1. A method of transmitting data comprising a plurality of data streams in a broadcasting system, the method comprising:
- allocating the plurality of data streams to at least one of the plurality of physical layer zones in a frame;
allocating signaling information associated with the plurality of physical layer zones to at least one of the plurality of physical layer zones; and
transmitting the frame,wherein the frame is divided into the plurality of physical layer zones that are separated by at least one of a plurality of factors, the plurality of factors including a length of a guard period, a multiple antenna transmission scheme, and a pilot pattern, andwherein the at least one of the plurality of factors varies between at least two of the plurality of physical layer zones.
