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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Part 3: Common API



1 Scope
This part of IEC 62516 describes the T-DMB common application program interface (API). It
provides a software platform that, when combined with the T-DMB O/S, forms a universal
interface for application programs. This interface allows application programs to be written in
such a way that they run on any T-DMB receiver unit, as described in IEC 62516-1:2009 and
IEC 62516-2:2011 regardless of its manufacturer.
This part of IEC 62516 also defines a software environment that allows multiple application
programs to be interoperable on a single receiver unit by sharing the fixed resources of the
receiver, and it provides a set of interfaces that the T-DMB middleware and the ASIC specific
software use.

4 T-DMB common API overview
4.1 T-DMB receiver overview
A T-DMB receiver provides the device functionality specified in the T-DMB receivers (see
IEC 62516-1:2009 and IEC 62516-2:2011). Figure 1 shows the block diagram of a typical T-
DMB receiver. For the T-DMB receiver depicted in Figure 1, only those blocks that conform to
the scope of this standard are shown.
Figure 1 also shows the T-DMB common API with respect to the T-DMB receiver block
diagram.

4.2 T-DMB receiver ASIC block
The T-DMB receiver ASIC block represents the semiconductor hardware that provides the
functionality of demodulating a T-DMB signal and retrieving data carried by the T-DMB
physical layer. This block provides functionality like RF front-end, ADC, timing and frequency
estimation, channel estimation, viterbi decoding, etc. In short this block provides the complete
physical layer implementation of ETSI EN 300 401 v1.3.3. Depending upon the
implementation, this block can also provide outer decoding functionality (e.g. R-S decoding
and/or convolutional de-interleaving).
4.3 Host processor block
4.3.1 General
The host processor block represents the T-DMB functionality provided by the host processor
based device. In other words, this represents the host processor hardware and
in a T-DMB
the software implementation residing in the host processor. The host processor block retrieves
and processes the T-DMB information obtained from the T-DMB receiver ASIC block. The T-
DMB information retrieved consists of multiplex configuration information received on fast

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST EN 62516-3:2013
62516-3 © IEC:2013 – 7 –
information channel (FIC), content received on the main service channel. This block
communicates with the T-DMB receiver ASIC block to retrieve the information received from
the T-DMB signal. The host processor block consists of the following functional sub-blocks.
4.3.2 T-DMB driver (hardware abstraction layer) sub-block
The T-DMB Driver or hardware abstraction layer (HAL) Block represents the driver level
software in the main processor that directly interfaces with the T-DMB receiver ASIC block.
The T-DMB driver sub-block provides controller functions (e.g. turning on or turning off the T-
DMB receiver ASIC block) and data exchange functions (e.g. retrieving the data from the T-
DMB receiver ASIC block or conveying the characteristics of a sub-channel to be received) for
a given T-DMB receiver ASIC hardware. The T-DMB Driver software is specific to the type of
hardware interface mechanism that exists between the Host Processor Block and the T-DMB
Receiver ASIC block.
For example, the T-DMB driver software will be different depending upon whether the
hardware interface between the main processor and the T-DMB receiver ASIC block is
interrupt driven, implemented with memory mapped address/registers or packet based
transaction interface like SDIO. Some examples of tasks performed by T-DMB driver sub-
block are:
• hardware interactions such as initialization, sleep or wakeup triggers;
• data exchange with hardware such as emptying hardware buffers into main memory or
providing ISR implementation.
The T-DMB driver software functions are tightly coupled with the T-DMB receiver ASIC
hardware and are considered time sensitive in nature. Therefore the T-DMB driver software is
typically given a higher priority with respect to other sub-blocks shown. For example, the T-
DMB driver performs the tasks of retrieving the data received by the T-DMB receiver ASIC
block or instructing the T-DMB receiver ASIC block to tune to a frequency as requested by the
application layer.
4.3.3 T-DMB ASIC specific software sub-block
T-DMB ASIC specific software sub-block provides the MAC layer functionality not covered by
the T-DMB driver sub-block. Depending upon the division of MAC layer functionality across
different sub-blocks, it may provide complete or partial MAC layer functionality. At the least,
the T-DMB ASIC specific software sub-block is expected to provide high level MAC layer
functionality that is not practical to be delegated to T-DMB driver sub-block. It interfaces with
the T-DMB receiver middleware sub-block using the T-DMB common APIs.
4.3.4 T-DMB common APIs sub-block
The T-DMB common APIs sub-block defines the interfaces that allow the T-DMB ASIC
specific software sub-block to communicate with the T-DMB receiver middleware. Any T-DMB
receiver middleware that adheres to the interfaces defined by the T-DMB common APIs will
work with any T-DMB ASIC specific software sub-block that adheres to these interfaces as
well. More details on this interface are provided in the rest of this standard.
4.3.5 T-DMB receiver middleware sub-block
The T-DMB receiver middleware sub-block communicates with the T-DMB ASIC specific
software sub-block using the T-DMB common APIs. The T-DMB receiver middleware
implements the control and stream layer and provides the interface with application layer
protocols. It triggers the T-DMB ASIC specific software to receive the specified contents as
requested by the application layer. It acts on the notifications or content provided by the T-
DMB ASIC specific software. It delivers any content received from the T-DMB ASIC specific
software to the application layer protocols.

