Abstract:

The present technology relates to a receiving device, a receiving method, a transmitting device, and a transmitting method that enable a more appropriate introduction of a new broadcasting scheme. A receiving device is provided including a receiving unit that receives a transmission frame transmitted from a transmitting device, and a demodulation unit that performs demodulation processing on a data signal obtained from a transmission frame that has been received, on the basis of a transmission control signal obtained from the transmission frame that has been received, in which the transmission control signal includes time-division control information regarding time-division control, as control information according to introduction of a second scheme compatible with a first scheme, and the demodulation unit operates according to the time-division control information. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a transmission system compliant with a broadcasting scheme such as an ISDB-T scheme.
