Claim:
1. A method for transmitting a broadcast signal, the method comprising: generating service data of a broadcast service and first signaling information, the service data including a plurality of content components of the broadcast service, the first signaling information being for accessing the broadcast service, wherein the first signaling information and the content components are carried by at least one Real time Object delivery over Unidirectional Transport (ROUTE) session, and each of the at least one ROUTE session includes a plurality of Layered Coding Transport (LCT) sessions which carry the content components corresponding thereto; generating second signaling information including bootstrap information for broadcast services, the bootstrap information identifying a ROUTE session carrying the first signaling information of the broadcast service, wherein a specific LCT session of the identified ROUTE session carries the first signaling information including first metadata and second metadata, the first metadata provides information used to determine a transport mode of the content components of the broadcast service, and the second metadata provides overall session description information for the at least one ROUTE session which carries the content components of the broadcast service; and transmitting the broadcast signal including the service data, the first signaling information and the second signaling information, wherein the second metadata includes a plurality of ROUTE session elements, wherein each of the ROUTE session elements includes Internet Protocol (IP)/User Datagram Protocol (UDP) information for identifying a corresponding ROUTE session and a plurality of LCT session elements, wherein each of the LCT session elements includes a transport session identifier of an LCT session in which one of the content components of the broadcast service are delivered, wherein the specific LCT session further carries third metadata which belongs to the first signaling information, and the third metadata provides resource identifiers for the content components for a media presentation of the broadcast service, and wherein the first metadata comprises a reference to a corresponding service entry in the second signaling information.
