A method for displaying alert messages within a DAB common-wave network, wherein in the DAB common-wave network global DAB signals are emitted as a DAB ensemble and a transmitter operated in the DAB common-wave network jams the global DAB signals synchronously to the DAB common-wave network with a local DAB signal the configuration of which is derived from the FIC of the global DAB signal, wherein it comprises the steps of (a) distributing the alert message to be displayed among audio encoders (317, 318, 319) each comprising exactly one of the audio standards contained in the global DAB ensemble; (b) compressing the distributed alert message by means of the audio encoders (317, 318, 319) to a data rate being less or equal to the lowest audio data rate present in the global DAB ensemble; (c) reformatting the compressed alert messages of step (b) to each audio data rate present in the global DAB ensemble; (d) selecting one reformatted alert message each from step (c) per audio sub-channel that has the same data rate and the same audio standard as the respective audio sub-channel of the global DAB ensembles; and (e) displaying the alert messages selected in step (d) into the respective audio sub-channels of the local DAB ensemble comprising the individual steps of (i) receiving a global DAB ensemble and demodulating the included FIC; (ii) adjusting the FIG 0/0 included in the FIC of individual step (i) by increasing the field CIF count by a number N, wherein N is selected such that N*24ms is larger as or equal to the total processing time for the FIC; (iii) shortening a reconfiguration signaled in the FIC of individual step (ii) by N CIF frames, wherein N corresponds to the value of individual step (ii); and (iv) displaying the FIC obtained in individual step (iii) into the local DAB ensemble. (a) distributing the alert message to be displayed among audio encoders (317, 318, 319) each comprising exactly one of the audio standards contained in the global DAB ensemble; (b) compressing the distributed alert message by means of the audio encoders (317, 318, 319) to a data rate being less or equal to the lowest audio data rate present in the global DAB ensemble; (c) reformatting the compressed alert messages of step (b) to each audio data rate present in the global DAB ensemble; (d) selecting one reformatted alert message each from step (c) per audio sub-channel that has the same data rate and the same audio standard as the respective audio sub-channel of the global DAB ensembles; and (e) displaying the alert messages selected in step (d) into the respective audio sub-channels of the local DAB ensemble comprising the individual steps of (i) receiving a global DAB ensemble and demodulating the included FIC; (ii) adjusting the FIG 0/0 included in the FIC of individual step (i) by increasing the field CIF count by a number N, wherein N is selected such that N*24ms is larger as or equal to the total processing time for the FIC; (iii) shortening a reconfiguration signaled in the FIC of individual step (ii) by N CIF frames, wherein N corresponds to the value of individual step (ii); and (iv) displaying the FIC obtained in individual step (iii) into the local DAB ensemble.
