METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING BROADCAST, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING BROADCAST

摘要

[Problem] It is hard to apply the A-VSB transport system to a mobile broa dcast. [Solution] Provided are a method and apparatus for transporting a bro adcast and a method and apparatus for receiving a broadcast. In the method o f transporting a broadcast service for mobile communications, the method inc ludes generating an encapsulation packet including configuration information adaptive to application data that is to be transmitted and the application data; generating transport packets having data regarding the encapsulation p acket by dividing the encapsulation packet into predetermined-sized packets, where the transport packets include information regarding the structures of the transport packets; and generating service configuration information inc luding information set about a channel having the transport packets, and inc luding the service configuration information in a service information channe l at a predetermined location from among at least one transport channel on a transport stream. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently use a data reg ion and increase the speed of data transmission.
