1. A reception apparatus comprising:
receiver circuitry configured to receive a broadcast signal, the broadcast signal including a flag, the flag indicating a presence or absence of first signaling data in the broadcast signal; and
control circuitry configured to:
detect the flag;
acquire the first signaling data from the broadcast signal, the first signaling data being transmitted in a first protocol layer of an Internet Protocol (IP) transmission system, the first signaling data including information indicating a location of second signaling data in the broadcast signal;
acquire the second signaling data from the broadcast signal based on the information included in the first signaling data, the second signaling data being transmitted in a second protocol layer of the IP transmission system, the first protocol layer being lower than the second protocol layer in a hierarchy of protocol of the IP transmission system; and
control an operation of the reception apparatus according to the first signaling data and the second signaling data.
