Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To receive broadcast waves under an optimum state at all times. SOLUTION: A demodulating processing section 41 demodulates a broadcasting signal amplified by an amplifying section 21 and variable amplifying sections 23 and 25. A bit-error correcting section 43, a block-error correcting section 46 or a frame-error correcting section 49 corrects errors generated in the case of a demodulation. A bit-error rate computing section 61, a frame-error rate computing section 62 or a block-error rate computing section 63 computes an error-corrected error rate. An operation changeover section 65c changes over the operations of a bypass switch 22 and the variable amplifying sections 23 and 25 into a plurality of operating modes. An error-rate comparison section 65b compares the error rates at a plurality of every changed-over operating mode. An adjusting section 65 adjusts the operations to the operating mode having the lowest error rate on the basis of the result of a comparison. This invention can be applied at a portable communication terminal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digital multimedia broadcast receiver. SOLUTION: A plurality of digital broadcasting channels are automatically switched continuously at predetermined time interval, and broadcasting of a relevant channel is outputted to a user. If there is a key input from the user during the output of said broadcasting, automatic channel switching is stopped, and broadcasting under outputting at present is continuously outputted. Thus, the user is capable of conveniently selecting a program desired to view or listen to in a process of inquiring programs of a plurality of channels under broadcasting at present at predetermined time intervals.

Abstract:
The present technology relates to a reception apparatus, a reception method, a transmission apparatus, and a transmission method, by which an increase in data size of signaling information transmitted by broadcasting can be suppressed. Provided is a reception apparatus including: a reception unit that receives a broadcast wave of digital broadcasting using an IP (Internet Protocol) transmission system; and a control unit that controls, on the basis of information for managing only a broadcast component transmitted by a broadcast wave of the digital broadcasting, which is first signaling information transmitted by a broadcast wave of the digital broadcasting, or information for managing at least one component of the broadcast component and a communication component transmitted by communication, which is second signaling information transmitted by communication, operations of respective units for acquiring the at least one component of the broadcast component and the communication component. The present technology is applicable to a television receiver, for example.

Abstract:
A hybrid satellite/terrestrial wireless network having a plurality of terrestrial cells and satellite coverage areas is disclosed. A multiplex transmitted in a terrestrial cell may include signaling information for neighboring terrestrial cells and neighboring satellite coverage areas. The signaling information may include indicators identifying different profiles for the hybrid satellite/terrestrial network, and include other information enabling handover from the terrestrial cell multiplex to one of the neighboring terrestrial or satellite multiplexes.
Abstract:
Apparatuses may perform and methods may include: receiving a digital broadcast signal that includes an Electronic Service Guide (ESG); extracting and assembling the ESG; extracting from the ESG signaling information which links one or more services in an upper level layer (ULI) of a broadcast protocol to a physical layer (L1) of the broadcast protocol. Based on the signaling information, one or more services from a broadcast system may be accessed.
