Abstract:
1. A digital broadcast receiver, comprising: a tuner configured to receive a digital television (DTV) signal comprising a first data group that includes mobile service data, wherein the DTV signal has been processed by generating the first data group by interleaving a second data group by a DTV transmitter, the first data group having first and second segments, the first segments having first known data sequences, the second segments having second known data sequences, a number of data bytes for one of the first known data sequences being different from a number of data bytes for one of the second known data sequences, wherein all of the first known data sequences have the same number of data bytes, M second segments being positioned between a Nth first segment and a (N+k)th first segment, and L second segments being positioned between the (N+k)th first segment and a (N+k+i)th first segment, wherein M, L, N, k and i are natural numbers, and M≠L, wherein at least two of the first known data sequences are spaced 16 segments apart, and wherein at least two of the second known data sequences are space 16 segments apart; a demodulator configured to demodulate the DTV signal; and a decoder configured to decode the demodulated DTV signal.
