DIGITAL TELEVISION NETWORK STRUCTURE AND USER TERMINAL

摘要

This invention discloses a digital TV broadcast system coordinated with a broadband communication network, an information transmission network in which the broadcast system is applied, a digital TV heterogeneous network architecture, and a client terminal used in each of the above network systems. The various broadcast system architectures of the invention adopt the design concept of heterogeneous network which integrates a broadcast network with other networks, for example, a communication network, the Internet and the like, to form a heterogeneous network architecture coordinating various networks. Meanwhile, the usage in bad conditions are taken into account, and a broadcast TV system which enables uplink transmission by using a broadcast link is designed. The terminal of the invention is a terminal applicable in these heterogeneous network architectures, is capable of receiving signals transmitted from various networks, and can enable flexible receiving and access modes with a series of control means. The network system and client terminal of the invention can achieve an optimized allocation of network resources, save spectrum resources, and enable optimized transmission and management of information resources.
