Abstract: According to the present invention, when a terrestrial digital broadcasting is carried out by applying an OFDM modulation to transport streams MPEG-2 Systems, the plural transport streams subject to a connected transmission are divided into groups and these transport streams are coordinated. Then, a broadcasting station generates a connected transmission descriptor for coordinating the plural transport streams steams subject to the connected transmission and describes the generated connected transmission descriptor in an NIT to multiplex the transport streams.
