Abstract
A digital broadcast transmission apparatus includes a Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder to perform RS encoding of data to obtain RS-encoded data formatted in data packets each including a predetermined number of bytes; a sync byte inserter to insert sync bytes indicating a start point of one of the data packets in a predetermined location of the RS-encoded data; an interleaver to interleave the RS-encoded data after the sync bytes have been inserted in the RS-encoded data to obtain interleaved data; and a data stuffer to sequentially insert complete packets of the interleaved data each including the predetermined number of bytes in a field, and insert an initial portion of a final packet of the interleaved data beginning in the field in residual bytes of the field that are less than the predetermined number of bytes.
