TRANSMISSION DEVICE, TRANSMISSION METHOD OF SAME, AND RECEPTION DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a transmission device, a transmission method of the same, and a reception device, wherein transmission/reception can be performed by concatenating transmission channels of a 13-segment form. A transmission device is capable of performing hierarchical transmission of three or more layers by at least one of a plurality of transmission channels, and transmits connected transmission information which comprises a field for specifying a type of modulation system regarding each layer of the three or more layers and which indicates that the plurality of transmission channels are subjected to connected transmission. A reception device receives the connected transmission information transmitted from the transmission device. The present invention can be applied to, for example, a transmission device which transmits signals of digital terrestrial broadcasting.
