METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING HIGH BANDWIDTH SIGNALS WITH LOW BANDWIDTH TRANSPONDERS

摘要

A method and apparatus for transmitting a plurality of elementary data streams to a plurality of receivers is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of generating M data streams comprising K multiplexed elementary data streams in a first entity, transmitting the M data streams to a second entity, generating N transmitter streams from the M data streams in the second entity; and transmitting each of the N transmitter streams to the plurality of receivers using an associated one of N broadcast sub-transmitters.
