ABSTRACT:
A technique for utilizing spare bandwidth resulting from the use of a code in a multi-level signaling system is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for utilizing spare bandwidth resulting from the use of a code in a multi-level signaling system, wherein the code has a characteristic wherein a signal transition is periodically unused. Such a method may comprise modifying the code such that the periodically unused signal transition is used to represent additional information.
