1. A method of transmitting a broadcast signal, the method comprising:
- encoding mobile data to build a 2-dimensional Reed-Solomon (RS) frame through which the mobile data belonging to an ensemble including a service of the mobile data is RS-cyclic redundancy check (RS-CRC) encoded, wherein the encoded RS frame is separated into a plurality of portions;
encoding signaling information that includes fast information channel (FIC) data and transmission parameter channel (TPC) data, the FIC data having cross layer information between a physical layer and an upper layer;
forming data groups, wherein each of the data groups includes the encoded signaling information, known data sequences and one of the plurality of portions;
removing placeholders for main data and non-systematic RS parity data in the data groups;
replacing placeholders for MPEG-2 headers in the data groups with MPEG-2 headers having packet identifications (IDs) of mobile data packets;
forming mobile data packets including data in the data groups;
multiplexing the mobile data packets and main data packets including main data to generate multiplexed data packets; and
transmitting a transmission frame including the multiplexed data packets,wherein the transmission frame includes five sub-frames,wherein the TPC data indicates a total number of data groups to be transmitted during a subframe,wherein the RS frame includes an RS frame payload having a size of 187×
N bytes,wherein N is an integer dependent on the TPC data, andwherein the RS frame payload includes a plurality of packets.

Abstract
A digital broadcasting system and a method of processing data are disclosed, which are robust to error when mobile service data are transmitted. To this end, additional encoding is performed for the mobile service data, whereby it is possible to strongly cope with fast channel change while giving robustness to the mobile service data.