SIST EN 62516-3:2013
– 8 – 62516-3 © IEC:2013
4.4 Hardware interface block
The hardware interface block represents the hardware interface mechanism that exists
between the host processor block and the T-DMB receiver ASIC block. This interface provides
the communication and data exchange functionality. The T-DMB driver sub-block uses this
block to exchange commands and data with the T-DMB receiver ASIC block. The hardware
interface block can be any desired interface, such as proprietary bus interface or a standard
based interface (e.g. SDIO).
5 API description
5.1 T-DMB common APIs
This clause provides a detailed description of each T-DMB common API. The API function
prototype details are provided along with defined types needed by the T-DMB common APIs.
Commands are executed by sending requests, confirmations and notifications. Figure 2 shows
three different command patterns. These are used in the T-DMB common APIs.
If commands are interleaved which means two commands running at the same time, an
arbitrary sequence of message types is possible.

5.2.3 Tuning
Figure 4 shows the tuning. The T-DMB receiver is tuned by calling tuneReq. The receiver
tunes to the requested frequency and responds afterwards with tuneCnf confirmation. The
confirmation contains information about the reception quality.

IEC  565/13
Figure 4 – Tuning
void tuneReq(int tuneFrequency,int transmissionMode)
The tuneReq request initiates the Tune command. The Tune command sets directly a
specified T-DMB frequency. A T-DMB receiver shall be tuned to a T-DMB frequency and
synchronized in order to get access to T-DMB services. A tuned T-DMB receiver tries
automatically to synchronize on a T-DMB ensemble. The Tune command is used to select a

---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------

SIST EN 62516-3:2013
62516-3 © IEC:2013 – 11 –
specified T-DMB frequency. Depending on the specification for the transmissionMode it is
tested if a T-DMB ensemble can be detected. If the connected T-DMB receiver supports
automatic detection the default setting for transmissionMode can be used. Otherwise it has to
be specified which transmission modes should be tested. The result of the command is
delivered by the tuneCnf confirmation. All currently existing selections of audio and data
services or selections of data objects are automatically stopped before tuning is performed by
the T-DMB receiver.
Parameters
• tuneFrequency – This parameter specifies the frequency the T-DMB receiver will be tuned
to in hertz.
• transmissionModes –
This parameter specifies the transmission modes a T-DMB receiver tests for T-DMB
ensembles. The default value is T-DMBConstants.transmissionModeAutomatic which
means that the receiver is automatically detecting the transmission mode. The parameter
is a flag field supporting the following flags which can be specified together:
– T-DMBConstants.transmissionModeAutomatic: The transmission mode is automatically
detected. All other flags are ignored in this case.
