Patent ID: 8199830

Claim:
A method of transmitting a broadcast signal, the method comprising: multiplexing mobile data and main data; and transmitting a transmission frame including the multiplexed mobile data and main data, wherein a parade of data groups is transmitted during slots within the transmission frame, the slots being time periods for the multiplexing of the mobile data and the main data, wherein each of the data groups includes the mobile data, signaling information and known data sequences, wherein the signaling information includes fast information channel (FIC) data having binding information between a service of the mobile data and an ensemble, and transmission parameter channel (TPC) data having a version of the FIC data, wherein the FIC data is divided into a plurality of FIC segments, wherein the plurality of FIC segments are interleaved within a sub-frame of the transmission frame, wherein each of the FIC segments including an FIC segment header is transmitted in each of the data groups, wherein the ensemble includes the service and a signaling table describing the service, wherein the mobile data belonging to the ensemble is Reed-Solomon (RS)-cyclic redundancy check (CRC) encoded through a 2-dimensional RS frame, and wherein a row of a payload of the RS frame includes a transport packet of the mobile data.
