Claim Text:
1. A receiver configured to receive frames, comprising: a slicer, a physical coding sublayer (PCS), and a decision based filter (DBF); each of most of the received frames comprising: modulation information modulated according to a predetermined modulation order, and symbols of at least two different modulation orders that are dynamically modulated in accordance with the modulation information; the slicer is configured to have slicing functions suitable for the at least two different modulation orders and to feed the PCS with essentially minimal combination of slicing results that essentially covers the at least two different modulation orders; and the PCS is configured to identify the modulation information, to use the identified modulation information to determine the modulation of the dynamically modulated symbols, and to provide the slicer with an indication of which slicer function output to use to feed the DBF.
