METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING ELECTRONIC SERVICE GUIDE IN A DIGITAL BROADCASTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) in a Convergence of Broadcasting and Mobile Service (CBMS) system, the method comprising:
- determining a delivery path of ESG data;
setting a first information element indicating transmission of a broadcast ESG when the ESG data can be delivered over a broadcast network;
setting a second information element indicating transmission of a Point-to-Point (PTP) ESG for a terminal or a terminal group when the ESG data can be delivered over an interactive network in a PTP bearer;
transmitting ESG delivery information including at least one of the first information element and the second information element, to at least one terminal over at least one ESG bootstrap session for carrying information necessary for transmission of the ESG data; and
transmitting at least one of the broadcast ESG and the PTP ESG to the at least one terminal over at least one delivery path of the broadcast network and the interactive network.

Abstract
A method for transmitting an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) in a Convergence of Broadcasting and Mobile Service (CBMS) system is provided. A delivery path of ESG data is parsed. A first information element indicating transmission of a broadcast ESG when the ESG data can be delivered over a broadcast network is set. A second information element indicating transmission of a Point-to-Point (PTP) ESG for a terminal or a terminal group when the ESG data can be delivered over an interactive network in a PTP bearer is set. ESG delivery information is transmitted including at least one of the first and second information elements, to at least one terminal over at least one ESG bootstrap session for carrying information necessary for transmission of the ESG data. The broadcast ESG and the PTP ESG are transmitted to the at least one terminal over at least one delivery path out of the broadcast network and the interactive network.
