Claim Text:
1. A method for transmitting broadcast signals, the method comprising: FEC (Forward Error Correction) encoding broadcast data for broadcast service; encoding the FEC encoded broadcast data using a specific code rate; encoding signaling information including transmission parameters and service acquisition data, the service acquisition data carrying cross-layer information to enable fast service acquisition and the transmission parameters including code rate information specifying the specific code rate; generating data frames including the encoded broadcast data and the signaling information; and transmitting the broadcast signals including the data frames, wherein signaling information further includes information specifying a transmission mode, wherein the data frames include a plurality of data units, wherein each of the data units includes known data used for channel equalization at a receiver, and wherein the signaling information further includes information specifying neighboring data units that include the known data.
