Patent ID: 8175196

Claim:
A broadcast receiver for processing a broadcast signal, the broadcast receiver comprising: a tuner for receiving the broadcast signal comprising enhanced data and known data sequences, wherein the broadcast signal is processed in a broadcast transmitter by: randomizing enhanced data, generating a Reed-Solomon (RS) frame including the randomized enhanced data, encoding data in the RS frame at a coding rate of 1/H, wherein H is greater than 1, mapping a portion of the encoded data into a data group, adding the known data sequences to the data group and inserting MPEG header place holders into the data group, wherein the data group includes a plurality of regions, and a specific region of the plurality of regions includes the known data sequences, replacing the MPEG header place holders with MPEG header data and outputting enhanced data packets, and randomizing the MPEG header data in the enhanced data packets; a detector for detecting at least one of the known data sequences included in the specific region of the data group; an equalizer for compensating a channel distortion in the received broadcast signal using the at least one of the known data sequences to generate a channel distortion compensated broadcast signal; and a decoder for decoding the enhanced data in the channel distortion compensated broadcast signal, wherein the RS frame comprises: ‘187×N’ bytes including the randomized enhanced data; P bytes of RS parity data added to a bottom of each column of the ‘187×N’ bytes; and 2 bytes of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) checksum data added to a right end of each row of the ‘(187+P)×N’ bytes, wherein both P and N are greater than 1.
