Abstract:
1. A digital television (DTV) transmitting system for processing broadcast data, the DTV transmitting system comprising: a randomizer randomizing enhanced data; a Reed-Solomon (RS) frame encoder generating an RS frame by RS encoding an RS frame payload with an RS code of (187+P, 187) and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)-encoding the RS-encoded RS frame payload, wherein the RS frame comprises (187×N) bytes including the randomized enhanced data, P bytes of RS parity data added at a bottom of each column of the (187×N) bytes and 2 bytes of CRC data added at a right end of each row of the ((187+P)×N) bytes, wherein P and N are greater than 1; a block processor encoding the data in the RS frame at a coding rate of 1/N1, wherein N1 is an integer greater than 1; a group formatting unit mapping a portion of the data encoded at the coding rate of 1/N1 into a data group, wherein the group formatting unit adds known data sequences, main data place holders, moving picture experts group (MPEG) header place holders, and RS parity data place holders to the data group, and wherein at least two of the known data sequences are spaced 16 segments apart; a deinterleaver deinterleaving data of the data group; a packet formatter removing the main data place holders and the RS parity data place holders in the deinterleaved data group and replacing the MPEG header place holders in the deinterleaved data group with MPEG headers having a packet identifier, in order to output enhanced data packets; and a trellis encoding unit trellis encoding data of the enhanced data packets, the trellis encoding unit including at least one memory initialized at each start of the known data sequences.
