METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING IN-BAND SIGNALING INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS BROADCASTING SYSTEM

摘要

A method is provided for transmitting in-band signaling information in a wireless broadcasting system that transmits broadcast service data through a plurality of data Physical Layer Pipes (PLPs) constituting a frame. Non-PLP signaling information is included in a data PLP for a particular broadcast service and the data PLP is transmitted through a current frame, when no data PLP for the particular broadcast service is transmitted in at least one frame to be transmitted within a maximum schedulable period NMAX from a time the current frame is transmitted. The non-PLP signaling information indicates that no data PLP for the particular broadcast service is transmitted within the maximum schedulable period.
