The present invention relates to a digital broadcasting system for transmitting/receiving a digital broadcasting signal and a method of processing data. In one aspect of the present invention provides a method of processing data, the method including receiving a broadcasting signal in which mobile service data and main service data are multiplexed, demodulating the received broadcasting signal, obtaining an identifier indicating that data frame of the broadcasting signal includes service guide information, decoding and storing the service guide information from the data frame; and outputting a service included in the mobile service data according to the decoded service guide information.

Provided is an error correction decoding device including an inner code iterative decoding circuit, a parameter generation circuit, and a first control circuit. The first control circuit is configured to: receive, as parameters, a threshold and a maximum iteration count which are generated by the parameter generation circuit; and compare, when an iteration count does not reach the maximum iteration count, a non-zero-value count sequentially output from the inner code iterative decoding circuit and the threshold set for each iteration count, and stop an iterative operation by the inner code iterative decoding circuit when a result of the comparison satisfies a stopping condition set in advance.

The invention relates to a transmitting system, comprising an SNS client that receives SNS messages from at least one SNS server, and a transmitter which transmits a broadcast signal, including the SNS messages and mobile service data, for a mobile broadcast. The transmitter includes: an RS frame encoder, which performs RS encoding and CRC encoding on the mobile service data for the mobile broadcast so as to build RS frames, and divides each RS frame into a plurality of portions; a group-forming unit, which forms data groups that contain each of the plurality of portions, and which adds known data sequences and signaling data to each data group; an inter-leaver for interleaving data of the data groups; and a trellis encoding unit for trellis-encoding the interleaved data.

According to some embodiments, a method in a wireless device comprises obtaining a set of information bits for wireless transmission and dividing the set of information bits into one or more subsets of information bits. For each subset, generating extra cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits using a CRC polynomial capable of generating N CRC bits. The extra CRC bits for each subset comprise less than N CRC bits. The method further comprises: generating a final set of N or less CRC bits for the set of information bits using the CRC polynomial; generating a set of coded bits by encoding the set of information bits for wireless transmission, together with the extra CRC bits and the final set of CRC bits, using a polar encoder; and transmitting the set of coded bits using a wireless transmitter.

An encoding method for encoding input information bits using an encoder implemented with concatenation of a CRC-α coder and a polar coder is provided. The method includes performing Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) coding on as many information bits as a determined number of CRC coding bits among input information bits and performing polar coding on the CRC-coded information bits and other information bits than the CRC-coded information bits.

A method for decoding a codeword includes partitioning the codeword into a plurality of component codewords where each of the component codewords comprising a respective plurality of bits. The respective plurality of bits in each of the plurality of component codewords are interleaved. Each of the plurality of interleaved component codewords are decoded along two dimensions to produce (i) a set of first decoding results and (ii) a set of second decoding results. A short error event is then detected and corrected based on (i) the set of first decoding results and (ii) the set of second decoding results.

A method for storing data within a memory device includes receiving data to be stored. The received data is encoded. The encoded data is stored within the memory device. Encoding the received data includes encoding the data into two or more sub-codewords. Each of the two or more sub-codewords includes a plurality of outer codewords. Two or more of the plurality of outer codewords are grouped to form a larger codeword that is larger than each of the plurality of outer codewords and the larger codeword is constructed to correct errors and/or erasures that are not correctable by the plurality of outer codewords, individually.
