Abstract

A method of processing data in a receiving system, the method includes receiving a broadcast signal including a plurality of data groups that include broadcast data and first parity data; demodulating the received broadcast signal; performing first decoding on the broadcast data in a frame based on the first parity data for error correction, wherein the frame is formed based on the plurality of data groups in the demodulated broadcast signal and wherein the plurality of groups have a same size; and de-randomizing the first decoded broadcast data, wherein second decoding on the broadcast data in the frame is selectively performed, wherein the broadcast signal further includes signaling information that contains a transmission parameter to indicate whether second encoding was performed on the broadcast data in a transmitting system, wherein, when the transmission parameter indicates that the second encoding was performed on the broadcast data.

Claims

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

receiving a broadcast signal including a plurality of data groups that include broadcast data and first parity data;

demodulating the received broadcast signal;

performing first decoding on the broadcast data in a frame based on the first parity data for error correction,

wherein the frame is formed based on the plurality of data groups in the demodulated broadcast signal, and

wherein the plurality of data groups have a same size; and

de-randomizing the first decoded broadcast data,

wherein second decoding on the broadcast data in the frame is selectively performed,

wherein the broadcast signal further includes signaling information that contains a transmission parameter to indicate whether second encoding was performed on the broadcast data in a transmitting system,

wherein, when the transmission parameter indicates that the second encoding was performed on the broadcast data, the frame further includes second parity data and the second decoding is performed on the broadcast data in the frame based on the second parity data for error detection, and

wherein a number of the first parity data is variable and a number of the second parity data is fixed.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the number of the first parity data is identified based on the signaling information.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

performing equalizing on the demodulated broadcast signal.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

performing de-interleaving on the broadcast data.

5. A receiving system for processing data, the receiving system comprising:

a tuner to receive a broadcast signal including a plurality of data groups that include broadcast data and first parity data;

a demodulator to demodulate the received broadcast signal;

a decoder to perform first decoding on the broadcast data in a frame based on the first parity data for error correction,

wherein the frame is formed based on the plurality of data groups in the demodulated broadcast signal, and

wherein the plurality of data groups have a same size; and

a de-randomizer to de-randomize the first decoded broadcast data,

wherein the decoder selectively performs second decoding on the broadcast data in the frame,

wherein the broadcast signal further includes signaling information that contains a transmission parameter to indicate whether second encoding was performed on the broadcast data in a transmitting system,

wherein, when the transmission parameter indicates that the second encoding was performed on the broadcast data, the frame further includes second parity data and the second decoding is performed on the broadcast data in the frame based on the second parity data for error detection, and

wherein a number of the first parity data is variable and a number of the second parity data is fixed.

6. The receiving system of claim 5, wherein the number of the first parity data is identified based on the signaling information.

7. The receiving system of claim 5, further comprising:

an equalizer to perform equalizing on the demodulated broadcast signal.

8. The receiving system of claim 5, wherein the decoder further performs de-interleaving on the broadcast data.
