ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for facilitating high-speed data communication. In one embodiment a receiver is configured to include error correction coding in an interleaved environment to increase data transmission rates. In one embodiment the signal mapping scheme includes constellation shaping to reduce transmit power levels. In one embodiment 8-state Ungerboeck trellis coding is implemented with 4-dimensional PAM10 signal mapping.
