Abstract

A DTV transmitting system includes an encoder, a randomizer, a block processor, a group formatter, a deinterleaver, and a packet formatter. The encoder codes enhanced data for error correction, permutes the coded data, and further codes the permuted data for error detection. The randomizer randomizes the coded enhanced data, and the block processor codes the randomized data at an effective coding rate of 1/H. The group formatter forms a group of enhanced data having data regions, and inserts the coded enhanced data into at least one of the data regions. The deinterleaver deinterleaves the group of enhanced data, and the packet formatter formats the deinterleaved data into corresponding data bytes.

Claims (27)

1. A receiving system, comprising:

a signal receiving unit for receiving a broadcast signal comprising a data group having a plurality of regions, wherein at least one region of the plurality of regions includes first mobile data encoded at a 1/2 code rate, and wherein at least another region of the plurality of regions includes second mobile data encoded at a 1/4 code rate;

a demodulating unit for demodulating the received broadcast signal;

a first-decoder for performing block decoding on the first and second mobile data in the demodulated broadcast signal; and

a second-decoder for performing error-correction decoding on a Reed-Solomon (RS) frame that comprises at least two packets including the block-decoded first and second mobile data, RS parity data generated based on the at least two packets and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) data generated based on the at least two packets and the RS parity data,

wherein:

the data group includes a plurality of known data sequences and signaling information;

at least two of the plurality of known data sequences have different lengths; and

the signaling information includes information related to the data group.

2. The receiving system of claim 1 , wherein the second-decoder builds the RS frame including the block-decoded first and second mobile data and corrects errors generated in the block-decoded first and second mobile data by performing CRC decoding and RS decoding on the RS frame.

3. The receiving system of claim 1 , wherein the signal receiving unit receives data of the data group by turning power on or off based on the signaling information.

4. The receiving system of claim 1 , further comprising an equalizer for compensating for channel distortion using at least one of the plurality of known data sequences.

5. A method of processing broadcast data in a receiving system, the method comprising:

receiving a broadcast signal comprising a data group having a plurality of regions, wherein at least one region of the plurality of regions includes first mobile data encoded at a 1/2 code rate and wherein at least another region of the plurality of regions includes second mobile data encoded at a 1/4 code rate;

demodulating the received broadcast signal;

performing block decoding on the first and second mobile data in the demodulated broadcast signal; and

performing error-correction decoding on a Reed-Solomon (RS) frame that comprises at least two packets including the block-decoded first and second mobile data, RS parity data generated based on the at least two packets and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) data generated based on the at least two packets and the RS parity data,

wherein:

the data group includes a plurality of known data sequences and signaling information;

at least two of the plurality of known data sequences have different lengths; and

the signaling information includes information related to the data group.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein performing the error-correction decoding comprises:

building the RS frame based on the block-decoded first and second mobile data; and

correcting errors of the block-decoded first and second mobile data by performing CRC decoding and RS decoding on the RS frame.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein receiving the broadcast signal comprises receiving data of the data group by turning power on or off based on the signaling information.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the signaling information further includes multiplex information.

9. The method of claim 5 , further comprising compensating for channel distortion using at least one of the plurality of known data sequences.
