Patent ID: 8711801

Claim:
A method, comprising: allocating a capacity of a plurality of frames between a first physical layer pipe and at least one second physical layer pipe; the first physical layer pipe comprising a plurality of interleaving blocks in the plurality of frames, and the at least one second physical layer pipe comprising a single interleaving block in the plurality of frames, wherein the single interleaving block is distributed over a first frame and a second frame of the plurality of frames, and wherein the single interleaving block contains all second physical layer pipe data to be transmitted in the plurality of frames; dividing the capacity of the plurality of frames, the first physical layer pipe, and the at least one second physical layer pipe into a plurality of subframes, wherein each of the subframes carries one burst from each of the physical layer pipes; selectively time shifting the plurality of bursts such that a defined time shift exists between corresponding bursts in each subframe within the first frame; and appending the subframes after each other in a sequence to form the plurality of frames.
