Abstract

A broadcast receiving apparatus includes: a tuner configured to receive a transmission wave in which identification information is stored in a carrier, the carrier being modulated differently from a data carrier, a frequency band when the transmission wave is transmitted in an air being able to be identified by the identification information; and a controller. The controller is configured to identify a frequency band when the transmission wave is transmitted in the air by using the identification information contained in transmission wave received by the tuner.

Claims (15)

1. A broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:

a tuner/demodulator configured to receive a first transmission wave transmitted in a first polarization direction in an air and a second transmission wave transmitted into a second polarization direction different from the first polarization direction in the air, and generate a stream by executing a demodulating process using the first transmission wave and the second transmission wave; and

a controller,

wherein each of the first transmission wave and the second transmission wave has a predetermined bandwidth divided into a predetermined number of segments, and

wherein the controller is configured to identify, on a basis of identification information contained in the second transmission wave, a group of segments having a same segment number as a segment that belongs to a predetermined layer transmitted by the first transmission wave in the first polarization direction among the segments transmitted by the second transmission wave in the second polarization direction as a layer different from the predetermined layer of the first transmission wave.

2. The broadcast receiving apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the identification information is stored in a carrier that is modulated differently from a data carrier in the second transmission wave received by the tuner/demodulator.

3. A method of processing a transmission wave in a digital broadcasting system, the method comprising:

a transmitting step of transmitting a first transmission wave in a first polarization direction in the digital broadcasting system, and transmitting a second transmission wave in a second polarization direction different from the first polarization direction;

a receiving step of receiving the first transmission wave and the second transmission wave transmitted in the transmitting step;

a layer identifying step of identifying layers included in the first transmission wave and the second transmission wave received in the receiving step,

wherein each of the first transmission wave and the second transmission wave has a predetermined bandwidth divided into a predetermined number of segments, and

wherein identification information is stored in the second transmission wave, and a group of segments having a same segment number as a segment that belongs to a predetermined layer transmitted by the first transmission wave in the first polarization direction among the segments transmitted by the second transmission wave in the second polarization direction in the layer identifying step can be identified as a layer different from the predetermined layer.

4. The method of processing a transmission wave according to claim 3 ,

wherein the identification information is stored in a carrier that is modulated differently from a data carrier in the plurality of different transmission waves.
