Patent ID: 8081713

Claim:
A method of processing digital broadcast data in a digital television (DTV) receiving system, the method comprising: receiving a broadcast signal from a DTV transmitter, the broadcast signal resulting from: generating a first data group comprising first, second and third regions, the second region being positioned between the first and third regions, the first and third regions including main data, RS parity data but no enhanced data, the second region including enhanced data coded with a first coding rate, enhanced data coded with a second coding rate that is different from the first coding rate, known data sequences, signaling information and RS parity data but no main data, interleaving the first data group to generate a second data group, the second data group comprising fourth, fifth and sixth regions, the fifth region being position between the fourth and sixth regions, the fifth region including enhanced data encoded with one of first and second coding rates, known data sequences, signaling information, and RS parity data but no main data, the fourth region including main data, RS parity data, and enhanced data, wherein enhanced data in at least one segment in the fourth region are coded with the first coding rate and enhanced data in at least one segment in the fourth region are coded with the second coding rate that is different from the first coding rate, and trellis encoding the second data group; compensating channel distortion of the broadcast signal using the known data sequences; and decoding the equalized broadcast signal.
