Abstract

The apparatus for transmitting broadcast signals, the apparatus comprises an encoder for encoding service data corresponding to each of a plurality of data transmission path, wherein each of the data transmission path carries at least one service component, a frame builder for building at least one signal frame including the encoded service data, a modulator for modulating the at least one signal frame by an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) scheme, a transmitter for transmitting the broadcast signals carrying the at least one modulated signal frame, wherein each of the at least one signal frame includes a preamble having signaling data, wherein the signaling data includes size of FFT, information of whether the signal frame including EAC message or not and information relating to the service data of the signal frame.

Claims (28)

1. A method for transmitting broadcast signals by a broadcast signal transmitter, the method comprising:

encoding service data corresponding to each of a plurality of data transmission paths;

building signal frames including data symbols for the encoded service data;

modulating the signal frames by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) scheme to convert the data symbols to data OFDM symbols;

inserting a preamble positioned at a start of the modulated signal frames in a time domain after the OFDM modulating step;

wherein the preamble contains a first OFDM symbol and a second OFDM symbol,

wherein each OFDM symbol in the preamble is generated by multiplying a sequence corresponding to signaling information with a different sequence, subcarrier allocating the multiplied sequence and Inverse Fast Fourier Transforming (IFFT) the allocated sequence,

wherein the first OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbol in the preamble include information for an emergency alert; and

transmitting the broadcast signals carrying the modulated signal frames having the preamble,

wherein each signal frame is assigned to a frame type with a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) size, a guard interval length and a pilot pattern, and

wherein when two adjacent signal frames having different frame types are multiplexed in the broadcast signals, a preceding signal frame further includes a tail edge OFDM symbol being positioned at an end of the preceding signal frame.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbol in the preamble include different data in the frequency domain, respectively.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein pilots of the tail edge OFDM symbol are denser than pilots of the data OFDM symbols.

4. An apparatus for transmitting broadcast signals, the apparatus comprising:

an encoder to encode service data corresponding to each of a plurality of data transmission paths;

a frame builder to build signal frames including data symbols for the encoded service data;

a modulator to modulate the signal frames by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) scheme to convert the data symbols to data OFDM symbols;

an inserter to insert a preamble positioned at a start of the OFDM modulated signal frames in a time domain;

wherein the preamble contains a first OFDM symbol and a second OFDM symbol,

wherein each OFDM symbol in the preamble is generated by multiplying a sequence corresponding to signaling information with a different sequence, subcarrier allocating the multiplied sequence and Inverse Fast Fourier Transforming (IFFT) the allocated sequence,

wherein the first OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbol in the preamble include information for an emergency alert; and

a transmitter to transmit the broadcast signals carrying the modulated signal frames having the preamble,

wherein each signal frame is assigned to a frame type with a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) size, a guard interval length and a pilot pattern, and

wherein when two adjacent signal frames having different frame types are multiplexed in the broadcast signals, a preceding signal frame further includes a tail edge OFDM symbol being positioned at an end of the preceding signal frame.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 ,

wherein the first OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbol in the preamble include different data in the frequency domain, respectively.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein pilots of the tail edge OFDM symbol are denser than pilots of the data OFDM symbols.
