Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method of receiving a broadcast signal. The method comprises receiving the broadcast signal; an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) demodulating on the received broadcast signal; parsing at least one signal frame from the demodulated broadcast signal to extract service data or service component data; converting the service data or service component data into bits; decoding the converted bits; and outputting a data stream comprising the decoded bits.

Claims (36)

1. A method of receiving a broadcast signal, the method comprising:

receiving the broadcast signal,

wherein the broadcast signal includes at least one signal frame, the signal frame includes control information indicating whether a frequency interleaving (FI) is used for a specific transport block in the signal frame;

demodulating the broadcast signal using an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme;

obtaining the control information in the broadcast signal;

selectively frequency deinterleaving the specific transport block based on the control information;

de-mapping service data of the specific transport block into bit domain;

Forward Error Correction (FEC) decoding the service data; and

outputting data stream including the service data,

wherein whether or not to perform the frequency deinterleaving for the specific transport block is determined based on the control information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal frame comprises:

a preamble,

wherein the control information is included in the preamble.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the frequency deinterleaving is performed by using a different deinterleaving sequence for each symbol pair in the specific transport block.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the frequency deinterleaving is performed based on a sequence generated by a first sequence generator and a symbol offset value generated by a second sequence generator.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the symbol pair comprises two sequential symbols.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the sequence generated by a first sequence generator is determined based on a FFT size.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control information is frequency interleaver mode (FI_MODE) information.

8. The method of claim 1 , if the value of the control information is set to a first value, the frequency deinterleaving is performed, and

if the value of the control information is set to a second value, the frequency deinterleaving is not performed.

9. A reception apparatus for receiving a broadcast signal, comprising:

a receiver for receiving the broadcast signal,

wherein the broadcast signal includes at least one signal frame, the signal frame includes control information indicating whether a frequency interleaving (FI) is used for a specific transport block in the signal frame;

a demodulator for demodulating the broadcast signal using an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme;

a frequency deinterleaver for obtaining the control information in the broadcast signal and selectively frequency deinterleaving the specific transport block based on the control information;

a de-mapper for de-mapping service data of the specific transport block into bit domain;

a Forward Error Correction (FEC) decoder for FEC decoding the service data; and

an output processor for outputting data stream including the service data,

wherein the frequency deinterleaver determines whether or not to perform the frequency deinterleaving for the specific transport block based on the control information.

10. The reception apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the signal frame comprises:

a preamble,

wherein the control information is included in the preamble.

11. The reception apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the frequency deinterleaving is performed by using a different deinterleaving sequence for each symbol pair in the specific transport block.

12. The reception apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the frequency deinterleaver comprises a first sequence generator and a second sequence generator.

13. The reception apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the frequency deinterleaving is performed based on a sequence generated by the first sequence generator and a symbol offset value generated by the second sequence generator.
