Abstract:
1. A method of processing broadcast data in a broadcast transmitter, the method comprising: performing, by a Reed Solomon (RS) encoder, RS encoding and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) encoding on mobile service data in order to generate an RS frame belonging to an ensemble, the ensemble including signaling information data describing rating information of the mobile service data; mapping data of the RS frame into a plurality of groups, wherein each of the plurality of groups includes a portion of data included in the RS frame, a plurality of known data sequences, fast information channel (FIC) data, and transmission parameter channel (TPC) data, wherein the FIC data includes information for rapid mobile service acquisition, and wherein the TPC data includes FIC version information for indicating an update of the FIC data; and transmitting a broadcast signal including the plurality of groups, wherein the FIC data and the TPC data are positioned between a first known data sequence and a second known data sequence among the plurality of known data sequences with each group.
