Abstract:
An apparatus for hierarchical modulation generates a first hierarchical symbol sequence by mapping a first hierarchical bit sequence corresponding to an information bit sequence into a bit position in a first signal constellation according to a first modulation method. Further, the apparatus for hierarchical modulation generates a second hierarchical symbol sequence by mapping a second hierarchical bit sequence corresponding to an additional information bit sequence into a bit position in a second signal constellation according to a second modulation method and then phase-rotating the second hierarchical bit sequence as much as the phase of each first hierarchical symbol. The apparatus for hierarchical modulation generates a hierarchical modulating symbol sequence by adding up symbols in the generated second hierarchical symbol sequence and symbols in the first hierarchical symbol sequence.

Provided is a broadcasting receiving method and device. The method detects the time of a televised broadcasting program, and provides the broadcasting program to the user from the start thereof. More specifically, the method requests transmission of the broadcasting program before a first time through the second network at the first time of the broadcasting program received through the first network, and stores the broadcasting program received through the first network at the first time. The broadcasting program, which was broadcasted before the first time, received through the second network from the first time to the second time is displayed and the stored broadcasting program after the second time is displayed.
