Abstract
A DAB receiver, an apparatus and a method for converting a first sequence of data having a fixed frame structure, wherein locations within the frame are reserved for predetermined data types, into a second sequence of data, having a different frame structure. The data belonging to the respective data types are grouped in separate sequences with a frame type identifier attached to the sequences for identifying the different sequences. This allows an easy identification of the different sequences of data within the second sequence without the need of prior knowledge of the exact location of the sequences within the second sequence. An example of such a conversion is the conversion of the channel decoder output of a DAB receiver into a format suitable for embedding in the IEC958 format.
