Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting a broadcast signal in a transmitter, the method comprising: multiplexing mobile data and main data; and transmitting a transmission frame including the multiplexed mobile and main data, wherein a parade of data groups is transmitted during slots within the transmission frame, the slots being basic time periods for multiplexing of the mobile data and the main data, wherein each data group includes the mobile data and signaling information, wherein the signaling information includes fast information channel (FIC) data including binding information between a service of the mobile data and an ensemble and transmission parameter channel (TPC) data indicating a version of the FIC data, wherein the FIC data is divided into a plurality of FIC segment payloads, and each FIC segment including an FIC segment header and one of the plurality of FIC segment payloads is transmitted in each of the data groups, wherein at least one Reed-Solomon (RS) frame belonging to the ensemble is formed by performing RS-CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) encoding on a payload of the RS frame, wherein the payload of the RS frame comprises a plurality of transport packets which include the mobile data for the service and a signaling table describing the service, wherein the signaling table includes a service labeling table having an identifier of the service and a short name of the service, and wherein the at least one RS frame is divided into a plurality of data portions to which the data groups are mapped.
