Abstract
Provided is a method and system for transmitting information. The method includes determining stream length information for at least one data stream to be transmitted and associating the stream length information with a system parameter message. The system parameter message including the associated stream length information is transmitted separately from the data stream. This process facilitates de-multiplexing of individual streams and the processing of stream data even if one or more individual streams are received in error.
Claims21
A method for transmitting information, comprising:
- determining stream length information for at least one data stream to be transmitted;
- associating the stream length information with a system parameter message;
- and
- transmitting the system parameter message including the associated stream length information separately from the data stream.
A method of receiving information, comprising:
- receiving a system parameter message including stream length information for at least one transmitted data stream, wherein the system parameter message is received separately from the transmitted data stream;
- recovering the stream length information from the received system parameter message;
- and
- reading the data stream corresponding to the stream length information.
An apparatus for transmitting information, comprising:
- means for determining stream length information for at least one data stream to be transmitted;
- means for associating the stream length information with a system parameter message;
- and
- means for transmitting the system parameter message including the associated stream length information separately from the data stream.
A computer readable medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions for execution by one or more processors to perform a method for transmitting information, the instructions when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
- determining stream length information for at least one data stream to be transmitted;
- associating the stream length information with a system parameter message;
- and
- transmitting the system parameter message including the associated stream length information separately from the data stream.
A transmission module for transmitting information, comprising:
- a determination portion configured to determine stream length information for at least one data stream to be transmitted;
- an associating portion configured to associate the stream length information with a system parameter message;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the system parameter message including the associated stream length information separately from the data stream.
A system, comprising:
- a processor having first and second logic portions;
- wherein the first logic portion determines stream length information for at least one data stream to be transmitted;
- wherein the second logic portion associates the stream length information with a system parameter message;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the system parameter message including the associated stream length information separately from the data stream.
