Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting a broadcast signal, the method comprising: multiplexing mobile data and main data; and transmitting a transmission frame including the multiplexed mobile data and main data, wherein a parade of data groups is transmitted during slots within the transmission frame, the slots being time periods for multiplexing of the mobile data and the main data, wherein data groups include the mobile data, signaling information and known data sequences, wherein the signaling information includes fast information channel (FIC) data having binding information between a service of the mobile data and an ensemble, and transmission parameter channel (TPC) data having version information of the FIC data, wherein the FIC data is divided to a plurality of FIC segments, and each FIC segment including an FIC segment header is transmitted in each of the data groups, wherein the ensemble includes the service and a signaling table describing the service, wherein the service includes a mobile service component, and the signaling table includes a service map table having an encoding parameter identifying an encoding format of the mobile service component, and wherein the ensemble is RS-CRC (cyclic redundancy check) encoded through a Reed-Solomon (RS) frame which is 2-dimensional data frame, and a row of a payload of the RS frame includes a transport packet of the mobile data.
