The present invention discloses a multi-carrier digital multimedia broadcast system and the digital information transmission method thereof. After RS encoding and byte interleaving, LDPC encoding, bit interleaving and constellation mapping to an upper layer of data streams in turn, the obtained data symbol is multiplexed with scattered pilots and continual pilots which include the system information to form an OFDM frequency domain symbol and scrambled; an OFDM time domain symbol is generated by IFFT transforming, and after inserted with the frame head to build a time slot, it is connected to form a signal frame of the physical layer; the signal frame of the physical layer is transmitted after being low-pass filtered and orthogonal upconverted. The system and method thereof provide wireless broadcast with high quality such as audio, video and multimedia data and the like for mobile, fixed and portable receivers, and can use the satellite transmission and terrestrial transmission method for transmitting. The method utilizes the LDPC OFDM scheme, and the system applies the microwave and large scale integrated circuit technologies while fulfills the needs for low cast and high performance.

Multi-carrier digital mobile multimedia broadcast system and the digital information transmission method thereof

The present invention provides a method for transmitting/receiving a continuous pilot code in a multi-carrier system. The method for transmitting comprises: performing a time-frequency domain two dimensional encoding on an information bit stream to be transmitted; mapping the encoded bit stream to obtain a continuous pilot carrying encoding information; multiplexing a load, a discrete pilot and the mapped continuous pilot carrying the encoding information based on distribution of the load, the discrete pilot and the continuous pilot on a sub-carrier, to generate a frequency domain signal; and performing a frequency-time domain transforming on the generated frequency domain signal, to obtain a time domain sample. The method for receiving comprises: extracting the continuous pilot from an active carrier of a multi-carrier signal; and performing a time-frequency domain decoding on the extracted continuous pilots to obtain the decision of transmitted information bits. The invention ensures reliable transmission of the information without using additional bandwidth resource by carrying information in the continuous pilots using an encoding scheme.
