Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a transmission device that enables transmission and reception of connected transmission channels in a 13-segment format and a transmission method of the transmission device, and to a reception device. The transmission device transmits connected transmission information indicating that connected transmission of a plurality of transmission channels is being performed, the connected transmission information including a field that specifies the modulation method type of each of three or more layers of layered transmission that can be performed on at least one of the transmission channels in the three or more layers. The reception device receives the connected transmission information transmitted by the transmission device. The present invention can be applied to transmission devices that transmit terrestrial digital broadcast signals, for example.
