specification (normative companion).
  • ETSI EN 300 744 - DVB framing, channel coding and modulation for terrestrial television (referenced within EN 62002-2).

Using EN 62002-2:2008 helps ensure reliable mobile/portable DVB‑T/H reception under realistic interference and mobility conditions and supports market access across CENELEC member states.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.

(IEC 62002-1).
One aim is to limit the number of tests to a practical level. Nevertheless, the manufacturer is
responsible of guaranteeing that the terminal fulfils all aspects of the mobile and portable
DVB-T/H radio access interface specification (see IEC 62002-1).

Figure 1 – Reference model
The receiver performance figures are all specified at the reference point, which is the input of
the receiver. All conformance testing is performed at the same point.
In the case where the GSM rejection filter is included (terminal category c), the measurements
will be carried out in the front of the GSM rejection filter.
In the case of a DVB-H receiver, the manufacturer shall provide the specified test mode in
which the following parameters can be monitored:
• TS-BER after Viterbi decoder,
• TS-PER,
• MPE FER (FER) (Frame Error Rate before MPE-FEC),
• MPE-FEC FER (MFER) (Frame Error rate after MPE-FEC).
4.5 Degradation criteria and resynchronization
Four different degradation criteria are used. The criteria a and b are used in the non-mobile
cases for DVB-T. Criterion c is for mobile reception in DVB-T and criterion d for DVB-H
reception A receiver must be able to acquire a degraded signal and a resynchronization test
must be done to ensure the C/N or C/I value is valid. Once the degradation criterion is
achieved, all receiver input signals are removed for a period of 5 seconds and then re-applied.
The same degradation criterion must be achieved within a further 5 seconds. If that is not the
case, then the only degradation criterion that can be used for receiver measurement has to be
based upon successful signal acquisition.

a) Reference BER, defined as BER = 2 × 10 after Viterbi decoding.
This corresponds to the quasi error free (QEF) criterion in the DVB-T standard, which
states: ”less than one uncorrected error event per hour”. In the stationary reception cases,
QEF is equivalent to the reference BER after Viterbi decoding.
b) Picture failure point (PFP).
The picture failure point is defined as the C/N or C/I value when picture errors become
visible. This is preferred if BER measurements are unstable or unavailable. A more
objective definition can be made using the ESR (5 % erroneous second ratio) criterion,
which allows one erroneous second within the 20 s observation period in the transport
stream. Note that the reception quality is poor at picture failure point as one possible error
