Abstract
An information receiving apparatus that includes a receiver that receives an alert signal including a predetermined number of bits, and a controller that detects that the alert signal includes alert information by processing a subset of the predetermined number of bits of the alert signal, and outputs an indication corresponding to the detection.
Claims12
An information receiving apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- receive an alert signal comprising a predetermined number of bits;
- detect that the alert signal includes alert information by processing a 3 bit structure identification field of the alert signal, a 13 synchronization field of the alert signal, a 2 bit start/ending flag field of the alert signal, a 2 bit update flag field of the alert signal, and a 3 bit signal identification field of the alert signal;
- and
- output an indication corresponding to the detection.
A method of processing an alert signal by a receiving apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a receiver of the receiving apparatus, the alert signal comprising a predetermined number of bits;
- detecting, by a circuitry of the receiving apparatus, that the alert signal includes alert information by processing a 3 bit structure identification field of the alert signal, a 13 bit synchronization field of the alert signal, a 2 bit start/ending flag field of the alert signal, a 2 bit update flag field of the alert signal, and a 3 signal identification field of the alert signal;
- and
- outputting, by the circuitry, an indication corresponding to the detection.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a computer program, which when executed by a receiving apparatus, causes the receiving apparatus to:
- receiving an alert signal comprising a predetermined number of bits;
- detecting that the alert signal includes alert information by processing a 3 bit structure identification field of the alert signal, a 13 bit synchronization field of the alert signal, a 2 bit start/ending flag field of the alert signal, a 2 bit update flag field of the alert signal, and a 3 bit signal identification field of the alert signal;
- and
- outputting an indication corresponding to the detection.
