Patent number: 10651924Abstract: The invention relates to a system, a receiver and a method for satellite signal transmission, wherein the method includes the steps of grouping the signals into a data stream, splitting the data stream into at least a first and one or more second packets, transmitting the first packet via a first transmission channel (Ch #1), transmitting the one or more second packets via one or more second transmission channels (Ch #2), wherein the one or more second transmission channels (Ch #2) are distinct from the first transmission channel (Ch #1) and from one another.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: RAI RADIOTELEVISIONE ITALIANA S.P.A.Inventors: Vittoria Mignone, Bruno Sacco, Alberto Morello

Patent number: 10237630Abstract: A transmission system, a receiver and a method for satellite signal transmission, wherein the satellite signals includes respective data streams consisting of a sequence of data packets. The method incudes: subdividing the data packets of the data stream, through a splitter, into a first and at least one second data pseudo-streams; modulating the first and at least one second data pseudo-streams through a first and at least one second modulators, respectively; transmitting the modulated data pseudo-streams through respective transmission channels (Ch#1 . . . Ch#N), wherein, in order to generate the data pseudo-streams, the splitter will: select each data packet of the data stream; interrogate the modulators in a sequential manner in order to identify that modulator which, among the modulators, is available to accept the data packet, and send the latter to it; send a null data packet to the remaining modulators.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana S.P.A.Inventors: Alberto Morello, Vittoria Mignone, Bruno Sacco

Patent number: 9246517Abstract: Methods for digital signal processing and transmission/reception systems utilizing the methods based on the use of LDPC codes, for example the LDPC code with a 3/5 code rate, in combination with a QAM modulation, for example the 16 QAM or 64 QAM or 256 QAM modulation. In transmission, a bit permutation (Demux) is carried out prior to the QAM constellation mapping function, and in reception, the bit permutation is carried out after the QAM constellation demapping function.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2014Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: RAI RADIOTELEVISIONE ITALIANA S.P.A.Inventors: Giovanni Vitale, Vittoria Mignone
