Patent ID: 8503551

Claim:
A transmitter for transmitting broadcasting data to a receiver, the transmitter comprising: a first encoder configured to receive PLP (Physical Layer Pipe) data, to encode the received PLP data and to output the encoded PLP data; a second encoder configured to receive Layer 1 signaling data, to encode the received Layer 1 signaling data and to output the encoded Layer 1 signaling data; and a frame builder configured to receive the output PLP data and the output Layer 1 signaling data and to assemble the received PLP data and the received Layer 1 signaling data to form a frame structure, wherein the transmitter is configured to process the Layer 1 signaling data, wherein the Layer 1 signaling data include PLP_bundled information indicating whether or not the associated PLP is bundled with other PLP within a broadcasting system, and wherein the bundled PLP carrying at least one service is de-multiplexed into multiple data slices.
