Abstract:
1. A method for assigning bytes to mux data frames in an ADSL DMT system, the method comprising: calculating an average number of TC-sublayer bytes per mux data frame; in response to the calculated average number of TC-sublayer bytes per mux data frame being a non-integer, rounding the calculated average number of TC-sublayer bytes per mux data frame up to a next integer value thereby producing an integer version of the average number of TC-sublayer bytes per mux data frame; calculating an adjusted number of mux data frames based on the integer version of the average number of TC-sublayer bytes per mux data frame; and in response to the adjusted number of mux data frames being a non-integer, truncating the adjusted number of mux data frames thereby producing an integer version of the adjusted number of mux data frames.
