Abstract:
A method of processing a non-real time (NRT) service in a broadcast receiver is disclosed where the method includes receiving signaling information including the NRT service information and access information which indicates files of a content item can be accessed by Internet, receiving File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (FLUTE) files through a FLUTE session, wherein File Delivery Table (FDT) instance of the FLUTE session for each file belonging to the content item includes information for content location of the file, the information for content location including an Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and providing the NRT service using the files belonging to the content item, wherein the files are accessed through the Internet using the URL indicated in the information for content location of the file or accessed through a storage in the broadcast receiver.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and computer program products are defined for a hybrid mobile broadcast service. By forming hybrid services from both wide area components and local area components, hybrid services are able to be regionalized so as to meet the needs of the users in given a locale or region. In one example, a wide area video component may be combined with a local area alternate language to provide an alternate language service to a specified geographic region within the mobile broadcast network. In additional aspects, multiple local area infrastructures can be combined to form a regionalized infrastructure for the purpose of delivering the hybrid service across a designated region.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a notification message in a Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) system are provided, in which a terminal detects an Access Point (AP) from an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) bootstrapping session, queries the AP to request a notification message list or all or part of a notification message over a communication channel, and receives the notification message list or all or part of the notification message from the AP.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a DVB-H CBMS system by which a user can continue to view a program being in service even when the transport stream or IP platform changes while the user views the program. In the DVB-H CBMS system, the system transmits service mapping information according to transport streams or IP platforms to the terminal, so that the system can provide a service without interruption to the terminal even when a user of the terminal moves out of a current cell or network into a new cell or network while receiving a service that the user selected.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de multiplexage de flux de données s'appliquant notamment à l'intégration de flux de données en mode rafales à des flux de données multiplexes. L'invention comporte au moins un multiplexeur (3), des entrées (1 ) de flux de données (Fa, Fb) multiplexes (10), des entrées (21 ) de flux de données (Fc, Fd) en mode rafales, au moins un gestionnaire (5) : o élisant une entrée (21 ) pour émettre la prochaine rafale de données; o affectant au niveau de remplissage du tampon virtuel (22) de l'entrée (21 ) élue la somme des niveaux de remplissage des tampons virtuels de données (22); o attribuant au niveau de remplissage des tampons virtuels (22) des autres entrées (21 ) une valeur nulle.
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:
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 of a broadcast protocol to a physical layer of the broadcast protocol. Based on the signaling information, one or more services from a broadcast system may be accessed.
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:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a plurality of data streams in a wireless broadcast system are provided. The method includes mapping the plurality of data streams onto a super-frame that includes a plurality of frames; inserting signalling information in a first signalling information field for assisting in the reception of a first number of said plurality of data streams for a given frame, the first number being less than or equal to a limit applicable to each of the plurality of frames; dependent on a number of data streams for the given frame being greater than the limit, inserting signalling information in a second signalling information field; inserting said first and second signalling information fields in a preamble section of said given frame; and transmitting the plurality of frames.
