Patent ID: 8561119

Claim:
A method of processing broadcast data in a broadcast transmitting system, the method comprising: performing Reed-Solomon (RS) encoding and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) encoding on mobile service data bytes to generate an RS frame, wherein the RS frame comprises an RS frame payload including the mobile service data bytes, RS parity data bytes added at bottom ends of columns of the RS frame payload and CRC data bytes added at right ends of rows of the RS frame payload having the RS parity data bytes; dividing the RS frame into a plurality of portions, wherein each of the plurality of portions has an equal size of data bytes; converting the data bytes of the plurality of portions into data bits; encoding each of the data bits at a code rate of 1/H to output data symbols, wherein H is greater than 1; first interleaving the data symbols; converting the first interleaved data symbols into data bytes; multiplexing, by a multiplexer, mobile service data packets including mobile service data corresponding to the data bytes converted from the first interleaved data symbols with main service data packets including main service data; and second interleaving, by an interleaver, data of the multiplexed data packets to output data groups, wherein each of the data groups has first, second, and third regions, the first and third regions including main service data and mobile service data, the second region being positioned between the first and third regions and including mobile service data, known data sequences, and signaling information but no main service data, wherein at least two of the known data sequences are spaced 16 segments apart, and wherein the signaling information includes information indicating a number of the RS parity data bytes added at bottom ends of columns of the RS frame payload.
