Communication system, signal receiving device, signal transmitting device, and communication method
View Patent ↗A communication system is disclosed that is capable of reducing data delay in transmitted hierarchized data and selecting predetermined data from the transmitted hierarchized data for communication according to conditions of the receiving end. The communication system includes a signal transmitting device that hierarchizes data to be transmitted and transmits the hierarchized data, and a signal receiving device that receives the data from the transmitting device. The signal transmitting device includes a hierarchized data transmitting unit that hierarchizes the data to be transmitted into a number of layers and transmits the data layers. The signal receiving device includes a layer identifying unit that identifies the data layers transmitted from the signal transmitting device, and a hierarchized data receiving unit that selects the identified data layers according to at least one of receiving capability and a propagating environment of the signal receiving device, and receives the selected data layers.
1. A signal receiving device for receiving data hierarchized by a signal transmitting device, the signal receiving device comprising:
a layer identifying unit configured to identify data layers transmitted from the signal transmitting device; and
a hierarchized data receiving unit configured to select the identified data layers according to one or more of a receiving buffer size of the signal receiving device, calculating capability of the signal receiving device, and a propagating environment characteristic of the signal receiving device, and to receive the selected data layers, wherein
the hierarchized data receiving unit comprises a selection unit configured to select one or more of the receiving buffer size of the signal receiving device, the calculating capability of the signal receiving device, and the propagating environment of the signal receiving device for selecting the identified data layers.
2. A signal transmitting device for hierarchizing data to be transmitted and transmitting the hierarchized data, the signal transmitting device comprising:
a hierarchized data transmitting unit configured to divide the data to be transmitted into a plurality of layers according to at least one of multiplexed codes in Code Division Multiple Access, a coding unit of error correction codes, and an information block number, and to transmit the hierarchized data; and
a selection unit configured to select at least one of the number of multiplexed codes, the coding unit of error correction codes, and the information block number for dividing the data to be transmitted into a plurality of layers.
