Abstract

The present invention provides a method for transmitting a broadcast signal. The method for transmitting the broadcast signal according to the present invention may comprise the steps of: formatting input streams into multiple data pipes (DPs); encoding data of the multiple DPs according to a code rate for each DP; generating at least one signal frame by mapping the encoded data of the multiple DPs; and modulating data of the generated signal frame in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme, and transmitting the broadcast signal including data of the modulated signal frame.

Claims (58)

column-wise writing the cell interleaved data or the mapped data into a memory; and

diagonal-wise reading the written data from the memory.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

frequency-interleaving data in the generated at least one signal frame based on a symbol pair.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the constellations are quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations or non-uniform QAM (NU-QAM) constellations having a maximum capacity of the DP.

decoding the bit-deinterleaved data.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the block deinterleaving further comprises:

diagonal-wise writing the data into a memory; and
