Abstract
Methods and apparatus for distributing content in a multi-frequency network. A method includes combining service overheads with a content multiplex to generate service layer multiplexes, determining regions of the multi-frequency network where a service layer multiplex is to be distributed, combining distribution overheads with the service layer multiplex to generate distribution layer multiplexes, and transmitting the distribution layer multiplexes over the regions of the multi-frequency network. An apparatus includes combining logic configured to combine service overheads with a content multiplex to generate service layer multiplexes; determine regions of the multi-frequency network where a service layer multiplex is to be distributed; and combine distribution overheads with the service layer multiplex to generate distribution layer multiplexes. The apparatus also includes output logic configured to transmit the distribution layer multiplexes over the regions of the multi-frequency network.
