Claim 10:
11. A reception apparatus, comprising:
demodulation circuitry configured to demodulate packets constituting a stream carried by a Physical Layer Pipe (PLP) that is included in a broadcast signal; and
processing circuitry configured to process the packets demodulated by the demodulation circuitry to obtain identification information identifying the PLP, wherein
the demodulation circuitry and the processing circuitry are connected with each other via a single interface or interfaces fewer than a number of PLPs included in the broadcast signal,
the packets each have a header and a payload, and
the header of each of the packets carries, in predetermined bits of the header of the respective packet, identification information identifying the PLP,
wherein (1) the stream is an Internet Protocol (IP) stream and the predetermined bits are included in an area stipulated by Robust Header Compression (RoHC) or (2) the stream is a transport stream (TS) and the predetermined bits are included in an area stipulated by MPEG2-TS.
