Introduction
An SDR system enables broadcast to fixed and mobile receivers through satellites and complementary terrestrial
transmitters. Functionalities, architecture and technologies of such systems are described in TR 102 525 [i.5].
Several existing and planned ETSI standards specify parts of the SDR system, with the aim of interoperable
implementations. The physical layer of the radio interface (air interface) is divided up into the outer physical layer, the
inner physical layer with single carrier modulation, and the inner physical layer with multi carrier modulation. These
parts can be used all together in SDR compliant equipment, or in conjunction with other existing and future
specifications.
The present document specifies the inner physical layer with single carrier modulation. The inner physical layer with
multi carrier modulation is specified in EN 302 550-1-3 [i.3], and the outer physical layer in EN 305 550-1-1 [i.4].
Guidelines for using the physical layer standard can be found in TR 102 604 [i.6].
The physical layer specifications have previously been published as "Technical Specification (TS)" type ETSI
deliverables. The present document supersedes TS 102 551-1 [i.7] and is recommended for new implementations. The
functional difference between the previous TS 102 551-1 [i.7] and the present document is that the exclusion of the
IPL-MC Mode 1 is taken into account.

4 Inner physical layer - Single Carrier
The functionality of the Inner Physical Layer (Single Carrier), in the following denoted IPL-SC, is to provide a robust
modulation scheme for single carrier transmissions. The single carrier modulation is mainly applicable to satellite signal
transmission but may be reused in other transmission environments. However, certain parameters are especially
designed and optimized for satellite requirements.
The IPL-SC is embedded between the OPL (C-TS delivery) and the RF frontend (modulation) as depicted in figure 1.

section can be handled individually (dashed box), whereas rolloff filtering is applied to the stream of mapped symbols
of many Phy section (due to its dispersive nature).

4.1 Interfacing to OPL (Outer Physical Layer)
Its interface to the OPL (Outer Physical Layer) is the C-TS (channel transport stream), which is defined in
EN 302 550-1-1 [i.4]. For this special IPL-SC, the parameters which are passed to the OPL are derived within
EN 302 550-1-1 [i.4].
This IPL-SC provides an input for only one single C-TS and generates the signal for one RF carrier. If more than one
carrier needs to be supported, multiple instances of the IPL-SC need to be instantiated in parallel.
The parameters that are passed to the OPL are as follows:
• frame length in integer number of CU (capacity units).
One IPL-SC frame is composed by a number of Phy sections. Their parameters are denoted in clause 5.
As different modes are distinguished (see clause 4.3), the interfacing to the OPL is also slightly different for the two
modes:
• For mode 1, it is mandatory to have integer numbers of CU which can be divided without remainder by 2 (for
QPSK), by 3 (for 8PSK) and by 4 (for 16APSK). Other numbers of CU lead to Phy sections that miss some
CU, and non-periodic preamble structure would be introduced.
• For mode 2, it is desirable to have integer numbers of CU which can be divided without remainder by 2 (for
QPSK), by 3 (for 8PSK) and by 4 (for 16APSK). Other numbers of CU lead to non-periodic preamble
structure for the different modulation orders.
Examples for a reasonable choice of parameters are given in clause 5.
With these parameters, the exact throughput of the IPL-SC can be derived in CU per time. The smallest unit to be
processed by the IPL-SC is one CU.
To be able to benefit from the gain of hybrid configurations (e.g. using IPL-SC together with IPL-MC), it is mandatory
to have equal frame lengths on both IPLs.
ETSI
8 Final draft ETSI EN 302 550-1-2 V1.1.0 (2009-12)
If modes 2, 2s, 3 or 4 of the IPL-MC [i.3] were used, the joint frame length of 432 ms is chosen for the IPL-MC frame
length.
4.2 The profile approach - different single carrier modes
To cope with different design constraints that arise from the possible use scenarios of the IPL-SC, two modes (denoted
mode 1 and mode 2) are defined which use a different share of pilots.
These modes are associated to profiles that are distinguished by their symbol rate and number of capacity units per
inserted preamble, so that their adaptation to different channel bandwidths is easily possible. Profile IPL-SC-A is
related to mode 1, and IPL-SC-B is related to mode 2, respectively.
For each profile, two examples are given.
To comply with the different profiles, profile IPL-SC-A needs to be capable to work with all symbol rates ranging from
3 Msps up to 12 Msps. A granularity (or step-size) of 88 ksps for the choice of symbol rates is provided in mode 1.
If compliance with profile IPL-SC-B is desired, symbol rates ranging from 1 Msps up to 3 Msps need to be supported.
A granularity (or step-size) of 5 ksps for the choice of symbol rates is provided in mode 2.
The main target frequency bands and channel bandwidths are:
Table 1: Different examples for the two profiles IPL-SC-A and IPL-SC-B
S-Band  L-Band L-Band 1,84 Msps L-Band or S-Band
4,31 Msps 10,87 Msps 1,49 Msps
Profile name IPL-SC-A  IPL-SC-A IPL-SC-B IPL-SC-B
Supported modes 1  1 2 2
Carrier frequency
2,0 GHz to 2,3  1,4 GHz to 1,5 1,4 GHz to 1,5 GHz 1,4 GHz to 1,5 GHz
GHz GHz 2,0 GHz to 2,3 GHz
Channel bandwidth 4,96 MHz  12,5 MHz 2,12 MHz 1,71 MHz
Symbol rate
4,31 Msps  10,87 Msps 1,84 Msps 1,49 Msps
min/max symbol rate 3 Msps/12 Msps  3 Msps / 12 Msps 1 Msps / 3 Msps 1 Msps / 3 Msps
IPL-SC frame length 432 ms  432 ms 432 ms 432 ms

