Abstract:
1. A method of receiving a broadcast signal in a receiver, the method comprising: receiving the broadcast signal including a transmission frame, the transmission frame comprising a collection of data groups, wherein the collection of data groups carries an ensemble of mobile data and signaling data, the signaling data including first signaling data and second signaling data, wherein the first signaling data describes the transmission frame and the collection of data groups and includes version information for identifying an update of the second signaling data, wherein the second signaling data includes binding information between a service of the mobile data and the ensemble, and wherein the ensemble includes the mobile data and at least one signaling table for describing the service of the mobile data; demodulating the broadcast signal; decoding the signaling data including the first signaling data and the second signaling data from the demodulated broadcast signal, wherein decoding the signaling data comprises: accessing the ensemble based on the second RS decoded second signaling data: decoding the at least one signaling table in the ensemble; and accessing the service of the mobile data based on the at least one signaling table of the ensemble, wherein the second signaling data includes a chunk header and a chunk payload, wherein the chunk header includes a major protocol version field and a minor protocol version field, wherein the major protocol version field represents a non-backward-compatible level of change for a major version of syntax and semantics of the second signaling data and the minor protocol version field represents a backward compatible level of change for a minor version of syntax and semantics of the second signaling data, wherein the chunk payload includes a ensemble protocol version field, and wherein the ensemble protocol version field represents a version of a structure of the ensemble.
