Abstract

A broadcast reception method includes: receiving a broadcast signal including service data and signaling information for a service, wherein the signaling information includes first signaling information for acquisition of the service, wherein the signaling information includes second signaling information including bootstrap information for the service; acquiring the service data on the basis of the signaling information; and decoding the service data, wherein the signaling information includes electronic service guide (ESG) bootstrap information for ESG data.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A broadcast signal reception method comprising:
receiving a broadcast signal including service data and signaling information for a service through a terrestrial broadcast network,
the signaling information including a service identifier indicating the service, category information indicating a category of the service, and bootstrapping information to obtain service signaling information for the service that is transmitted via either the terrestrial broadcast network or a broadband network that is different from the terrestrial broadcast network;
demodulating the received broadcast signal by an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) scheme;
frequency de-interleaving the demodulated broadcast signal;
time de-interleaving the frequency de-interleaved broadcast signal including PLP (Physical Layer Pipe) data interleaved by a first interleaving operation or a second interleaving operation,
the first interleaving operation including convolutional interleaving operation,
the second interleaving operation including block interleaving operation which is based on a TI (Time Interleaving) block including one or more virtual FEC (Forward Error Correction) blocks;
in response to the bootstrapping information that includes URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information of the service signaling information, acquiring the service signaling information through the broadband network based on the bootstrapping information, or
in response to the bootstrapping information that includes an IP (Internet Protocol) address of an IP packet carrying the service signaling information, acquiring the service signaling information through the terrestrial broadcast network; and
acquiring components carried in a plurality of transport packets, one or more transport packets of the plurality of transport packets carrying one or more SGDUs (Service Guide Delivery Units), and the service signaling information including transport session information of the plurality of transport packets.

2. The broadcast signal reception method of claim 1 , wherein the transport session information includes ROUTE (real time object delivery over unidirectional transport) session information of a Route session to which the one or more transport packets belong.

3. The broadcast signal reception method of claim 1 , wherein acquiring components carried in the plurality of transport packets includes:
the components are data for an ESG (Electronic Service Guide) service, that is represented by in response to the service identifier and the category information, carried in one or more SGDUs, the service signaling information describing transport session information of one or more transport sessions in which the SGDUs are carried.

4. The broadcast signal reception method of claim 3 , wherein the service signaling information includes an MPD (Media Presentation Description).

5. The broadcast signal reception method of claim 3 , wherein a payload of the transport packet carries one of a contiguous portion of an object for the broadcast service.

6. A broadcast signal reception apparatus comprising:
a tuner configured to receive a broadcast signal including service data and signaling information for a service through a terrestrial broadcast network,
the signaling information including a service identifier indicating the service, category information indicating a category of the service, and bootstrapping information to obtain service signaling information for the service that is transmitted via either the terrestrial broadcast network or a broadband network that is different from the terrestrial broadcast network;
demodulator configured to demodulate the received broadcast signal by an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) scheme;
frequency de-interleaver configured to frequency de-interleave the demodulated broadcast signal;
time deinterleaver configured to time de-interleaving the frequency de-interleaved broadcast signal including PLP (Physical Layer Pipe) data interleaved by a first interleaving operation or a second interleaving operation,
the first interleaving operation including convolutional interleaving operation,
the second interleaving operation including block interleaving operation which is based on a TI (Time Interleaving) block including one or more virtual FEC (Forward Error Correction) blocks;
in response to the bootstrapping information that includes URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information of the service signaling information, a controller configured to acquire the service signaling information through the broadband network based on the bootstrapping information, or
in response to the bootstrapping information that includes an IP (Internet Protocol) address of an IP packet carrying the service signaling information, the controller configured to acquire the service signaling information through the terrestrial broadcast network,
wherein:
the controller is further configured to acquire components carried in a plurality of transport packets, one or more transport packets of the plurality of transport packets carrying one or more SGDUs (Service Guide Delivery Units), and the service signaling information including transport session information of the plurality of transport packets.

7. The broadcast signal reception apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the transport session information includes ROUTE (real time object delivery over unidirectional transport) session information of a Route session to which the one or more transport packets belong.

8. The broadcast signal reception apparatus of claim 6 , wherein acquiring components carried in the plurality of transport packets includes:
the components are data for ESG (Electronic Service Guide) service, that is represented by in response to the service identifier and the category information, carried in one or more SGDUs, the service signaling information describing transport session information of one or more transport sessions in which the SGDUs are carried.

9. The broadcast signal reception apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the service signaling information includes an MPD (Media Presentation Description).

10. The broadcast signal reception apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a payload of the transport packet carries one of a contiguous portion of an object for the broadcast service.
