Abstract
New capabilities will allow conventional broadcast transmission to be available to mobile devices. A method is described including the steps of receiving data, encoding the data using a first encoding process, inserting training data into the encoded data, and encoding the encoded data and the training data using a second encoding process. An apparatus is also described including a first encoder receiving at least a portion of data and encoding the portion of data using a first encoding process, a training data inserter inserting training data into the first encoded data, and a second encoder encoding the first encoded data and the training data using a second encoding process.
Claims17
A method comprising the steps of:
- Receiving data;
- encoding the data using a first encoding process;
- inserting training data into the encoded data;
- and
- encoding the encoded data and the training data using a second encoding process.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first encoder, the first encoder receiving at least a portion of data and encoding the portion of data using a first encoding process;
- a training data inserter coupled to the output of the first encoder, the training data inserter inserting training data into the first encoded data;
- and
- a second encoder coupled to the output of the training data inserter, the second encoder encoding the first encoded data and the training data using a second encoding process
