Abstract:
A method for use by a first modem for initiating a data phase error correction protocol parameters communication during a modem training phase with a second modem, said modem training phase including a capability exchange phase, a probing phase, an impairment learning phase and a constellation transmission phase, said method comprising the steps of:performing an initial training portion of said modem training phase; modifying at least one of said impairment learning phase and said constellation transmission phase to include one or more data phase error correction protocol parameters to form a modified training signal; transmitting said modified training signal after said initial training portion of said modem training phase, wherein said one or more data phase error correction protocol parameters are capable of being used for establishing an error correction protocol; finalizing said modem training phase; entering a modem data phase after said finalizing step; establishing said error correction protocol, using said one or more data phase error correction protocol parameters, after said step of entering said modem data phase; and receiving data using said error correction protocol after establishing said error correction protocol.
