First Claim
1. A media distribution apparatus configured to distribute a plurality of media data items using a base station, comprising:
- a memory configured to store a first media data item with a first classification, a second media data item with a second classification that is different from the first classification, first control information associated with the first media data item, and second control information associated with the second media data item;
a media distribution setting section configured to associate the first media data item and the first control information with a first distribution priority and associate the second media data item and the second control information with a second distribution priority;
a distributing section configured to distribute the first media data item and the first control information using a first bearer channel associated with the first distribution priority and distribute the second media data item and the second control information using a second bearer channel associated with the second distribution priority, the first bearer channel covering a first receiving area corresponding to a distance from the first receiving area to the base station and the second bearer channel covering a second receiving area corresponding to a distance from the second receiving area to the base station.

Abstract
According to the media server 100 and the network control apparatus 200, upon distributing a plurality of media data to the media receiving apparatuses 400 having different transmission rates by broadcasting or multicasting, the distribution precedence is attached by associating the program control information and the media data. The distribution precedence attached to the program control information is set same as or lower than the distribution precedence of all media data included in the program concerned. Then, depending on the distribution precedence, the transmission possible media data and the program only are selectively distributed. The program control information relating to the program that includes the receivable media data by the media receiving terminal apparatus 400 only is selected and received. This way, the receivable media data is distributed depending on the transmission environment of the media receiving apparatus. It is possible to prevent the media receiving apparatus selecting the invalid program.
