Abstract

Disclosed are a broadcast signal transmitting apparatus, a broadcast signal receiving apparatus, and a broadcast signal transceiving method in the broadcast signal transmitting and receiving apparatuses. The broadcast signal transmitting method comprises the steps of: compressing headers of data packets which are included in an Internet protocol (IP) stream identified by access information, wherein the compressed data packets include a first packet containing both static information and dynamic information in the header thereof, and a second packet containing dynamic information in the header thereof; splitting the static information from the header of the first packet and diverting the remaining part thereof into the second packet; outputting an IP stream, which includes the second packet, via a data physical layer pipe (PLP); outputting, via a common PLP, a common stream, which includes the static information of the header of the first packet split in the previous step, compression information and IP-PLP mapping information for linking the IP stream and the data PLP; generating a signal frame on the basis of the data from the data PLP and the data of the common PLP; and transmitting a broadcast signal which includes the signal frame.

Claims (20)

1. A method for transmitting a broadcast signal in a broadcast signal transmitting apparatus, the comprising:

compressing headers of data packets being included in an IP (Internet Protocol) stream, the IP stream being identified by access information, wherein the compressed data packets include a first packet including static information and dynamic information in its header, and a second packet including dynamic information in its header;

separating static information from the header of the first packet and converting remaining portion to the second packet;

outputting the IP stream including the second packet through a data PLP (physical layer pipe);

outputting a common stream through a common PLP, the common stream including the static information separated from the header of the first packet, compression information of the header of the first packet, and IP-PLP mapping information for linking the IP stream with the data PLP;

generating a signal frame based upon data of the data PLP and data of the common PLP; and

transmitting the broadcast signal including the signal frame.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein converting remaining portion to the second packet removes the static information from the header of the first packet, and changes header identification information of the first packet to header identification information of the second packet thereby converting to the second packet.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the static information and the compression information of the header of the first packet and the IP-PLP mapping information are signaled to L 2 signaling information in a binary format and the L 2 signaling information is included in the common PLP.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IP-PLP mapping information includes access information of the IP stream and an identifier for identifying the data PLP.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compression information includes contact profile information indicating up to which protocol the header of the first packet has been compressed, and a context identifier for identifying an IP stream having the header of the first packet compressed therein.

6. A broadcast signal transmitting apparatus, comprising:

an RoHC encoding unit compressing headers of data packets being included in an IP (Internet Protocol) stream, the IP stream being identified by access information, wherein the compressed data packets include a first packet including static information and dynamic information in its header, and a second packet including dynamic information in its header;

a transmission replacing unit separating static information from the header of the first packet, converting remaining portion to the second packet, and outputting the IP stream including the second packet through a data PLP (physical layer pipe);

a multiplexer outputting a common stream through a common PLP, the common stream including the static information separated from header of the first packet by the transmission replacing unit, compression information of the header of the first packet, and IP-PLP mapping information for linking the IP stream with the data PLP; and

a transmitter generating a signal frame based upon data of the data PLP and data of the common PLP and transmitting a broadcast signal including the generated signal frame.

7. The broadcast signal transmitting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the transmission replacing unit converts to the second packet by removing the static information from the header of the first packet, and by changing header identification information of the first packet to header identification information of the second packet.

8. The broadcast signal transmitting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the static information and the compression information of the header of the first packet, and IP-PLP mapping information are signaled to L 2 signaling information in a binary format and the L 2 signaling information is included in the common stream.

9. The broadcast signal transmitting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the IP-PLP mapping information includes access information of the IP stream and an identifier for identifying the data PLP.

10. The broadcast signal transmitting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the compression information includes contact profile information indicating a compression method of the first packet, and a context identifier for identifying an IP stream having the header of the first packet compressed therein.
