Transmitting apparatus, receiving apparatus, and data processing method
A transmitting apparatus, a receiving apparatus, and a data processing method that enable efficient transmission of periodically transmitting information. The transmitting apparatus arranges, in a physical layer frame including a preamble and a data portion, periodically transmitting transmission information in an area that is extractable temporally before other information arranged in the data portion, and transmits the physical layer frame as a digital broadcast signal. The apparatuses and method are applicable to, for example, digital broadcasting using an IP transmission method.
1. A transmitting apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to arrange, in a physical layer frame including a preamble and a data portion, transmission information immediately after the preamble and at a head of the data portion as an area that is extractable temporally before other information arranged in the data portion; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the physical layer frame as a digital broadcast signal,
wherein the transmission information includes pieces of information among at least two of
time information for synchronizing a transmitting side and a receiving side,
header compression information for compressing header information of a packet, and
channel selection information for selecting a service, and
the pieces of information are ordered in the data portion as follows,
the time information, then the header compression information, and then the channel selection information.
2. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in the physical layer frame,
the data portion includes one or a plurality of PLPs (Physical Layer Pipes), and
the transmission information corresponding to each PLP is arranged at a head of each PLP.
3. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the transmission information is arranged in a payload of an IP (Internet Protocol) packet including a UDP (User Datagram Protocol) packet.
4. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the transmission information is arranged in a payload of a first transmission packet for transmitting an IP packet including a UDP packet, an extension header of the first transmission packet, or an extension header of a second transmission packet for transmitting the first transmission packet.
5. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the physical layer frame further includes a bootstrap, and
the transmission information is arranged in the bootstrap.
6. A data processing method for a transmitter, the data processing method comprising:
by the transmitter,
arranging, in a physical layer frame including a preamble and a data portion, transmission information immediately after the preamble and at a head of the data portion as an area that is extractable temporally before other information arranged in the data portion; and
transmitting the physical layer frame as a digital broadcast signal,
wherein the transmission information includes pieces of information among at least two of
time information for synchronizing a transmitting side and a receiving side,
header compression information for compressing header information of a packet, and
channel selection information for selecting a service, and
the pieces of information are ordered in the data portion as follows,
the time information, then the header compression information, and then the channel selection information.
7. A receiving apparatus comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a physical layer frame transmitted as a digital broadcast signal and including a preamble and a data portion; and
a processor configured to perform a process corresponding to transmission information arranged immediately after the preamble and at a head of the data portion as an area that is extractable temporally before other information arranged in the data portion in the physical layer frame,
wherein the transmission information includes pieces of information among at least two of
time information for synchronizing a transmitting side and a receiving side,
header compression information for compressing header information of a packet, and
channel selection information for selecting a service, and
the pieces of information are ordered in the data portion as follows,
the time information, then the header compression information, and then the channel selection information.
8. The receiving apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein, in the physical layer frame,
the data portion includes one or a plurality of PLPs, and
the transmission information corresponding to each PLP is arranged at a head of each PLP.
9. The receiving apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the transmission information is arranged in a payload of an IP packet including a UDP packet.
10. The receiving apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the transmission information is arranged in a payload of a first transmission packet for transmitting an IP packet including a UDP packet, an extension header of the first transmission packet, or an extension header of a second transmission packet for transmitting the first transmission packet.
11. The receiving apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the physical layer frame further includes a bootstrap, and
the transmission information is arranged in the bootstrap.
12. A data processing method for a receiver, the data processing method comprising:
by the receiver,
receiving a physical layer frame transmitted as a digital broadcast signal and including a preamble and a data portion; and
performing a process corresponding to transmission information arranged immediately after the preamble and at a head of the data portion as an area that is extractable temporally before other information arranged in the data portion in the physical layer frame,
wherein the transmission information includes pieces of information among at least two of
time information for synchronizing a transmitting side and a receiving side,
header compression information for compressing header information of a packet, and
channel selection information for selecting a service, and
the pieces of information are ordered in the data portion as follows,
the time information, then the header compression information, and then the channel selection information.
