Abstract

The present invention provides a method of transmitting broadcast signals. The method includes, formatting input streams into Data Pipe (DP) data, Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) encoding the DP data according to a code rate, bit interleaving the LDPC encoded DP data, mapping the bit interleaved DP data onto constellations, building at least one signal frame including the mapped DP data, and modulating data in the built signal frame by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) method and transmitting the broadcast signals having the modulated data, wherein the input streams include Audio/Video (A/V) data and service guide data, and wherein the Audio/Video (A/V) data and service guide data are included in first ISO base media file format (ISOBMFF) files.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of receiving a broadcast signal in a receiver, the method comprising:
receiving the broadcast signal including link layer packets into which Internet Protocol (IP) packets are encapsulated, wherein each link layer packet includes a link layer packet header and a payload, wherein the link layer packet header includes an information field for identifying whether the payload carries a segmentation of an IP packet or carries a concatenation of an IP packet with another IP packet, and wherein headers of the IP packets are compressed based on Robust Header Compression (RoHC) of unidirectional mode;
decapsulating the link layer packets into the IP packets based on the information field; and
decompressing the headers of the IP packets.

2. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the IP packets include files based on ISO base media file format (ISO BMFF) and
wherein the files include Audio/Video (A/V) data.

3. A receiver for receiving a broadcast signal, the receiver comprising:
an antenna to receive the broadcast signal including link layer packets into which Internet Protocol (IP) packets are encapsulated, wherein each link layer packet includes a link layer packet header and a payload, wherein the link layer packet header includes an information field for identifying whether the payload carries a segmentation of an IP packet or carries a concatenation of an IP packet with another IP packet, and wherein headers of the IP packets are compressed based on Robust Header Compression (RoHC) of unidirectional mode; and
a processor to:
decapsulate the link layer packets into the IP packets based on the information field, and
decompress the headers of the IP packets.

4. The receiver of claim 3 ,
wherein the IP packets include files based on ISO base media file format (ISO BMFF) and
wherein the files include Audio/Video (A/V) data.

5. A method of transmitting a broadcast signal in a transmitter, the method comprising:
encapsulating Internet Protocol (IP) packets into link layer packets, wherein each link layer packet includes a link layer packet header and a payload, wherein the link layer packet header includes an information field for identifying whether the payload carries a segmentation of an IP packet or carries a concatenation of an IP packet with another IP packet, and wherein headers of the IP packets are compressed based on Robust Header Compression (RoHC) of unidirectional mode;
generating the broadcast signal including the link layer packets; and
transmitting the broadcast signal.

6. The method of claim 5 ,
wherein the IP packets include files based on ISO base media file format (ISO BMFF) and
wherein the files include Audio/Video (A/V) data.

7. A transmitter for transmitting a broadcast signal, the transmitter comprising:
a processor to:
encapsulate Internet Protocol (IP) packets into link layer packets, wherein each link layer packet includes a link layer packet header and a payload, wherein the link layer packet header includes an information field for identifying whether the payload carries a segmentation of an IP packet or carries a concatenation of an IP packet with another IP packet, and wherein headers of the IP packets are compressed based on Robust Header Compression (RoHC) of unidirectional mode, and
generate the broadcast signal including the link layer packets; and

an antenna to transmit the broadcast signal.

8. The transmitter of claim 7 ,
wherein the IP packets include files based on ISO base media file format (ISO BMFF) and
wherein the files include Audio/Video (A/V) data.
