Abstract:
A receiving system and a method of processing broadcast signal are disclosed herein. The receiving system includes N number of antennae, N number of demodulators, N number of known sequence detectors, and an equalizer. The N number of antennae each receives a broadcast signal including mobile service data and known data sequences. The N number of demodulators demodulates the broadcast signal received by the corresponding antenna. The N number of known sequence detectors detects known data sequences from the broadcast signal received by the corresponding antenna. The equalizer estimates a channel impulse response (CIR) of a broadcast signal received and demodulated by each antenna based upon each known data sequence detected by the N number of known sequence detectors, calculates an equalization coefficient of the broadcast signal received and demodulated by each antenna based upon at least one of the estimated CIRs, so as to compensate channel distortion of the broadcast signal received and demodulated by each antenna, and combines at least one or more distortion-compensated broadcast signal, thereby finally outputting the combined signal.
Abstract:
A digital television receiving system includes a first known data detector, a second known data detector, and a selector. The first known data detector detects a location of a first known data sequence in a broadcast signal by calculating a first correlation value between the broadcast signal and a first reference known data sequence. Similarly, the second known data detector detects a location of a second known data sequence in the broadcast signal by calculating a second correlation value between the broadcast signal and a second reference known data sequence. The selector selects the location information detected by one of the first and second known data detectors with a greater correlation value.
Abstract:
A digital television transmitter and a method of coding main and enhanced data in the digital television transmitter are disclosed. In the digital television transmitter, a byte-symbol converter converts main and enhanced data packets into symbols, wherein at least one of the enhanced data packets may include data place holders for known data symbols. A known data generator generates a known data symbol. A symbol processor processes a first symbol outputted from the byte-symbol converter. Herein, the symbol processor may post-decode a first bit of the known data symbol and output the post-decoded bit and an initialization data bit when the first symbol is a symbol representing one of the place holders. A trellis encoder has one or more memories for trellis-encoding a second symbol outputted from the symbol processor, wherein the memories are initialized when the initialization data bit is processed in the trellis encoder.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for processing digital broadcast signal are provided. The method for processing a broadcast signal includes forming a data group having mobile broadcast service data, where forming the data group includes mapping the mobile broadcast service data into corresponding locations of the data group, adding known data sequences and signaling data into the data group, inserting place holder bytes for MPEG header and non-systematic Reed-Solomon (RS) parity, and de-interleaving data of the data group having the mobile broadcast service data, known data sequences, signaling data and place holder bytes, and formatting mobile broadcast service data packets including the de-interleaved data of the data group, where formatting the mobile broadcast service data packets includes removing place holder bytes for the non-systematic RS parity, and replacing place holder bytes for the MPEG header with the MPEG header.

Abstract:
A transmitting system, a receiving system, and a method of processing broadcast signals are disclosed. Herein, the transmitting system includes an RS frame encoder, a block processor, a group formatter, and a trellis encoding module. The RS frame encoder performs error correction encoding on an RS frame payload including mobile service data so as to form an RS frame, divides the RS frame into a plurality of portions, and outputs the divided RS frame portions. The block processor performs one of ½-rate encoding and ¼-rate encoding on each bit of the mobile service data included in each portion. The group formatter maps a portion including symbols of the ¼-rate encoded mobile service data and symbols of the ½-rate encoded mobile service data to a corresponding region of a data group. And, the trellis encoding module performs trellis encoding on the symbols of the ¼-rate encoded mobile service data and the symbols of the ½-rate encoded mobile service data of the data group.
Abstract:
A DTV receiver includes a tuner, a demodulator, a known sequence detector, and a frequency domain equalizer. The tuner initially receives a broadcast signal including valid data in which a known data sequence is periodically repeated. The demodulator demodulates the broadcast signal, and the known sequence detector detects the known data sequence from the demodulated signal. The frequency domain equalizer compensates channel distortion of the demodulated broadcast signal in a frequency domain using the detected known data sequence. In addition, the DTV receiver may further include a time domain equalizer which compensates channel distortion of the time domain signal, or a noise canceller which removes a predicted noise from the time domain signal.

The method includes randomizing mobile service data; RS encoding and CRC encoding the randomized mobile service data to build an RS frame; dividing the built RS frame into L (L>1) number of portions and adding K bytes (K≧0) of dummy data to one of the portions; encoding data in the portions at a code rate of 1/H (H>1); first interleaving the encoded data; mapping the first interleaved data into data groups and adding known data sequences and transmission parameters to each of the data groups, deinterleaving data of the data groups; second interleaving the deinterleaved data; and transmitting a transmission frame including the second interleaved data.
Abstract:
A digital broadcast transmitting/receiving system and a method for processing data are disclosed. The method for processing data may enhance the receiving performance of the receiving system by performing additional coding and multiplexing processes on the traffic information data and transmitting the processed data. Thus, robustness is provided to the traffic information data, thereby enabling the data to respond strongly against the channel environment which is always under constant and vast change.

A DTV transmitter includes a pre-processor pre-processing enhanced data, a data formatter generating enhanced data packets including known data, a multiplexer multiplexing the enhanced data packets with main data packets, a data randomizer randomizing the multiplexed data packets, an RS encoder RS-encoding the randomized data packets, and a data interleaver interleaving the RS-coded data packets, where a plurality of known data sequences are included in the interleaved enhanced data packets. Finally, the DTV transmitter further includes an enhanced encoder which codes each block of enhanced data placed between any two of the known data sequences and bypasses the interleaved main data packets.
