Patent ID: 8126075

Claim:
A method for encoding data for transmission over a telecommunications network comprising embedding a control data block within a plurality of real data blocks; modulating or transforming the control data block through phase angle convoluting each real data entry of each real data block with phase angles of the corresponding entries of the other real data blocks and embedding the convoluted real data entries into the control data block; modulating or transforming the plurality of real data blocks through modifying the plurality of real data blocks with at least some of the convoluted real data entries placed into the control data block; and modulating or transforming data in the plurality of real data blocks and the control data block with every sub-carrier that is used to modulate the real data entries, wherein each entry of the control data block has a phase angle that is a function of the phase angles of the corresponding entries of the real data blocks and the phase angle convoluting comprises subtracting from the phase angle of each real data entry all of the phase angles of all of the corresponding entries of all of the other real data blocks.
