First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry of a forward error correction (FEC) sublayer to perform forward error correction, the FEC sublayer coupled to a physical coding sublayer and a physical medium attachment (PMA) sublayer the FEC sublayer comprising an encoder having;
a reverse gearbox;
a compressor coupled to said reverse gearbox;
a selector coupled to said compressor;
a parity generator coupled to said compressor;
a multiplexer coupled to said compressor, selector and said parity generator;
a scrambler coupled to said multiplexer; and
a pseudo-noise generator coupled to said scrambler.
