(57) The invention is related to a method of transmitting data from a transmitter to a
receiver, in particular in a DVB-scenario. Hereby data is transmitted in consecutive
bursts and each burst comprises a plurality of Multi-Protocol Encapsulation (MPE)
and Multi-Protocol Encapsulation - inter-burst-Forward Error Correction (MPE-iFEC)
sections, whereby MPE-sections carry an ADST-address containing the position in the
Application Data Sub-Table (ADST) into which the content of the respective MPE-section
has to be written. This ADST-address and/or the status of each byte is stored into
the ADST while mapping the content of a burst in the ADST and iFDST, whereby the status
of each byte is marked as "error free" or "with errors". This ADST-address and/or
the byte status is further written in the ADT's while mapping the content of the ADST
into ADT's, so that the ADST-address and/or the byte status is conveyed from the ADST
to the ADT's. After the decoding process is applied on the ADT's and iFDST's, if the
byte status has been stored in the ADT's the byte status is updated by the receiver,
by the following steps:
- Checking whether a byte which has been labeled before decoding as "with errors"
is present in a column whose status has changed from "with errors" before decoding
to "error free" after decoding
- Changing the status of such a byte from "with errors" to "error free".
The method further comprises the step of copying the updated byte status and/or the
ADST-address stored in the ADT's into the output ADST's.
