Abstract

A newly designed time-division multiplexing (TDM) frame format based on ITU-T J.183 is proposed. High speed transmission for UHDTV (8K) cable broadcasting was achieved by adopting MPEG-2 TS basis channel bonding technology. A 181.2 Mbps signal transmitted by a 64 QAM and four 256 QAM channels was received error-free at our prototype set-top box through cable television operator's existing facilities.
