Cloud Transmission is a new broadcasting system, proposed to be used as the physical layer in the next-generation digital television, especially for the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 system. Its principal benefits are spectral efficiency, robustness against noise, multipath and co-channel interference, besides maintaining compatibility with actual and future systems. Cloud Transmission is based on Layer-Division-Multiplexing (LDM), which provides to the system an increase of its robustness keeping the same data rates. This paper presents a performance analysis of an LDM transmitter/receiver, implemented in Software Defined Radio (SDR), using the same channel coder, interleavers, modulation and OFDM frame structure of Integrated Digital Services Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T).
