Abstract

A data processing method is provided in which a transmission frame is received from a transmitting device. The transmission frame is based on a split stream for one of a plurality of channels and channel bonding signaling information. Further, the received transmission frame is processed. The channel bonding signaling information includes signature information that uniquely identifies the input stream, and the signature information is contained in a header of the transmission frame.

Claims (62)

1. A data processing device comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

split an input stream into a split stream for each of a plurality of channels; and

generate a transmission frame based on the split stream of one of the plurality of channels and channel bonding signaling information for the one of the plurality of channels, wherein

the channel bonding signaling information includes signature information that uniquely identifies the input stream, and

the signature information is contained in a header of the transmission frame.

2. The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to generate a separate channel stream of transmission frames for each split stream of the plurality of channels based on the split stream for the respective channel and channel bonding signaling information for the respective channel.

3. The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to generate the transmission frame based on the split stream of the one of the plurality of channels, the signature information, and channel information of another split stream of the plurality of channels that is different from the split stream of the one of the plurality of channels.

4. The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the transmission frame is a PL (Physical Layer) frame of DVB-S2, and

the header is an extension PL header of the PL frame.

5. The data processing device according to claim 3 , wherein

the transmission frame is a PL (Physical Layer) frame of DVB-S2, and

the header is an extension PL header of the PL frame that contains the signature information and the channel information.

6. A data processing method comprising:

splitting, via processing circuitry, an input stream into a split stream for each of a plurality of channels;

generating a transmission frame based on the split stream of one of the plurality of channels and channel bonding signaling information, wherein

the channel bonding signaling information includes signature information that uniquely identifies the input stream, and

the signature information is contained in a header of the transmission frame.

7. The data processing method according to claim 6 , wherein the generating comprises:

generating a separate channel stream of transmission frames for each split stream of the plurality of channels based on the split stream for the respective channel and channel bonding signaling information for the respective channel.

8. The data processing method according to claim 6 , wherein the generating comprises:

generating the transmission frame based on the split stream of the one of the plurality of channels, the signature information, and channel information of another split stream of the plurality of channels that is different from the split stream of the one of the plurality of channels.

9. The data processing method according to claim 6 , wherein

the transmission frame is a PL (Physical Layer) frame of DVB-S2, and

the header is an extension PL header of the PL frame.

10. The data processing method according to claim 8 , wherein

the transmission frame is a PL (Physical Layer) frame of DVB-S2, and

the header is an extension PL header of the PL frame that contains the signature information and the channel information.

11. A data processing device comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

receive a transmission frame from a transmitting device, the transmission frame being based on a split stream for one of a plurality of channels and channel bonding signaling information; and

process the received transmission frame, wherein

the channel bonding signaling information includes signature information that uniquely identifies an input stream, and

the signature information is contained in a header of the transmission frame.

12. The data processing device according to claim 11 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to receive a channel stream of transmission frames for each split stream of the plurality of channels that is generated based on the split stream of the respective channel and channel bonding signaling information for the respective channel.

13. The data processing device according to claim 11 , wherein

the transmission frame is based on the split stream for the one of the plurality of channels, the signature information, and channel information of another split stream of the plurality of channels that is different from the split stream of the one of the plurality of channels.

14. The data processing device according to claim 11 , wherein

the transmission frame is a PL (Physical Layer) frame of DVB-S2, and

the header is an extension PL header of the PL frame.

15. The data processing device according to claim 13 , wherein

the transmission frame is a PL (Physical Layer) frame of DVB-S2, and

the header is an extension PL header of the PL frame that contains the signature information and the channel information.

16. A data processing method comprising:

receiving a transmission frame from a transmitting device, the transmission frame being based on a split stream for one of a plurality of channels and channel bonding signaling information; and

processing, via processing circuitry, the received transmission frame, wherein

the channel bonding signaling information includes signature information that uniquely identifies an input stream, and

the signature information is contained in a header of the transmission frame.

17. The data processing method according to claim 16 , wherein the receiving comprises:

receiving a channel stream of transmission frames for each split stream of the plurality of channels that is generated based on the split stream of the respective channel and channel bonding signaling information for the respective channel.

18. The data processing method according to claim 16 , wherein

the transmission frame is based on the split stream for the one of the plurality of channels, the signature information, and channel information of another split stream of the plurality of channels that is different from the split stream of the one of the plurality of channels.

19. The data processing method according to claim 16 , wherein

the transmission frame is a PL (Physical Layer) frame of DVB-S2, and

the header is an extension PL header of the PL frame.

20. The data processing method according to claim 18 , wherein

the transmission frame is a PL (Physical Layer) frame of DVB-S2, and

the header is an extension PL header of the PL frame that contains the signature information and the channel information.
