DVB has introduced T2-Lite, a new profile for its popular DVB-T2 terrestrial standard for lighter applications such as mobile TV.
T2-Lite profile is intended to allow simpler receiver implementations for very low capacity applications such as mobile broadcasting, although it may also be received by conventional stationary receivers.
T2-Lite is based on a limited sub-set of the modes of the T2-base profile, and by avoiding modes which require the most complexity and memory, allows much more efficient receiver designs to be used.
One possible use for T2-Lite enables the simulcast of two different versions of the same service, with different bit-rates and levels of protection, which would allow better reception in fringe areas.
