Linkage
Linkage information provides the means by which several programme services, each characterised by its own PI code, may be treated by a
receiver as a single service during times a common programme is carried. During such times each programme service retains its unique
identity, i.e. the programme service must keep its designated PI code and its AF (Alternative Frequency) list(s), but may change programme
related features such as PS, PTY, RT, TP and TA to reflect the common programme;
Linkage information is conveyed in the following four data elements:
LA(linkage actuator)
EG(extended generic index)
ILS (international linkage standard)
LSN (linkage set number)
