Patent CA-2525950-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PUPUTTI MATTI
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-05-26
Abstract: A terrestrial digital video broadcasting (DVB-T) network is used to transmit IP datagrams to receiving devices using multiprotocol encapsulation (MPE). MPE  datagram section and, if forward error correction (FEC) is used, MPE-FEC  datagram sections may include time-slicing parameters, such as a ~delta-t~  parameter for specifying a time until the next burst is transmitted and a flag for indicating the end of a burst. Thus, MPE and MPE-FEC datagram sections can be transmitted in bursts. Other types of sections, however, do not include such time-slicing parameters and thus cannot usually be transmitted in bursts.  Nevertheless, by assembling a burst including at least one MPE or MPE-FEC  datagram section which specifies delta-t and MPE or MPE-FEC datagram section at the end of a burst which indicates its position, other types of sections can benefit from being transmitted in bursts.
