The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) finalized its next-generation digital terrestrial broadcast standard in 2016, known as ATSC 3.0. In order to enhance spectral efficiency, the standard employs two-dimensional non-uniform constellations (2D-NUCs) for signal mapping. As a result, a 2D demapper, with computational complexity much higher than one-dimensional (1D) demappers, has to be designed for the receiver. In this paper, a suboptimal low-complexity 2D-demapping method is proposed for ATSC 3.0. The proposed method takes advantage of the 2D-NUC's feature that constellation points with same most significant bits tend to locate in the same subregion. Simulation results show that compared with the conventional Max-Log-MAP 2D demapping, the proposed method achieves at least 74% complexity reduction with negligible performance loss. Moreover, compared with another 2D demapper specially designed for ATSC 3.0, the proposed method dispenses with high-complexity exponential and logarithmic operations at a small performance cost of at most 0.14 dB.
