Abstract

A method for transmitting broadcast signals, includes encapsulating input packets including Internet Protocol (IP) packets or Transport Stream (TS) packets into link layer packets in a link layer, each header of the link layer packets including packet type information representing a type of the input packets in a payload of each link layer packet and payload configuration information representing a configuration of the payload of each link layer packet, wherein for a first link layer packet including a single packet, the payload configuration information of the header in the first link layer packet has a value representing that the first link layer packet carries the single packet, the header further includes header mode information representing a length related to the first link layer packet.

Claims (54)

1. A method for transmitting broadcast signals, the method comprising:

encapsulating input packets including Internet Protocol (IP) packets or Transport Stream (TS) packets into link layer packets in a link layer,

each header of the link layer packets including packet type information representing a type of the input packets in a payload of each link layer packet and payload configuration information representing a configuration of the payload of each link layer packet,

for a first link layer packet including a single packet, the payload configuration information of the header in the first link layer packet has a value representing that the first link layer packet carries the single packet,

the header further includes header mode information representing a length related to the first link layer packet,

for a second link layer packet including a segmented packet, the header further includes S/C (segmentation/concatenation) information having a value representing that the second link layer packet carries the segmented packet,

the header further includes sequence number information for the segmented packet,

for a third link layer packet including a concatenated packet,

the header further includes S/C (segmentation/concatenation) information having a value representing that the third link layer packet carries the concatenated packet,

the header further includes count information representing a number of packets carried by the third link layer packet; and

transmitting a broadcast signal including the link layer packets including the first link layer packet, the second link layer packet, and the third link layer packet.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the header includes base header information and additional header information.

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

an encapsulator configured to encapsulate input packets including Internet Protocol (IP) packets or Transport Stream (TS) packets into link layer packets in a link layer,

each header of the link layer packets including packet type information representing a type of the input packets in a payload of each link layer packet and payload configuration information representing a configuration of the payload of each link layer packet,

for a first link layer packet including a single packet,

the payload configuration information of the header in the first link layer packet has a value representing that the first link layer packet carries the single packet,

the header further includes header mode information representing a length related to the first link layer packet,

for a second link layer packet including a segmented packet,

the header further includes S/C (segmentation/concatenation) information having a value representing that the second link layer packet carries the segmented packet,

the header further includes sequence number information for the segmented packet,

for a third link layer packet including a concatenated packet,

the header further includes S/C (segmentation/concatenation) information having a value representing that the third link layer packet carries the concatenated packet,

the header further includes count information representing a number of packets carried by the third link layer packet; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a broadcast signal including the link layer packets including the first link layer packet, the second link layer packet, and the third link layer packet.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the header includes base header information and additional header information.

5. A method for receiving broadcast signals, the method comprising:

receiving broadcast signals;

decapsulating link layer packets in the broadcast signals,

each header of the link layer packets including packet type information representing a type of the input packets in a payload of each link layer packet and payload configuration information representing a configuration of the payload of each link layer packet,

for a first link layer packet including a single packet, the payload configuration information of the header in the first link layer packet has a value representing that the first link layer packet carries the single packet,

the header further includes header mode information representing a length related to the first link layer packet,

for a second link layer packet including a segmented packet, the header further includes S/C (segmentation/concatenation) information having a value representing that the second link layer packet carries the segmented packet,

the header further includes sequence number information for the segmented packet,

for a third link layer packet including a concatenated packet, the header further includes S/C (segmentation/concatenation) information having a value representing that the third link layer packet carries the concatenated packet,

the header further includes count information representing a number of packets carried by the third link layer packet.

6. The method according to claim 5 ,

wherein the header includes base header information and additional header information.

7. An apparatus for receiving broadcast signals, the apparatus comprising:
