Patent ID: 8054906

Claim:
A receiving system comprising: a tuner for receiving a broadcast signal having data groups, wherein each of the data groups includes mobile service data, known data sequences, fast information channel (FIC) data, and transmission parameter channel (TPC) data, wherein the FIC data includes binding information between a service of the mobile service data and an ensemble, wherein the ensemble carries a signaling information table and includes either a primary ensemble or a secondary ensemble; a demodulator for demodulating the received broadcast signal; a first decoder for decoding the FIC data and the TPC data from the demodulated broadcast signal; and a second decoder for decoding a Reed Solomon (RS) frame including the mobile service data and the signaling information table from the demodulated broadcast signal, wherein the RS frame includes a plurality of transport packets, wherein each of the plurality of transport packets includes a header and a payload, wherein the payload includes at least one Internet protocol (IP) datagram, wherein the header includes a pointer field indicating a start position of a new IP datagram in the payload, wherein the RS frame belongs to either the primary ensemble or the secondary ensemble, wherein the FIC data includes an ensemble identifier to identify the ensemble, and wherein the TPC data includes FIC version information for identifying an update of the FIC data.
