Abstract
A broadcast signal transmitter is presented. The broadcast signal transmitter includes a Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoder configured to perform error correction processing on Physical Layer Pipe (PLP) data, a bit interleaver configured to bit-interleave the PLP data, a mapper configured to perform constellation mapping on the PLP data, a framer configured to generate a signal frame comprising the PLP data, and a waveform generator configured to generate a transmission signal comprising the signal frame. The signal frame of the transmission signal comprises a bootstrap, a preamble, and a data part. The bootstrap comprises preamble structure information about the preamble. The preamble comprises at least one preamble symbol. The at least preamble symbol carries Layer 1 (L1) signaling data for the signal frame. The first preamble symbol comprises preamble_symbol_number information, and the preamble_symbol_number information indicates a number of preamble symbols other than the first preamble symbol.
