Patent ID: 8332723

Claim:
A method of processing broadcast data in a broadcast transmitter, the method comprising: performing, by a Reed Solomon (RS) frame encoder, RS encoding and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) encoding on mobile service data for a mobile service in order to generate an RS frame belonging to an ensemble; mapping a portion of the RS frame into at least one of a plurality of regions of a data group, the data group including known data sequences, a fast information channel (FIC) segment and transmission parameter channel (TPC) data; and transmitting a transmission frame including the data group, wherein an FIC chunk includes an FIC chunk header and an FIC chunk payload, wherein the FIC chunk payload includes a first ensemble identifier for identifying the ensemble and first identification information for identifying whether the mobile service is carried through more than one ensemble, wherein the FIC chunk is segmented into a plurality of FIC segment payloads and the FIC segment in the transmitted data group includes an FIC segment header and one of the plurality of FIC segment payloads, wherein the FIC segment header includes a number of the FIC segment and a number of a last FIC segment among FIC segments divided from the FIC chunk, and wherein the TPC data comprise FIC version information for indicating an update of the FIC chunk.
