Patent ID: 7995669

Claim:
A digital television (DTV) receiver comprising: a tuner for receiving a broadcast signal including enhanced data and known data sequences; a known data detector for detecting position information of the known data sequences from the received broadcast signal; an equalizer for compensating a channel distortion of the broadcast signal based on at least one of the detected position information of the known data sequences; a first decoder for first decoding the channel-distortion-compensated broadcast signal; a second decoder for second decoding enhanced data in the first-decoded broadcast signal; and a derandomizer for derandomizing the second-decoded enhanced data, wherein the enhanced data included in the received broadcast signal are generated in a broadcast transmitter by: convolutional encoding original enhanced data at a coding rate of 1/N, wherein N is greater than 1, deinterleaving the convolutional encoded original enhanced data, Reed Solomon (RS) encoding the deinterleaved original enhanced data, interleaving the RS-encoded original enhanced data, and trellis encoding, by a trellis encoder, the interleaved original enhanced data, wherein memories in the trellis encoder are initialized by initialization data at a start of at least one known data sequence, and wherein the initialization data are determined based on values of the memories.
