Patent ID: 8006271

Claim:
A method of processing broadcast data in a broadcast transmitter, the method comprising: performing, by a Reed Solomon (RS) encoder, RS encoding and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) encoding on mobile service data and a signaling information table including access information of the mobile service data and identification information identifying a stream where keys to decrypt the mobile service data are obtained, thereby forming an RS frame; dividing the RS frame into a plurality of groups, wherein each of the groups includes a portion of data included in the RS frame, a plurality of known data sequences, fast information channel (FIC) data, and transmission parameter channel (TPC) data, wherein the FIC data includes information for rapid mobile service acquisition, and wherein the TPC data includes FIC version information for indicating an update of the FIC data; and transmitting a broadcast signal including the plurality of groups, wherein a size of the RS frame is L (rows)×N (column size of the RS frame) bytes, each of the rows having an M-byte header leaving the rest of the row available for data, wherein the data in the rows are packed into the rows end-to-end, with possible wrapping around at the end of each row to the next row, and wherein L, M, and N are integers.
