Method and system for setting channel in DVB-H service

摘要

Provided is a method and system for setting a new channel when a DVB-H terminal sets a channel initially or changes the channel. The method includes a DVB-H server transmitting Program Specific Information (PSI)/Service Information (SI) and burst data of Audio/Video (A/V) streams corresponding to a plurality of service channels, a DVB-H terminal detecting a number of a plurality of elementary streams included in a new channel and Packet Identifiers (PIDs) corresponding to the respective elementary streams from the PSI/Sl, which has been received from the DVB-H server and stored, in response to a setting request of the new channel from a user, and setting the detected PiDs as temporary receive PIDs, and if the DVB-H terminal detects burst data having a PID equal to any of the temporary receive PIDs from among the burst data received from the DVB-H server, the DVB-H terminal sets the PID corresponding to the detected burst data as a final receive PID and received only burst data having the final receive PID.
