Abstract

A method is provided for receiving broadcast signals. The broadcast signals are received. The received broadcast signals are demodulated by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) scheme, a signal frame is parsed from the demodulated broadcast signals, data is decoded in the parsed signal frame to output baseband packets, the baseband packets are output-processed to output link layer packets, and the link layer packets are de-encapsulated to output Transport Stream (TS) packets by inserting a header for each TS packet of which a header is deleted based on information of a header of the link layer packets.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for receiving broadcast signals, the method comprising:
receiving the broadcast signals;
demodulating the received broadcast signals by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) scheme;
parsing a signal frame from the demodulated broadcast signals;
decoding data in the parsed signal frame to output baseband packets; and
output-processing the baseband packets to output Transport Stream (TS) packets,
wherein the baseband packets include link layer packets to which an encapsulation is applied,
wherein each header of the link layer packets includes first information indicating whether a header deletion is performed on the TS packets, and
wherein the output-processing includes inserting a header for each TS packet of which a header is deleted based on the first information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the output-processing further includes inserting a sync byte into a header of each of the TS packets.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a header of each of the baseband packets includes an extension field which extends the header of the each of the baseband packets.

4. An apparatus for receiving broadcast signals, the apparatus comprising:
a receiver to receive the broadcast signals;
a demodulator to demodulate the received broadcast signals by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) scheme;
a frame parser to parse a signal frame from the demodulated broadcast signals;
a decoder to decode data in the parsed signal frame to output baseband packets; and
an output-processor to output-process the baseband packets to output Transport Stream (TS) packets,
wherein the baseband packets include link layer packets to which an encapsulation is applied,
wherein each header of the link layer packets includes first information indicating whether a header deletion is performed on the TS packets, and
wherein the output-processor inserts a header for each TS packet of which a header is deleted based on the first information.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the output-processor further inserts a sync byte into a header of each of the TS packets.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein a header of each of the baseband packets includes an extension field which extends the header of the each of the baseband packets.
