1. A method for transmitting a broadcast signal, comprising:
- formatting input stream into one or more physical layer pipes (PLPs);
encoding data of the one or more PLPs;
generating at least one signal frame by mapping the encoded data; and
modulating the at least one signal frame using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme and transmitting the broadcast signal comprising the at least one modulated signal frame,wherein the input stream comprises multiple packets,wherein the multiple packets comprise at least one of a null packet or a data packet,wherein the null packet included in the input stream is deleted,wherein a number of the deleted null packet is counted,wherein one or more data packets follow a deleted null packet (DNP) field,wherein the deleted null packet (DNP) field is an information indicating the number of the deleted null packet, andwherein the DNP field is set as the counted value.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for sending a broadcast signal. The method includes formatting input streams into multiple data pipes (DPs). Formatting the input streams into the multiple DPs includes splitting the input streams into multiple data streams, deleting a null packet included in a data stream, and forming a baseband frame (BBF) by adding a header to the data stream. The baseband frame includes a deleted null packet (DNP) field indicative of the number of deleted null packets, and the DNP field comprises at least one of a first DNP or a second DNP.
