Abstract

A method of processing a broadcast signal includes physical layer processing a plurality of packets into a plurality of data pipes to form a signal frame of the broadcast signal. Further, a packet includes an emergency alert message for an emergency alert service so that a data pipe carries the emergency alert massage, the emergency alert message including a message identifier (ID) for identifying the emergency alert message and a service ID identifying a service related to the emergency alert message. The physical layer processing further includes encoding data in each data pipe; bit interleaving the encoded data in each data pipe; and time interleaving the bit interleaved data in each data pipe according to a first mode or a second mode, the first mode represents that the time interleaving is performed based on convolutional interleaving operation, the second mode represents that the time interleaving is performed based on a combination of block interleaving operation and convolutional interleaving operation; and transmitting the broadcast signal. In addition, the broadcast signal further includes physical layer signaling information, the physical layer signaling information including a signaling information representing that the data pipe carries the emergency alert message and time interleaving signaling information related to the first mode and the second mode.
