Abstract: The present technology relates to a reception apparatus and a data processing method that permit efficient processing of time information.The reception apparatus receives a digital broadcasting signal based on an IP transport scheme, acquires time information from a physical layer frame transported in a physical layer of a protocol stack for the IP transport scheme, converts the acquired time information into the same data format as data provided in a payload of the physical layer frame, and outputs the converted time information to a processing section that performs a given process relating to an upper layer that is a layer higher than the physical layer. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a television receiver that supports an IP transport scheme.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a transmission apparatus, a transmission method, a reception apparatus, and a reception method that efficiently broadcast IP packets to ensure a quick process. A transmission packet including the IP packet is transmitted and received. A header in the transmission packet is constituted of type information and length information. The type information expresses whether an IP header and a UDP header are compressed. The length information expresses a length of the transmission packet to transmit the IP packet including a UDP packet. A payload in the transmission packet is constituted of a destination IP address and a destination port number or a destination index made correspond to the destination IP address and the destination port number and a payload in the UDP packet. The present technology is, for example, applicable to the broadcast of the IP packets.

Abstract: Provided is a reception device configured to receive a broadcast signal on which emergency alert information is superimposed and send out an alert properly. The reception device is configured to include a tuner that tunes and receives a broadcast signal, a demodulator that demodulates a physical layer level of the broadcast signal, and an alert device that sends out an alert of audio, text display, or the like according to the emergency alert information superimposed on the physical layer of the broadcast signal. Since an activation time is short with a simple configuration, an alert is sent out immediately even from a standby state when the emergency alert information is detected. Also, power consumption is small. Thus, even when all of the reception devices in an area where an emergency alert is sent out are concurrently activated, power to be supplied is not short.
