Claim:
A method of receiving a broadcast signal in a receiver, the method comprising: receiving a broadcast signal carrying mobile data, wherein the broadcast signal delivers signaling data for rapid service acquisition and an ensemble which is a collection of mobile services and is encoded with the same Forward Error Correction code, wherein the signaling data includes an identifier of the ensemble, wherein the ensemble includes a stream for a service signaling channel for delivering service signaling tables, wherein the service signaling tables includes a guide access table describing service guide (SG) data services present in a mobile broadcast; demodulating the broadcast signal; decoding the signaling data from the demodulated broadcast signal; accessing the ensemble from the demodulated broadcast signal; acquiring the guide access table from the accessed ensemble, wherein the guide access table includes service guide bootstrapping information providing parameters that are necessary for bootstrapping a service guide of the service guide data; and accessing the service guide by using the acquired service guide bootstrapping information and a mobile service of the accessed ensemble, wherein the service guide bootstrapping information includes service guide delivery network type information indicating whether service guide fragments of the service data are delivered through the same mobile broadcast where the guide access table is delivered or the service guide fragments of the service data are delivered through a different mobile broadcast from the mobile broadcast where the guide access table is delivered.
