Abstract:
1. A digital broadcast transmitter comprising: a group formatter configured to map mobile service data bytes into a first data group and to insert place holder bytes for main service data and non-systematic Reed-Solomon (RS) parity into the first data group, wherein the first data group includes a plurality of segments, an Nth segment in the first data group having M mobile service data bytes, an (N−1)th segment in the first data group having L mobile service data bytes, an (N−2)th segment in the first data group having K mobile service data bytes, a Pth segment in the first data group having Q mobile service data bytes, a (P+1)th segment in the first data group having R mobile service data bytes, and a (P+2)th segment in the first data group having S mobile service data bytes, wherein K<L<M, wherein Q>R>S, and wherein N<P; a deinterleaver configured to deinterleave the mobile service data bytes in the first data group to output a second data group; a packet formatter configured to remove the place holder bytes for the main service data and the RS parity in the second data group and to output mobile service data packets including mobile service data corresponding to the deinterleaved mobile service data bytes in the second data group; a first multiplexer configured to multiplex the mobile service data packets output by the packet formatter with main service data packets having the main service data; and a post-processor configured to post-process the multiplexed data packets.
