Abstract
A digital broadcasting system and method of processing data are disclosed. The digital broadcasting system includes a transmitting system and a receiving system. The transmitting system comprises a distributed transmission adapter and a plurality of transmitters each being operated as a slave of the distributed transmission adapter, and each sharing the same frequency and transmitting the same signals.

A method of processing digital broadcast data in a digital broadcast receiver, the method comprising:
- receiving a digital broadcast signal comprising main service data, mobile service data, and known data sequences, wherein the digital broadcast signal is processed in a digital broadcast transmitter by:
- randomizing mobile service data in a first randomizer,
- performing Reed-Solomon (RS) encoding and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) encoding on the randomized mobile service data,
- encoding the RS-CRC encoded mobile service data at a coding rate of 1/N, wherein N is an integer greater than 1,
- mapping the mobile service data encoded at the coding rate of 1/N into a data group and adding known data sequences, place holders for main service data, place holders for non-systematic RS parity data, and place holders for moving picture experts group (MPEG) header data to the data group,
- deinterleaving the data group,
- removing the place holders for the main service data and the place holders for the non-systematic RS parity data in the deinterleaved data group and replacing the place holders for the MPEG header data in the deinterleaved data group with the MPEG header data having a packet identifier (PID), thereby outputting mobile service data packets,
- multiplexing the mobile service data packets with main service data packets including the main service data,
- randomizing, by a second randomizer, the multiplexed main service data packets and the MPEG header data of the multiplexed mobile service data packets,
- performing systematic RS encoding on the main service data packets from the second randomizer, and performing non-systematic RS encoding on the mobile service data packets from the second randomizer,
- performing convolutional byte interleaving on the systematic RS-encoded main service data packets and the non-systematic RS-encoded mobile service data packets, and
- trellis encoding data in the interleaved data packets in a trellis encoding unit, wherein at least one memory included in the trellis encoding unit is initialized at each start of the known data sequences;
- demodulating the received digital broadcast signal;
- detecting the known data sequences from the digital broadcast signal;
- compensating channel distortion of the demodulated digital broadcast signal based on at least one of the detected known data sequences;
- and
- decoding the channel distortion compensated digital broadcast signal.
