This article introduces a 3D space-time-space block code for future terrestrial digital TV in single frequency networks. The proposed 3D code is based on a double layer structure designed for inter-cell and intra-cell space time coded transmissions. We show that this new structure is particularly efficient for SFN environments regardless of the location of the receiver. It is then suitable for fixed, portable and mobile receptions.
