Patent ID: 7624418

Claim:
A method for receiving broadcasting data in a receiver of a digital broadcasting system supporting time slicing, the method comprising: detecting in a section header extractor section headers carrying broadcasting service information from a received Transport Stream (TS) packet and extracting delta-t information from the section headers; counting in a time slicing processor the number of extracted delta-t information; comparing in the time slicing processor the counted number of delta-t information with a predetermined delta-t lock number; when the counted number is less than the predetermined delta-t lock number, counting in the time slicing processor a start time of a next burst duration based on the delta-t information; when the counted number is less than the predetermined delta-t lock number, checking in the time slicing processor if the delta-t information is delta-t information that is first input after the start of the burst duration; when the delta-t information is a first input delta-t information, counting in the time slicing processor the time indicated by the delta-t information; when the delta-t information is not the first input delta-t information, checking in the time slicing processor validity of the delta-t information; and counting in the time slicing processor a time indicated by valid delta-t information after checking the validity.
