This paper discusses a cooperative reception technique for Japanese digital terrestrial television broadcasting "One-segment service" using multiple terminals. In this paper, received signals and the channel information are transmitted by using one-way or two-way communication. Maximum ratio combining scheme are performed in the own terminal using the exchanged channel information. The error rate performance can be improved by using multiple receiving terminals in the One-Segment Service.
