Broadcasting signal transmission apparatus, broadcasting signal reception apparatus, broadcasting signal transmission method, and broadcasting signal reception method

Abstract

The present invention proposes a method for transmitting a broadcasting signal. The method for transmitting a broadcasting signal according to the present invention proposes a system which can support a next generation broadcasting service in an environment that supports next generation hybrid broadcasting using a terrestrial broadcasting network and an Internet network. Further, in the environment that supports the next generation hybrid broadcasting, the present invention proposes an efficient signaling scheme which can cover both the terrestrial broadcasting network and the Internet network.
