Patent Images
1. In digital communications using multicarrier modulation, a method of reducing forward error correction coding (FECC) symbol errors comprising:
- providing a plurality of FECC symbols, each FECC symbol containing a number of bits;
providing a plurality of subchannels for modulating the bits; and
reordering the subchannels to reduce FECC symbol errors caused by bits from one subchannel being assigned to more than one FECC symbol.

Abstract
A technique is provided that may be employed in multicarrier communications to improve the efficiency of error correction using symbol-oriented error correction methodologies, by reducing the number of error correction code symbols (102, 104 . . . ) that are received in error that result from a single channel error. More specifically, in this technique, bits from the symbols are allocated among the channels in such a way as to minimize the number of respective channels that are allocated bits belonging to more that one respective symbol during a respective transmission period.
