 For broadcasting purpose we use the these frequency networks:

1. Single frequency networks
2. Multi frequency networks
Single frequency networks is a frequency network where the
several transmitters transmits the same signal over the same
frequency channel.
Multi frequency networks is a frequency network where each
transmitter transmits a signal with different frequencies.
We use the SFN for Global Services and MFN for Local
Services.
Global Services is used for the services of users for the whole
network.
Local Services is used for the services of users as a sub regions
in the Global Services.

Besides the optimal frequency reuse, it is usually expected that the

more homogeneous distribution of received signal strength
reception in an SFN will improve the quality of service.
Nevertheless, it should be noted that not all the locations within
the service area will benefit from the SFN configuration.
Some areas will show a degraded quality caused by the SFN
echoes.
The SFN gain is defined as a parameter describing potential gain
or interference.
An unambiguous methodology to obtain the actual SFN gain is
presented and the variation of the gain is investigated for a DVBH network as a function of the signal strength difference received
from different transmitters.

In the existing method we find few problems like delay, loss of

packets/data, echoes etc. when the number of users were
increased
Two main issues occur in this network are as follows
1. Overlapping
2. Overloading
Thus we introduce two techniques to resolve this problem.
They are:
1. Hierarchical Modulation technique(H-LSI)
2. Orthogonal Local Service Insertion technique(O-LSI)

Here in this project we implement the following techniques and

network topologies for local service areas(LSAs) are:
1. Hierarchical modulation
2. Orthogonal local service insertion technique.

H-LSI uses hierarchical modulation to transmit local services on top

of the global services in areas close to the transmitters, by
transmitting the local services in the low priority stream and the
global services in the high priority stream.

Type 1 and Type 2 are to comprise each transmission frame. Type 3 and Ty
are used for H-LSI and O-LSI respectively.

In addition to the description of both H-LSI and O-LSI schemes,

the applicability of these approaches in terms of network
topologies, implementation issues, and performance evaluation
are analysed.

In extending this project SFN networks provide augmented

spectrum efficiency as well as a quality of service improvement
due to a more homogeneous distribution of the received signal
strength over the coverage area.
Nevertheless, some areas will also show degradation in practice.
In order to improve the performance of the SFN operation, DVBNGH standard incorporates multiple input single output (MISO)
antenna diversity mechanisms.
