A transceiver configured to utilize dynamic coding for rapid recovery from a serious differential interference that causes performance of the transceiver to fall below a desired level, comprising: a digital canceller coupled to a receiver analog front end, Rx-AFE, and to a common mode sensor analog front end, CMS-AFE, via a fast-adaptive mode-conversion canceller, FA-MCC, which generates a compensation signal to cancel differential interference caused by mode conversion of the common mode signal, the Rx-AFE and CMS-AFE being coupled to a differential communication channel that is coupled to a second transceiver; wherein the digital canceller is configured to feed a slicer that is configured to feed a Physical Coding Sublayer, PCS, with quantization results; and the PCS is configured to extract packets from the quantization results; wherein, responsive to serious differential interference occurring over the differential communication channel, a rate controller is configured to: command the second transceiver to reduce its code rate of transmitting packets by at least 50%, and update the FA-MCC about the reduction in the code rate; responsive to being apprised about the reduction in the code rate, the FA-MCC is configured to increase its adaptation step size, ADSS, by at least 50% in order to mitigate the effect of the serious differential interference; following mitigation of the effect of the serious differential interference, the rate controller is configured to: command the second transceiver to increase its code rate; and the FA-MCC is further configured to reduce its ADSS after it mitigates the effect of the serious differential interference; characterised in that the transceiver further comprises a retransmission module configured to request retransmission of packets with errors, based on the packets extracted by the PCS; wherein the FA-MCC is configured to mitigate the effect of the serious differential interference within less than 500 microseconds, and the retransmission module is limited to support retransmission of up to 100% of the packets received during the 500 microseconds. a digital canceller coupled to a receiver analog front end, Rx-AFE, and to a common mode sensor analog front end, CMS-AFE, via a fast-adaptive mode-conversion canceller, FA-MCC, which generates a compensation signal to cancel differential interference caused by mode conversion of the common mode signal, the Rx-AFE and CMS-AFE being coupled to a differential communication channel that is coupled to a second transceiver; wherein the digital canceller is configured to feed a slicer that is configured to feed a Physical Coding Sublayer, PCS, with quantization results; and the PCS is configured to extract packets from the quantization results; wherein, responsive to serious differential interference occurring over the differential communication channel, a rate controller is configured to: command the second transceiver to reduce its code rate of transmitting packets by at least 50%, and update the FA-MCC about the reduction in the code rate; responsive to being apprised about the reduction in the code rate, the FA-MCC is configured to increase its adaptation step size, ADSS, by at least 50% in order to mitigate the effect of the serious differential interference; following mitigation of the effect of the serious differential interference, the rate controller is configured to: command the second transceiver to increase its code rate; and the FA-MCC is further configured to reduce its ADSS after it mitigates the effect of the serious differential interference; characterised in that the transceiver further comprises a retransmission module configured to request retransmission of packets with errors, based on the packets extracted by the PCS; wherein the FA-MCC is configured to mitigate the effect of the serious differential interference within less than 500 microseconds, and the retransmission module is limited to support retransmission of up to 100% of the packets received during the 500 microseconds.
