## Abstract

A method and an apparatus for transmitting broadcast signals thereof are disclosed. The apparatus for receiving broadcast signals, the apparatus comprises a receiver to receive the broadcast signals, a demodulator to demodulate the received broadcast signals by an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) scheme, a frame parser to parse a signal frame from the demodulated broadcast signals, wherein the signal frame includes at least one service data, a time deinterleaver to time deinterleave each the service data, wherein the time deinterleaving is performed depending on a number of physical paths for each the service data, a damapper to demap the time deinterleaved data and a decoder to decode the demapped service data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for receiving a broadcast signal, the method comprising:
receiving a broadcast signal;
demodulating the received broadcast signal;
time deinterleaving PLP (Physical Layer Pipe) data in the demodulated broadcast signal based on a hybrid time interleaving mode, the time deinterleaving including
block deinterleaving one or more FEC (Forward Error Correction) blocks in PLP data in the demodulated broadcast signal based on the hybrid time interleaving mode, the one or more FEC blocks are deinterleaved based on a TI (Time Interleaving) block and a memory for the TI block, the memory including position information for one or more virtual FEC blocks,
cell deinterleaving each FEC block of the one or more FEC blocks by writing the FEC block randomly into the memory based on a permutation sequence and reading the FEC block linearly, the permutation sequence is shifted by applying a shift value to a base permutation sequence for deinterleaving a subsequent one of the FEC block,
wherein the broadcast signal includes information for representing a number of the one or more FEC blocks; and
decoding the time deinterleaved PLP data.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1,
wherein the broadcast signal includes signaling information for representing the hybrid time interleaving mode.

### Claim 3

An apparatus for receiving broadcast signals, the apparatus comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a broadcast signal;
a demodulator configured to demodulate the received broadcast signal;
a time deinterleaver configured to time deinterleave PLP (Physical Layer Pipe) data in the demodulated broadcast signal based on a hybrid time interleaving mode, the time deinterleaving is performed by
block deinterleaving one or more FEC (Forward Error Correction) blocks in PLP data in the demodulated broadcast signal based on the hybrid time interleaving mode, the one or more FEC blocks are deinterleaved based on a TI (Time Interleaving) block and a memory for the TI block, the memory including position information for one or more virtual FEC blocks,
cell deinterleaving each FEC block of the one or more FEC blocks by writing the FEC block randomly into the memory based on a permutation sequence and reading the FEC block linearly, the permutation sequence is shifted by applying a shift value to a base permutation sequence for deinterleaving a subsequent one of the FEC block,
wherein the broadcast signal includes information for representing a number of the one or more FEC blocks; and
a decoder configured to decode the time deinterleaved PLP data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the broadcast signal includes signaling information for representing the hybrid time interleaving mode.
