Abstract

An apparatus and method for broadcast signal frame using a bootstrap and a preamble are disclosed. An apparatus for generating broadcast signal frame according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a time interleaver configured to generate a time-interleaved signal by performing interleaving on a BICM output signal; and a frame builder configured to generate a broadcast signal frame including a bootstrap and a preamble using the time-interleaved signal.

Claims (14)

1. A method of generating a broad signal frame, comprising:

generating a time-interleaved signal by performing interleaving on a BICM (Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation) output signal; and

generating a broadcast signal frame including a bootstrap and a preamble using the time-interleaved signal,

wherein the preamble includes L1-Basic and L1-Detail, and the bootstrap includes a symbol representing a structure of the L1-Basic,

wherein the symbol corresponds to a fixed-length bit string signaling a signaling protection mode of the L1-Basic along with OFDM parameters of the L1-Basic,

wherein the signaling protection mode includes

a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode for identifying QPSK modulation and a code rate of 3/15,

a fourth mode for identifying 16-NUC (Non Uniform Constellation) and a code rate of 3/15, and

a fifth mode for identifying 64-NUC (Non Uniform Constellation) and a code rate of 3/15,

wherein the first mode corresponds to a mode in which parity repetition is performed, and the second mode and the third mode correspond to a mode in which the parity repetition is not performed, and

wherein a parity puncturing size of the second mode is larger than a parity puncturing size of the first mode and smaller than a parity puncturing size of the third mode.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode use the same constellation and code rate, and correspond to various modes on the parity repetition and parity puncturing sizes for different robustness.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the symbol corresponds to a lookup table in which a preamble structure corresponding to a first guard interval length is allocated prior to a preamble structure corresponding to a second guard interval length, and the first guard interval length is shorter than the second guard interval length when the FFT sizes corresponding to the OFDM parameters are the same.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the symbol corresponds to the lookup table in which the first mode, the second mode, the third mode, the fourth mode, and the fifth mode are allocated in an order of robustness for a same combination of an FFT size, a guard interval length, and a pilot pattern.
