DECLARING TERMINAL PROVISIONING WITH SERVICE GUIDE

摘要

Provided are apparatuses and methods in a digital broadcast transmission system for transmitting terminal provisioning as a service or as an access of a service. Terminal provisioning may provide a terminal with, for example, configuration parameters, data, or applications to a terminal or group of terminals. Transmission of terminal provisioning may be accomplished in an ESG fragment which may include, for example, a service fragment, an access fragment or a content fragment. In one example, a parameter may be included in the service fragment of an ESG fragment that may identify a type of service fragment. The type of service fragment may be indicated as terminal provisioning services. In another example, a parameter may be included in an access fragment of an ESG fragment for indicating terminal provisioning as a service or access of a service. Also, a content fragment may include terminal provisioning messages as files.
