DATA FEEDBACK FOR BROADCAST APPLICATIONS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying at least one channel currently available in a digital broadcast spectrum;
transmitting data via the at least one identified channel of the digital broadcast spectrum, wherein the transmitted data complies with a digital broadcast format;
receiving a representation of the data;
comparing, by at least one device, at least a portion of the received representation of the data to at least a portion of the transmitted data; and
determining, by the at least one device, whether to adjust a broadcast transmission parameter or a data transformation parameter for use in subsequent data communication based upon the comparison.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to techniques for processing feedback associated with data previously transmitted by a communication device. One example communication system comprises one or more processors, a channel identifier, a transmitter, and a data receiver/feedback unit. The channel identifier is operable to identify at least one channel currently available in a digital broadcast spectrum. The transmitter is operable to transmit data via the at least one identified channel of the digital broadcast spectrum, wherein the transmitted data complies with a digital broadcast format. The data receiver/feedback unit is operable to receive a representation of the data and compare at least a portion of the received representation of the data to at least a portion of the transmitted data. The one or more processors are configured to determine whether to adjust a broadcast transmission parameter or a data transformation parameter for use in subsequent data communication based upon the comparison.
