Load Control System Having a Broadcast Controller with a Diverse Wireless Communication System

A load control system for controlling the amount of power delivered from an AC power source to a plurality of electrical load includes a plurality of energy controllers. Each energy controller is operable to control at least one of the electrical loads. The load control system also includes a first broadcast controller that has a first antenna and a second antenna. The first antenna is arranged in a first position and the second antenna is arranged in a second position that is orthogonal to the first position. The broadcast controller is operable to transmit a first wireless signal via the first antenna and a second wireless signal via the second antenna. Each of the energy controllers is operable to receive at least one of the first and second wireless signals, and to control the respective load in response to the received wireless signal.

A method is provided for receiving broadcast signals. The broadcast signals are received. The received broadcast signals are demodulated by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) scheme, a signal frame is parsed from the demodulated broadcast signals, data is decoded in the parsed signal frame to output baseband packets, the baseband packets are output-processed to output link layer packets, and the link layer packets are de-encapsulated to output Transport Stream (TS) packets by inserting a header for each TS packet of which a header is deleted based on information of a header of the link layer packets.
