Patent ID: 8302133

Claim:
A method of processing broadcast data in a broadcast receiver, the method comprising: receiving a transmission frame including a plurality of sub-frames, the transmission frame comprising mobile service data, a first signaling information table including access information of the mobile service data, a plurality of known data sequences, transmission parameter channel (TPC data) and fast information channel (FIC) segments delivered through an FIC; demodulating the received transmission frame; decoding the FIC segments and the TPC data of the demodulated transmission frame, wherein the FIC segments are deinterleaved on a sub-frame basis, wherein the FIC segments include information for rapid mobile service acquisition, wherein the TPC data include FIC version information and information indicating a current sub-frame number within the transmission frame, and wherein one of the FIC segments and the TPC data are positioned between a first known data sequence and a second known data sequence among the plurality of known data sequences; wherein each of the FIC segments comprises a 35-byte segment payload and a 2-byte segment header including error indication information; building a Reed Solomon (RS) frame including the mobile service data of the demodulated transmission frame, the RS frame belonging to an ensemble including the first signaling information table; extracting the first signaling information table from the ensemble; and obtaining an IP datagram of the mobile service data using the first signaling information table.
