APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USE IN A MOBILE/HANDHELD COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

An Advanced Television Systems Committee Digital Television (ATSC DTV) transmitter transmits a digital multiplex that includes a legacy DTV channel and a mobile DTV channel. The mobile DTV channel is conveyed in mobile packets that comprise mobile data and additional mobile training information. A mobile packet comprises 207 bytes wherein 2 bytes are header information, 20 bytes are Reed-Solomon (RS) parity information and 185 bytes convey mobile data and mobile training information. The mobile training information is inserted into mobile packets such that the additional training information appears in contiguous positions after convolutional interleaving.
