APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING A BROADCASTING SERVICE IN A DIGITAL MULTIMEDIA BROADCASTING SYSTEM

摘要

ABSTRACT An apparatus and method for receiving a broadcasting service in a digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) system. In a method for changing a broadcasting service in a terminal for receiving DMB services, it is determined if a reserved decoding resource element is present while data of a first broadcasting service is decoded and output. If the reserved decoding resource element is present, it is determined if an operation for decoding a pilot channel will be stopped. If the operation for decoding the pilot channel is stopped, data of a second broadcasting service is received and decoded using the reserved decoding resource element and a decoding resource element for decoding the pilot channel. When a user makes a change to the second broadcasting service, the data of the first and second broadcasting services is simultaneously output.
