Patent ID: 8396150

Claim:
A device for selecting tones for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, the device comprising: a processor; a memory coupled to the processor; a tone selection module stored in the memory and configured to execute on the processor to: select a number of data subcarriers N SD to test; compute a number of coded bits per symbol N CBPS =N SD *M where M comprises a modulation order; compute a number of coded bits per single carrier N BPSCS =N CBPS /N SD ; compute N ROW =y*N BPSCS , where y is an assigned interleaver parameter; compute INT DIM =N ROW *N COL where N ROW is a number of rows in an interleaver and N COL is a number of columns in the interleaver; compute compute M 1 =Z−└Z┘; and compute a number of data bits per symbol N DBPS =r*N CBPS , where r is a code rate; compute M 2 =N DBPS −└N DBPS ┘.
