Patent ID: 10250426

Abstract:
A method for transmitting broadcast signals, the method includes encoding service data based on a code rate; mapping the encoded service data into constellations based on a modulation order; MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) processing a pair of symbols of the mapped service data using MIMO precoding, wherein the MIMO precoding is based on at least one of phase-hopping matrix with a phase rotation angle and a rotation matrix with a rotation angle, wherein a value of the rotation angle depends on the modulation order and the code rate, and wherein when the modulation order is NUC 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) and the code rate is one of 2/15, 3/15, 4/15, 5/15, the value of the rotation angle is zero (0) degrees; time-interleaving the MIMO processed service data; building signal frames including the time-interleaved service data; modulating data in the signal frames by an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) scheme.
