Abstract

A digital broadcast system and method of processing digital data is disclosed, including a digital broadcast transmitter and digital broadcast receiver and methods thereof.

Claims (14)

1. A digital broadcast transmitter, comprising:

a pre-processor configured to pre-process mobile service data, the mobile service data being included in a first data group, wherein the pre-processor is further configured to de-interleave the first data group to output a second data group, the first data group having first and second segments, the first segments having first known data, the second segments having second known data, the number of data bytes for the first known data being different from the number of data bytes for the second known data, M second segments being positioned between an Nth first segment and an (N+k)th first segment, L second segments being positioned between the (N+k)th first segment and (N+k+i)th first segment, wherein M, L, N, k and i are natural numbers, M≠L, and each packet in the second data group has a length of 207 bytes; and

a multiplexer configured to multiplex mobile service data packets having the mobile service data with main service data packets having main service data.

2. A digital broadcast receiver, comprising:

a tuner configured to receive a DTV signal comprising main service data and mobile service data multiplexed with the main service data, wherein the DTV signal results from generating a second data group by de-interleaving a first data group by a DTV transmitter, the first data group having first and second segments, the first segments having first known data, the second segments having second known data, the number of data bytes for the first data being different from the number of data bytes for the second data, M second segments being positioned between an Nth first segment and an (N+k)th first segment, L second segments being positioned between the (N+k)th first segment and (N+k+i)th first segment, wherein M, L, N, k and i are natural numbers, M≠L, and each packet in the second data group has a length of 207 bytes;

a demodulator configured to demodulate the DTV signal; and

a decoder configured to decode the demodulated DTV signal.

3. A method of processing a DTV signal in a digital broadcast transmitter, comprising:

pre-processing mobile service data, the mobile service data being included in a first data group, wherein a second data group is generated from de-interleaving the first data group, the first data group having first and second segments, the first segments having first known data, the second segments having second known data, the number of data bytes for the first known data being different from the number of data bytes for the second known data, M second segments being positioned between an Nth first segment and an (N+k)th first segment, L second segments being positioned between the (N+k)th first segment and (N+k+i)th first segment, wherein M, L, N, k and i are natural numbers, M#L, and each packet in the second data group has a length of 207 bytes; and

multiplexing mobile service data packets having the mobile service data with main service data packets having main service data.

4. A method of processing a DTV signal in a digital broadcast receiver, comprising:

receiving a DTV signal comprising main service data and mobile service data multiplexed with the main service data, wherein the DTV signal results from generating a second data group by de-interleaving a first data group by a DTV transmitter, the first data group having first and second segments, the first segments having first known data, the second segments having second known data, the number of data bytes for the first known data being different from the number of data bytes for the second known data, M second segments being positioned between an Nth first segment and an (N+k)th first segment, L second segments being positioned between the (N+k)th first segment and (N+k+i)th first segment, wherein M, L, N, k and i are natural numbers, M≠L, and each packet in the second data group has a length of 207 bytes;

demodulating the DTV signal; and

decoding the demodulated DTV signal.
