Abstract
A receiver node for use in a digital broadcast system, comprising a receiver configured to receive a signal containing a service encoded with an error correcting code for decoding and wherein said receiver is further configured to ignore the signal during an ignore period, the node configured to use said error correcting code and the encoded service received outside the ignore period to reconstruct the part of the service ignored by the receiver.
Claims15
A receiver node for use in a digital broadcast system, comprising a receiver configured to receive a signal containing a service encoded with an error correcting code for decoding and wherein said receiver is further configured to ignore the signal during an ignore period, the node configured to use said error correcting code and the encoded service received outside the ignore period to reconstruct the part of the service ignored by the receiver.
A method of operating a receiver node in a digital broadcast system, wherein the receiver node is configured to receive a signal containing a service encoded with an error correcting code, the method comprising
- receiving the encoded service;
- ignoring part of the signal that contains the encoded service during an ignore period;
- using said error correcting code and the encoded service received outside the ignore period to reconstruct the part of the service ignored by the receiver and, optionally, performing a background scan for other services during the ignore period.
