A transmitter is disclosed. The transmitter comprises: a baseband frame generation unit to generate a baseband frame including a baseband header, a data field, and a padding field; and a mapping unit to map a plurality of data streams to the data field, wherein the baseband frame generation unit inserts a padding length field, which indicates the number of bytes of the padding field, into the baseband frame and inserts a padding indicator field, which indicates information about the padding length field, into the baseband header. Therefore, since the length of the data field can be calculated based on the length of the padding field, the size of the baseband header can be reduced compared to a method of directly indicating the length of the data field. |
