The present disclosure describes a reception apparatus that includes demodulation circuitry configured to obtain packets included in a plurality of PLPs (Physical Layer Pipes) of a broadcast stream, and processing circuitry configured to process the packets obtained by the demodulation circuitry. The demodulation circuitry and the processing circuitry are interconnected via a single interface. Each combination of an IP (Internet Protocol) address and a port number of an IP packet or a UDP (User Datagram Protocol) packet included in the plurality of PLPs is unique for each PLP in which the corresponding IP packet or the corresponding UDP packet is included. The processing circuitry is configured to identify a PLP in which one of the packets input via the single interface from the demodulation circuitry is included according to the combination of the IP address and the port number of the one of the packets.

A method for optimising the transmission power of an FM radio broadcasting transmitter includes sampling a signal representative of the audio content to be broadcasted by the FM radio broadcasting transmitter; continuously calculating the constituent parameters of the representative signal from frequency, amplitude, dynamic range, temporal distribution, energy and power; continuously analysing the parameters by comparison with a model of psycho-acoustic data; generating a controlling signal for controlling the power of the transmitter as a function of the results of the analysis and of the calculations allowed by the constituent parameters and the continuous psycho-acoustic data; driving of the RF power of the transmitter by means of the controlling signal.

A device for implementing the method in an FM radio broadcasting transmitter is also proposed.
