Abstract

Disclosed are a broadcast signal transmitting apparatus, a broadcast signal receiving apparatus, and a broadcast signal transceiving method in the broadcast signal transmitting and receiving apparatuses. The broadcast signal transmitting method comprises the steps of: compressing headers of data packets which are included in an Internet protocol (IP) stream identified by access information, wherein the compressed data packets include a first packet containing both static information and dynamic information in the header thereof, and a second packet containing dynamic information in the header thereof; splitting the static information from the header of the first packet and diverting the remaining part thereof into the second packet; outputting an IP stream, which includes the second packet, via a data physical layer pipe (PLP); outputting, via a common PLP, a common stream, which includes the static information of the header of the first packet split in the previous step, compression information and IP-PLP mapping information for linking the IP stream and the data PLP; generating a signal frame on the basis of the data from the data PLP and the data of the common PLP; and transmitting a broadcast signal which includes the signal frame.

Claims

1. A method of processing broadcast data in a transmitter, the method comprising:

formatting input streams including data packets into one or multiple Physical Layer Pipes (PLPs) for a service, wherein the formatting further includes;

compressing headers of the data packets, and

extracting context information from one of the compressed data packets, wherein the context information is transmitted in one of the PLPs, separately from the compressed data packets;

Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoding PLP data of the one or multiple PLPs;

bit interleaving the FEC-encoded PLP data;

time interleaving the bit-interleaved PLP data;

building a signal frame including the time-interleaved PLP data; and

transmitting a broadcast signal including data of the signal frame,

wherein the signal frame further includes signaling information including the context information and mapping information,

wherein the mapping information includes information for identifying sessions carrying the input streams in a PLP and information for identifying the PLP.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one of the PLPs carrying the context information is signaled by transmission information in the signal frame.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the mapping information is for mapping between the sessions and the PLP carrying the sessions.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the data packets has a header and a payload, the header including information for signaling the payload.

5. A transmitting system for processing broadcast data, the transmitting system comprising:

processor that formats input streams including data packets into one or multiple Physical Layer Pipes (PLPs) for a service, wherein the processor compresses headers of the data packets, wherein the processor extracts context information from one of the compressed data packets, wherein the context information is transmitted in one of the PLPs, separately from the compressed data packets;

an encoder that Forward Error Correction (FEC) encodes PLP data of the one or multiple PLPs;

a first interleaver that bit interleaves the FEC-encoded PLP data;

a second interleaver that time interleaves the bit-interleaved PLP data;

a frame builder that builds a signal frame including the time-interleaved PLP data; and

a transmitter that transmits a broadcast signal including data of the signal frame,

wherein the signal frame further includes signaling information including the context information and mapping information,

wherein the mapping information includes information for identifying sessions carrying the input streams in a PLP and information for identifying the PLP.

6. The transmitting system of claim 5, wherein the one of the PLPs carrying the context information is signaled by transmission information in the signal frame.

7. The transmitting system of claim 5, wherein the mapping information is for mapping between the sessions and the PLP carrying the sessions.

8. The transmitting system of claim 5, wherein each of the data packets has a header and a payload, the header including information for signaling the payload.