The present document does not restrict its use to the application scenarios as denoted above. Other frequency bands or
channel bandwidths may be used but the parameter selection may not be optimal.
4.3 Generation of one Phy section
4.3.1 Overview
One Phy section consists of the following 3 parts:
• preamble;
• data payload (capacity units, CU, etc.);
• signalling bits (RFU: reserved for future use).
Insertion of preambles is different for mode 1 and mode 2, therefore the preamble insertion is distinguished within the
following clauses.

EN 302 550-1-1 [i.4]. For this special IPL-SC, the parameters which are passed to the OPL are derived within
EN 302 550-1-1 [i.4].
This IPL-SC provides an input for only one single C-TS and generates the signal for one RF carrier. If more than one
carrier needs to be supported, multiple instances of the IPL-SC need to be instantiated in parallel.
The parameters that are passed to the OPL are as follows:
• frame length in integer number of CU (capacity units).
One IPL-SC frame is composed by a number of Phy sections. Their parameters are denoted in clause 5.
As different modes are distinguished (see clause 4.3), the interfacing to the OPL is also slightly different for the two
modes:
• For mode 1, it is mandatory to have integer numbers of CU which can be divided without remainder by 2 (for
QPSK), by 3 (for 8PSK) and by 4 (for 16APSK). Other numbers of CU lead to Phy sections that miss some
CU, and non-periodic preamble structure would be introduced.
• For mode 2, it is desirable to have integer numbers of CU which can be divided without remainder by 2 (for
QPSK), by 3 (for 8PSK) and by 4 (for 16APSK). Other numbers of CU lead to non-periodic preamble
structure for the different modulation orders.
Examples for a reasonable choice of parameters are given in clause 5.
With these parameters, the exact throughput of the IPL-SC can be derived in CU per time. The smallest unit to be
processed by the IPL-SC is one CU.
To be able to benefit from the gain of hybrid configurations (e.g. using IPL-SC together with IPL-MC), it is mandatory
to have equal frame lengths on both IPLs.
ETSI
8 ETSI EN 302 550-1-2 V1.1.1 (2010-02)
If modes 2, 2s, 3 or 4 of the IPL-MC [i.3] were used, the joint frame length of 432 ms is chosen for the IPL-MC frame
length.
4.2 The profile approach - different single carrier modes
To cope with different design constraints that arise from the possible use scenarios of the IPL-SC, two modes (denoted
mode 1 and mode 2) are defined which use a different share of pilots.
These modes are associated to profiles that are distinguished by their symbol rate and number of capacity units per
inserted preamble, so that their adaptation to different channel bandwidths is easily possible. Profile IPL-SC-A is
related to mode 1, and IPL-SC-B is related to mode 2, respectively.
For each profile, two examples are given.
To comply with the different profiles, profile IPL-SC-A needs to be capable to work with all symbol rates ranging from
3 Msps up to 12 Msps. A granularity (or step-size) of 88 ksps for the choice of symbol rates is provided in mode 1.
If compliance with profile IPL-SC-B is desired, symbol rates ranging from 1 Msps up to 3 Msps need to be supported.
A granularity (or step-size) of 5 ksps for the choice of symbol rates is provided in mode 2.
The main target frequency bands and channel bandwidths are:

The present document does not restrict its use to the application scenarios as denoted above. Other frequency bands or
channel bandwidths may be used but the parameter selection may not be optimal.
4.3 Generation of one Phy section
4.3.1 Overview
One Phy section consists of the following 3 parts:
• preamble;
• data payload (capacity units, CU, etc.);
• signalling bits (RFU: reserved for future use).
Insertion of preambles is different for mode 1 and mode 2, therefore the preamble insertion is distinguished within the
following clauses.

Introduction An SDR system enables broadcast to fixed and mobile receivers through satellites and complementary terrestrial transmitters. Functionalities, architecture and technologies of such systems are described in TR 102 525 [i.5]. Several existing and planned ETSI standards specify parts of the SDR system, with the aim of interoperable implementations. The physical layer of the radio interface (air interface) is divided up into the outer physical layer, the inner physical layer with single carrier modulation, and the inner physical layer with multi carrier modulation. These parts can be used all together in SDR compliant equipment, or in conjunction with other existing and future specifications. The present document specifies the inner physical layer with single carrier modulation. The inner physical layer with multi carrier modulation is specified in EN 302 550-1-3 [i.3], and the outer physical layer in EN 305 550-1-1 [i.4]. Guidelines for using the physical layer standard can be found in TR 102 604 [i.6].
The physical layer specifications have previously been published as "Technical Specification (TS)" type ETSI deliverables. The present document supersedes TS 102 551-1 [i.7] and is recommended for new implementations. The functional difference between the previous TS 102 551-1 [i.7] and the present document is that the exclusion of the IPL-MC Mode 1 is taken into account. SIST EN 302 550-1-2 V1.1.1:2010
