Method of notifying reconfiguration of the IP/MAC platform and a DVB system therefor

摘要

Disclosed is a method of notifying reconfiguration of the IP/MAC platform in a Digital Video Broadcasting DVB system. This method requires a Program Map Table (PMT) including a warning data field for representing reconfiguration of the IP/MAC platform and a time data field for representing the time of the reconfiguration. The DVB receiving terminal periodically monitors the PMT to prepare for the reconfiguration of the IP/MAC platform. Thus the DVB receiving terminal provides the DVB services to the user without interruption.
