Apparatus for transmitting and receiving a signal and method of transmitting and receiving a signal
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 interleaving in an appropriate manner for a channel bonding system. The interleaving can allow decoding a user requested service at a random tuner window position.
1. A method of transmitting a broadcasting signal to a receiver, the method comprising:
mapping preamble data bits into preamble data symbols and data bits into data symbols;
building at least one data slice based on the data symbols;
time-interleaving the data symbols at a level of the data slice;
building a signal frame based on the preamble data symbols and the data slice, the preamble data symbols comprising Layer 1 (L1) signaling information for signaling the data slice;
modulating the built signal frame by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) method; and
transmitting the modulated signal frame,
wherein the L1 signaling information has data slice ID information that identifies the data slice.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the length of the data slice ID information is 8 bits.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the L1 signaling information further have PLP PAYLOAD TYPE information which indicates the type of payload data carried by the PLP.
4. A method of receiving a broadcasting signal, the method comprising;
demodulating the received signal by use of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) method;
obtaining a signal frame from the demodulated signals, the signal frame comprising preamble symbols and data symbols, wherein the preamble symbols have Layer 1 (L1) signaling information, wherein the data symbols are divided into at least one data slices;
time-deinterleaving the data symbols at a level of the data slice;
demapping the time-deinterleaved data symbols into bits; and
decoding the bits by an LDPC (low density parity check) decoding scheme,
wherein the L1 signaling information has data slice ID information that identifies the data slice.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the length of the data slice ID information is 8 bits.
