Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

hierarchical MIMO modulation
Abstract (eng): It is possible to use hierarchical modulation in broadcast systems so that there are two different levels of service with different coverage patterns.
There is a basic reception quality, which should be available to almost all users in the system, and there is a higher reception quality which should be available for most users in the system.
The higher quality is realized by combining the basic signal with an incremental signal.
For this, the basic part of the signal should be more robustly encoded than the incremental part.
The fundamental tradeoff in hierarchical modulation is between the coverage of the basic signal and the coverage of the incremental signal.
Independently of the method used to multiplex the basic and incremental signals, the presence of the incremental signal takes resources from the basic signal or causes interference.
Thus the larger the coverage of the incremental signal is, the smaller the coverage of the basic signal becomes.
Most digital broadcast standards (DVB-T, DVB-H, LTE MBMS) are based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and single-frequency network (SFN) operation.

In this thesis, hierarchical modulation for single-antenna transmission is studied from technical point of view, based on a SFN environment, where time division multiplexing (TDM), superposition, hierarchical quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and hierarchical multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) scheme are illustrated.
The alternatives for hierarchical multi-antenna modulation are investigated.
The fundamental tradeoff of different hierarchical broadcasting methods are evaluated in MATLAB.

This thesis mainly focuses on the progress of hierarchical broadcasting methods and possible improvements that could be made.
The aim of this thesis is to improve current digital broadcasting methods by introducing multiple antennas to both transmitter and receiver.
