Patent number: 10476711Abstract: The present technology relates to data processing devices and data processing methods that lower costs and enable CB (Channel Bonding). A transmission device divides a BB stream as a stream of BB (Baseband) frames into divisional streams by distributing the BB frames of the BB stream to data slices. The dividing of the BB stream is performed by limiting the data rate ratio between the data rates of the divisional streams. A reception device recomposes the original BB stream from the divisional streams obtained from data transmitted from the transmission device. The present technology can be applied to CB such as PLP (Physical Layer Pipe) bundling.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Naoki Yoshimochi, Satoshi Okada, Makiko Yamamoto
