Abstract:
A receiver for digital broadcasting comprising:RF circuitry configured to simultaneously receive a plurality of digital broadcasting waves, wherein each digital broadcasting wave carries a data structure including the same program content, but arranged in a different interleaving manner with respect to one another; a plurality of demodulators configured to demodulate the plurality of digital broadcasting waves; a plurality of de-interleave circuits, each of the plurality of de-interleave circuits configured to rearrange data sequences that are output from a respective one of the plurality of demodulators; a selector coupled with the plurality of interleave circuits and selecting one of the rearranged data sequences that are output from the plurality of de-interleave circuits; and a controller that determines an order of selection by the selector, wherein one of the plurality of digital broadcastings waves requiring a relatively shorter time period for de-interleaving its respective data sequence is first selected when the receiver starts a receiving activity.
