Claim 10:
11. A receiver comprising:
an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based receiver for receiving a broadcast transmission signal in a broadcast reception mode, wherein the broadcast transmission signal contains media broadcast subframes, and the media broadcast subframes contain an encoded block of data which is generated by encoding a block of data of a first multiplex of at least one broadcast information signal wherein the OFDM-based receiver contains:
an input for receiving the broadcast transmission signal;
a demultiplexer unit for extracting the encoded block of data of the first multiplex from the broadcast transmission signal, wherein the demultiplexer unit is configured to extract an encoded block of data of a multiplex from a non-integer number of resource blocks of the media broadcast subframe;
a decoding unit for decoding the encoded block of data for obtaining a block of data of the first multiplex of the at least one broadcast information signal, and
an output for outputting at least one broadcast information signal from the first multiplex, wherein the media broadcast subframe contains an encoded block of data of a second multiplex of at least one broadcast information signals, the demultiplexer unit being further configured to extract the encoded block of data of the second multiplex of the broadcast transmission signal, and the decoding unit being further configured to decode the encoded block of data of the second multiplex in a decoded block of data of the second multiplex and wherein the encoded block of data of the first multiplex of at least one broadcast transmission signal and the second multiplex of at least one broadcast information signal are separately accessible and separately derivable.
