39 BICM chain Time interleaver Waveform generator BICM chain Time interleaver Waveform generator [Fading Performance] 5G Broadcast doesn’t have a time interleaver function to handle harsh channel fading. ATSC 3.0’s well-designed and optimized time-interleaver provides significant performance benefit over harsh fading environments. ATSC 3.0 PHY is designed to provide uniform performance under harsh mobile fading channels. → Time interleaver is an appropriate solution. LTE PHY (5G Broadcast) is designed to minimize latency for supporting latency requirements of unicast transmission. → Time interleaver is not allowed in LTE PHY layer. Burst errors Decoding failure! Decoding success! Random errors Time interleaver spreads burst errors, caused by harsh fading channel, to random errors so that a receiver can make it decode successfully.
