Abstract:
1. A transmission method for transmitting a plurality of streams in a multiplexed format, comprising: generating, using a multiplexer device, a transmission stream through multiplexing of a first stream having data of a first service, a second stream having data of a second service, and a third stream having data related to the first service and data related to the second service; transmitting, using a transmitter, said transmission stream; wherein said transmission stream has such a structure that first bursts for transmitting the first stream and second bursts for transmitting the second stream are located periodically in said transmission stream after a predetermined cyclic period, wherein each of at least one batch, that is shorter than said predetermined cyclic period, occurs once in said predetermined cyclic period and concludes with a pause in transmission, includes one of said first bursts and one of said second bursts, wherein first and second bursts are transmitted without a pause therebetween to present a batch with continuous data alignment, wherein said third stream is carried in said first bursts and also in said second bursts, and wherein said first bursts carry all data of the data related to the first service and the data related to the second service as carried in said third stream, and also said second bursts carry all data of the data related to the first service and the data related to the second service as carried in said third stream.
