Abstract

A method for transmitting signaling information in a digital broadcasting system is provided. The method includes generating the signaling information for reception of a broadcast service, and transmitting the signaling information using at least one of a first transmission scheme and a second transmission scheme, which are different from each other in access time to a broadcast channel.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting signaling information in a digital broadcasting system, the method comprising:

generating signaling information associated with a broadcast service; and

transmitting the signaling information,

wherein at least part of information associated with a second transmission scheme among the signaling information is transmitted based on a first transmission scheme,

wherein the first transmission scheme includes a generic stream encapsulation (GSE) scheme in a digital video broadcasting (DVB) system, and

wherein the second transmission scheme includes a moving picture experts group (MPEG) media transport (MMT) scheme.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the signaling information includes first signaling information used for reception of the broadcast service, and the first signaling information is transmitted based on the first transmission scheme.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first transmission scheme is faster than the second transmission scheme in terms of an access time.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the first signaling information includes at least one of a package access (PA) message, a MMT composition information (MCI) message, and network information in a MMT system.

5. The method of claim 1,

wherein the signaling information includes second signaling information including remaining signaling information except for the first signaling information, and

wherein the second signaling information is transmitted based on at least one of the first transmission scheme and the second transmission scheme.
