METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BROADCASTING AND RECEIVING EVENT DATA

摘要

Broadcast data is transmitted in first time slices. Event data is transmitted in second time slices, wherein a predetermined number n-1 of consecutive second time slices is redundant. Therefore a receiver receiving such a broadcast need only receive one of n slices of event data. Therefore when the receiver is in standby mode, it need only be activated to receive 1 in n of second time slices to receive event data. Therefore the receiver is deactivated for a longer period, thus saving power consumption.
