Abstract:
A BS digital broadcasting receiver for receiving a data signal consisting of a plurality of superframes each consisting of a plurality of frames each consisting of a plurality of slots each of which comprises a portion of a transmission and multiplexing configuration control (TMCC) signal, a main signal added with error correction data based upon a first Reed-Solomon code, and a burst symbol signal, the TMCC signal comprising a set of portions of the TMCC signal over one superframe with error correction data based upon a second Reed-Solomon code being added, both the first and second Reed-Solomon codes being reduction versions of a basic Reed-Solomon code, the BS digital broadcasting receiver comprising:demodulating means for demodulating the data signal; separating means for separating the data signal demodulated by the demodulating means into the main signal and the TMCC signal; removing means for removing the burst symbol signal when deinterleaving the main signal separated by the separating means; adding means for adding the TMCC signal separated by the separating means after the main signal of a last frame in the superframe; and a Reed-Solomon code decoder for decoding the data signal with the separated TMCC signal added by the adding means after the main signal of a last frame in the superframe by using the basic Reed-Solomon code to error-correct the main signal and the TMCC signal.
