Patent ID: 8752098

Claim:
A broadcast transmitter comprising: a Reed Solomon (RS) encoder for performing RS encoding and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) encoding on mobile service data to build at least primary RS frames belonging to a primary ensemble or secondary RS frames belonging to a secondary ensemble, wherein each of the built RS frames is mapped into data groups, wherein each of the data groups comprises 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 RS frame mode information for indicating a single frame mode or a dual frame mode; and transmitting means for transmitting a transmission frame containing a parade, the parade being a collection of the data groups, wherein the transmission frame is composed of a plurality of sub-frames, wherein the TPC data further includes information for indicating a current sub-frame number within the transmission frame, and wherein the parade carries one or two ensembles depending on the RS frame mode information.
