Abstract:
1. A method for increasing a data rate in a physical layer device, said physical layer device having a data transmission rate of X bits/s when transmitting symbols based on a low density parity check encoded data block of L bits that is generated by a low density parity check encoding module that encodes a block of N data bits with M error correction bits, said physical layer device having a clocking rate, the method comprising: receiving a stream of N+Y data bits in a modified version of said low density parity check encoding module, Y>0; generating, by said modified low density parity check module, a second low density parity check encoded data block of L bits, said second low density parity check encoded data block of L bits being generated using said received stream of N+Y data bits and M−Z error correction bits, Z>0; and transmitting, by said physical layer device, symbols based on said second low density parity check encoded data block of L bits using said clocking rate, wherein said transmission has a data transmission rate greater than X bits/s.
