Simulation of the DVB-H channel coding and transmission in Matlab

This paper deals with the Matlab implementation of the DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting to Handhelds) channel coding in AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) transmission channel. Developed application structure and its functions are described. Channel encoder and decoder were implemented in Matlab as it is specified in the DVB-H standard. Created application can evaluate and shows two types of BER (Bit Error Ratio) - BER before Viterbi decoding and BER after Viterbi decoding. The OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation was not implemented yet. Finally, obtained results are evaluated and discussed.
