Abstract:
In a multicarrier communication system having a plurality of subchannels, a method for supporting at least two applications, the method comprising:associating each application in a set of currently active applications with a different Framer/Coder/Interleaver block for processing bits associated with that application; allocating at least one subchannel to one application in the set of currently active applications for carrying bits processed by the Frame/Coder/Interleaver block associated with that application; and allocating the at least one subchannel, in response to a change in the set of currently active applications, to a second different application in the changed set of currently active applications, for carrying bits processed by the Framer/Coder/Interleaver block associated with the second application.
