Abstract

The present invention relates to method of transmitting and receiving signals and a corresponding apparatus. One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of receiving a signal, which includes an L1 signaling region where the L1 signaling has an adaptive L1 block structure for increased spectrum efficiency in a channel bonding environment.

Claims (15)

1. A method of transmitting broadcast data in a broadcast transmitting system, the method comprising:

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) encoding Physical Layer Pipe (PLP) data of a PLP;

inner encoding the CRC-encoded PLP data;

mapping the inner encoded PLP data onto constellations using a non-uniform constellation M-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) scheme, wherein M is an integer greater than 1;

outer encoding Layer 1 (L1) signaling information for signaling the PLP;

padding the outer encoded L1 signaling information with at least one zero bit;

inner encoding the outer encoded L1 signaling information and the at least one zero bit;

removing the at least one zero bit from the inner encoded L1 signaling information;

mapping the inner encoded L1 signaling information from which the at least one zero bit is removed onto constellations using a non-uniform constellation N-QAM scheme, wherein N is an integer greater than 1;

building a signal frame including the PLP data mapped onto the constellations and the L1 signaling information mapped onto the constellations;

modulating the signal frame by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) method; and

transmitting a broadcasting signal including data of the modulated signal frame.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the L1 signaling information includes modulation information that identifies the non-uniform constellation M-QAM used for the PLP.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-uniform constellation M-QAM is a non-uniform constellation 64-QAM, a non-uniform constellation 256-QAM, a non-uniform constellation 1024-QAM, or a non-uniform constellation 4096-QAM.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the L1 signaling information includes PLP identification (ID) information that identifies the PLP, PLP start information that identifies a start position of the PLP, and PLP TYPE information that indicates a type of the PLP.
