Patent ID: 8438451

Claim:
A digital television (DTV) receiving system for processing digital broadcast data, the DTV receiving system comprising: a tuner for receiving a broadcast signal, wherein the broadcast signal is generated in a DTV transmitting system by: randomizing enhanced data, Reed Solomon (RS)-cyclic redundancy check (CRC) encoding the randomized enhanced data, encoding the RS-CRC encoded enhanced data at a coding rate of 1/L, wherein L is greater than 1, RS-encoding the enhanced data encoded at the coding rate of 1/L, interleaving the RS-encoded enhanced data, thereby outputting a data group comprising a plurality of segments, wherein an ith segment in the data group comprises X bytes of enhanced data, wherein a jth segment in the data group comprises Y bytes of enhanced data, wherein a kth segment in the data group comprises Z bytes of enhanced data, and wherein k>j>i, X<Y, and Z<Y, and the variables i, X, Y, Z are integers greater than 0, trellis-encoding data in the data group, wherein at least one memory included in the trellis encoder is initialized at each start of known data sequences included in the data group, and modulating a broadcast signal including the trellis-encoded data; and a decoder for decoding the received broadcast signal.
