Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by Joint Technical Committee (JTC) Broadcast of the European
Broadcasting Union (EBU), Comité Européen de Normalisation ELECtrotechnique (CENELEC) and the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
NOTE: The EBU/ETSI JTC Broadcast was established in 1990 to co-ordinate the drafting of standards in the
specific field of broadcasting and related fields. Since 1995 the JTC Broadcast became a tripartite body
by including in the Memorandum of Understanding also CENELEC, which is responsible for the
standardization of radio and television receivers. The EBU is a professional association of broadcasting
organizations whose work includes the co-ordination of its members' activities in the technical, legal,
programme-making and programme-exchange domains. The EBU has active members in about
60 countries in the European broadcasting area; its headquarters is in Geneva.

The Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB) is an industry-led consortium of broadcasters, manufacturers, network
operators, software developers, regulatory bodies, content owners and others committed to designing global standards
for the delivery of digital television and data services. DVB fosters market driven solutions that meet the needs and
economic circumstances of broadcast industry stakeholders and consumers. DVB standards cover all aspects of digital
television from transmission through interfacing, conditional access and interactivity for digital video, audio and data.
The consortium came together in 1993 to provide global standardisation, interoperability and future proof
specifications.
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering the DVB Interactive Satellite System specification,
as identified below:

Introduction
EN 301 790 [1] defines the first generation of DVB-RCS which is a system providing an interaction channel for satellite
distribution systems. Together with its guidelines (TR 101 790 [i.1]) the present document describes how such system
can be built on the physical and MAC layers to provide an efficient way of turning a satellite broadcast TV into a full
VSAT solution capable of transporting IP traffic in a satellite-only system.
Since the original definition of DVB-RCS systems, several versions of the standard were issued, describing the
requirements for the implementation of a system providing an interaction channel for satellite distribution systems.
The sum of these specifications allowed to adapt the DVB-RCS systems to different market segments from small to
large networks and from fixed to mobile terminals but it appears that the evolutions of the physical layer techniques and
the stabilisation of IP standards now deserves deeper changes which can only be implemented in a consistent way via
the definition of a second generation system.
The requirements in the present document have been introduced in order to provide the best possible interoperability
between terminals and hubs, thus defining not only the lower layers of the system (up to layer 2) but also network
functions as well as management and control capabilities.
As these requirements combined together may end up in a very complex terminal design, the present document also
describes subsets of capabilities known as profiles that can be used together to address a given market segment.

Scope
1
The present document establishes the system specifications for the 2nd Generation Interactive DVB Satellite System
(DVB-RCS2) and represents the first part of the multi-part specification of that system. It also gives links to the
adequate sections into the detailed specification documents and explains how the features should be combined together
to make a terminal compliant with different subsets of specifications mentioned here as profiles.
General terms and definitions are given in the present document which can be found also in the other parts of the
DVB-RCS2 multi-part specification.

Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1
Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
control plane: communications that carry mainly signalling information
Layer 1 Mesh Overlay System: satellite interactive network that supplements the unidirectional satellite link from a
TDM feeder to RCSTs and the unidirectional satellite link from RCSTs to an MF-TDMA gateway with two-way
satellite links between the RCSTs
NOTE:
In such systems, the NCC is connected to the RCST via the feeder and gateway.
Layer 1 Regenerative and Re-multiplexing System: satellite interactive network that relies on an on-board
regenerative processor to demodulate upcoming MF-TDMA data from terminals and generate a TDM downlink signal
with this data
NOTE: Such system looks like an RCS second generation system from the layer 1 RCSTs perspective.
management plane: communications that carry information to maintain the network and to perform operational
functions
user plane: communications that carry user information
