Patent ID: 8320498

Claim:
A digital television (DTV) transmitting system for processing digital broadcast data, the DTV transmitting system comprising: a block processor for encoding enhanced data at a code rate of 1/H, wherein H is greater than 1; a group formatting unit for: mapping the encoded enhanced data into data groups; adding known data sequences, signaling information, place holders for first non-systematic Reed-Solomon (RS) parity and MPEG header data place holders to each of the data groups; and deinterleaving data in the data groups; a packet formatter for removing the place holders for the first non-systematic RS parity in the data groups in which data is deinterleaved and replacing the MPEG header data place holders with MPEG header data in the data groups in which data is deinterleaved in order to output enhanced data packets; a first RS encoder for performing a first non-systematic RS encoding for first data when the first data corresponds to the enhanced data packets and performing a systematic RS encoding for second data when the second data corresponds to main data packets; an interleaver for interleaving the first data corresponding to the enhanced data packets or the second data corresponding to the main data packets; a trellis encoder for trellis encoding the interleaved first data or the interleaved second data, wherein the trellis encoder includes at least one memory that is initialized at a start of each of the known data sequences; and a second RS encoder for performing a second non-systematic RS encoding for data changed during the initialization of the at least one memory in order to output second non-systematic RS parity.
