Abstract

An apparatus and method for transmitting digital broadcast signal are provided. The apparatus includes a group formatter to format a data group including mobile service data, where the group formatter further maps the mobile service data into a data group of interleaved format, adds N training sequences into a corresponding location of the data group of interleaved format, adds signaling data into the data group of interleaved format, inserts place holder bytes for MPEG header and non-systematic Reed-Solomon (RS) parity into the data group of interleaved format, and deinterleaves the mobile service data in the data group of interleaved format, a non-systematic RS encoder to non-systematic RS encode the mobile service data in the formatted data group and insert non-systematic RS parity obtained from the non-systematic RS encoding into the formatted data group.

Claims (32)

1. A method for processing a digital broadcast signal at a transmitter, the method comprising:

formatting the data group including mobile service data, wherein formatting the data group comprises:

mapping the mobile service data into a data group;

adding training sequences into corresponding locations of the data group, wherein at least 5 of the training sequences are spaced M segments apart in the data group, wherein at least 1 of the training sequences is inserted between a first training sequence and a second training sequence of the at least 5 training sequences, and wherein M is an integer;

adding signaling data into the data group, wherein the signaling data are added between the first training sequence of the at least 5 training sequences and the at least 1 of the training sequences;

inserting place holder bytes for MPEG header and non-systematic Reed-Solomon (RS) parity into the data group; and

deinterleaving data in the data group;

non-systematic RS encoding the mobile service data in the formatted data group to insert the non-systematic RS parity into locations where the place holder bytes for the non-systematic RS parity were inserted in the formatted data group; and

transmitting a digital broadcast signal including the non-systematic RS-encoded mobile service data.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

Interleaving the non-systematic RS encoded mobile service data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least 1 of the training sequences in the digital broadcast signal has a first K-symbol sequence and a second L-symbol sequence;

K is identical to L; and

the first K-symbol sequence and the second L-symbol sequence have a same data pattern.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least 5 of the training sequences in the digital broadcast signal have a same data pattern in common.

5. An apparatus for transmitting a digital broadcast signal, the apparatus comprising:

a group formatter configured to format a data group including mobile service data, wherein the group formatter is further configured to:

map the mobile service data into a data group;

add N training sequences into corresponding locations of the data group, wherein at least 5 of the training sequences are spaced M segments apart in the data group, wherein at least 1 of the training sequences is inserted between a first training sequence and a second training sequence of the at least 5 training sequences, and wherein M is an integer;

add signaling data into the data group, wherein the signaling data are added between the first training sequence of the at least 5 training sequences and the at least 1 of the training sequences;

insert place holder bytes for MPEG header and non-systematic Reed-Solomon (RS) parity into the data group; and

deinterleave data in the data group;

a non-systematic RS encoder configured to non-systematic RS encode the mobile service data in the formatted data group and to insert the non-systematic RS parity into locations where the place holder bytes for the non-systematic RS parity were inserted in the formatted data group; and

a transmission unit configured to transmit a digital broadcast signal including the non-systematic RS-encoded mobile service data.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising:

a data interleaver configured to Interleave the non-systematic RS encoded mobile service data.

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein:

the at least 1 of the training sequences in the digital broadcast signal has a first K-symbol sequence and a second L-symbol sequence;

K is identical to L; and

the first K-symbol sequence and the second L-symbol sequence have a same data pattern.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the at least 5 of the training sequences in the digital broadcast signal have a same data pattern in common.
