  • Patent number: 11516533
    Abstract: Channel bonding is realized in a receiving apparatus that receives terrestrial digital broadcasting compliant with an ATSC 3.0 standard. A first receiving circuit receives a first frame obtained by encoding first packets within a stream containing the first packets and second packets via a first frequency channel. A second receiving circuit receives a second frame obtained by encoding the second packets via a second frequency channel different from the first frequency channel. A first integrated circuit decodes the first frame and acquires the first packets. The second integrated circuit performs processing for decoding the second frame and acquiring the second packets and processing for bonding the first packets and the second packets together and reconstructing the stream.
