Abstract
A transmission method includes: generating one or more frames for content transfer, each of the frames containing one or more second transfer units, each of the second transfer units being placed at a head within each of the frames and containing one or more first transfer units, each of the first transfer units containing one or more Internet Protocol (IP) packets, each of the first transfer units positioned at a head within each of the frames containing reference clock information indicating time used for reproduction of the content that uses the IP packets in a reception apparatus; and transmitting the one or more frames by broadcast.
Claims7
A transmission method, comprising:
- generating one or more frames;
- and
- transmitting the one or more frames, wherein
- each of the one or more frames contains one or more first transfer units,
- each of the one or more first transfer units contains one or more second transfer units,
- each of the one or more frames contains, outside an IP packet, first control information including control information regarding the one or more first transfer units,
- each of the one or more frames contains, outside the IP packet, second control information including information indicating whether or not the first control information includes reference clock information, the second control information being different from the first control information, and the second control information being stored outside of the one or more first transfer units,
- the first control information includes the reference clock information in the case where the information indicating whether or not the first control information includes the reference clock information indicates that the first control information includes the reference clock information, and
- the first control information includes information indicating a head position of the one or more second transfer units in each of the one or more first transfer units.
A transmission method, comprising:
- generating one or more frames;
- and
- transmitting the one or more frames, wherein
- each of the one or more frames contains one or more first transfer units,
- each of the one or more first transfer units contains one or more second transfer units,
- each of the one or more frames contains first control information including control information regarding the one or more first transfer units,
- each of the one or more frames contains second control information including information indicating whether or not the first control information includes reference clock information,
- the first control information includes the reference clock information in the case where the information indicating whether or not the first control information includes the reference clock information indicates that the first control information includes the reference clock information, and
- the first control information includes information indicating a head position of the one or more second transfer units in each of the one or more first transfer units,
- wherein the first control information is a slot header, and
- the second control information is a Transmission and Multiplexing Configuration Control (TMCC) signal.
A transmission apparatus, comprising:
- generation circuitry which, in operation, generates one or more frames;
- and
- transmission circuitry which, in operation, transmits the one or more frames, wherein
- each of the one or more frames contains one or more first transfer units,
- each of the one or more first transfer units contains one or more second transfer units,
- each of the one or more frames contains, outside an IP packet, first control information including control information regarding the one or more first transfer units,
- each of the one or more frames contains, outside the IP packet, second control information including information indicating whether or not the first control information includes reference clock information, the second control information being different from the first control information, and the second control information being stored outside of the one or more first transfer units,
- the first control information includes the reference clock information in the case where the information indicating whether or not the first control information includes the reference clock information indicates that the first control information includes the reference clock information, and
- the first control information includes information indicating a head position of the one or more second transfer units in each of the one or more first transfer units.
