Transmitting apparatus, transmitting method, receiving apparatus, and receiving method

A receiving apparatus, comprising:

• a relation table acquiring unit configured to acquire a relation table in which processing-related information related to setting processing of tuning on a receiving side is registered in association with an index representing a region to be subjected to the setting processing corresponding to the processing-related information and provided as being included in data of an upper layer higher than a physical layer;
• a receiving unit configured to receive transmission data including an index in data of a physical layer, the index being associated with predetermined processing-related information in the relation table;
• an index acquiring unit configured to acquire the index included in the data of the physical layer from the transmission data;
• and
• a processing execution unit configured to execute the setting processing corresponding to the processing-related information associated with the index included in the data of the physical layer in the relation table.

A receiving method, comprising:

• acquiring a relation table in which processing-related information related to setting processing of tuning on a receiving side is registered in association with an index representing a region to be subjected to the setting processing corresponding to the processing-related information and provided as being included in data of an upper layer higher than a physical layer;
• receiving transmission data including an index in data of a physical layer, the index being associated with predetermined processing-related information in the relation table;
• acquiring the index included in the data of the physical layer from the transmission data;
• and
• executing the setting processing corresponding to the processing-related information associated with the index included in the data of the physical layer in the relation table.
