The present invention provides a method for transmitting a broadcasting signal. A method for transmitting a broadcasting signal according to the present invention suggests a system capable of supporting a next generation broadcasting service in an environment which supports a next generation hybrid broadcast using a terrestrial broadcast network and an internet network. Furthermore, in an environment which supports a next generation hybrid broadcast, suggested is an efficient signaling scheme which can embrace both a terrestrial broadcast network and an internet network.

A method for determining location of a premises is disclosed. The method includes measuring a signal strength of a plurality of communication signals received at the premises, obtaining data associated with a source of the signals, estimating a propagation loss for the received signal, determining a distance between a source of each of the signals and the premises based on the estimated propagation loss, and triangulating the location of the premises.

An electronic device and method for delivering content to legacy MPEG quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) set-top boxes (STBs) identifies a QAM channel from a bank of QAM modulator channels of the electronic device that has spare capacity to transmit a MPEG/QAM program stream for a program N, and a unique MPEG program number corresponding to the program N, joins an IP multicast from a broadband network that includes the program N, and sets up QAM modulation to send the program N on a target frequency corresponding to the identified QAM channel, transmits the target frequency to the STBs, and transmits the MPEG/QAM program stream for the program N to the STBs on the target frequency corresponding to the identified QAM channel.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for delivering video and audio to one or more user devices. A method includes obtaining a video signal and an audio signal that are synchronized in time. The method includes applying a first time delay, greater than a predetermined maximum amount of time delay, to the video signal and outputting the delayed video signal to a display device. The method includes generating a plurality of copies of the audio signal and applying a plurality of time delays to the copies of the audio signal. A different time delay is applied to each of the plurality of copies of the audio signal and each of the plurality of time delays is smaller than the first time delay. The method includes outputting the plurality of delayed copies of the audio signal for broadcast to one or more user devices over a wireless network.

The present invention provides an apparatus of transmitting broadcast signals, the apparatus including, an encoder for encoding service data, a frame builder for building at least one signal frame by mapping the encoded service data, a modulator for modulating data in the built at least one signal frame by an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM, scheme and a transmitter for transmitting the broadcast signals having the modulated data.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for configuring a control message in a broadcasting system for supporting a multimedia service based on an internet protocol. To this end, control information to be recorded in a payload of a control message to be configured is generated based on a table selected from among a plurality of tables for defining the information related to the generation and consumption of a hybrid content when a message type of the control message to be configured is determined to be a type for providing information related to the generation and consumption of a hybrid content. In addition, the information related to the type of the selected table is recorded in an optional field of the control message to be configured.

A method for transmitting media data in a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Media Transport (MMT) system is provided. The method includes receiving a Media Processing Unit (MPU) fragmented into one or more Media Fragment Units (MFUs), generating one or more multimedia data packets each including a packet header and a payload, based on the MPU, and transmitting the one or more multimedia data packets to a terminal. A payload header included in the payload includes identification information indicating an MPU to which at least one MPU included in the payload belongs, and a counter indicating the number of the at least one MPU.
