Claim:
1. A method for transmitting, in a digital broadcast network supporting a configuration of a plurality of physical layer pipes, digital broadcast data encapsulated into one or more baseband frames each with a header of a predefined format, the baseband frames being the frames to which physical layer forward error correction coding is applied and that are mapped on at least one physical layer pipe, the method comprising the steps of: configuring one or more parameters of a physical layer pipe; transmitting the configured parameters within physical layer signaling related to said physical layer pipe; and transmitting, within said physical layer pipe baseband frames, the header of each baseband frame including a parameter indicating presence of input stream synchronization and parameters indicating at least one of a length of a baseband payload and a distance to a start of a first user packet within the baseband frame, and not including a parameter indicating an input stream identifier and parameters indicating at least two of an input stream format, a single or a multiple input stream, constant or adaptive coding and modulation, and presence of null packet deletion, wherein the physical layer signaling at least includes the parameters that are not included in the header of each baseband frame indicating said at least two of an input stream format, a single or a multiple input stream, constant or adaptive coding and modulation, and presence of null packet deletion.
