Abstract:
A network device implements a repetition scheme to generate a repetition-encoded FEC codeword for a FEC codeword. The repetition-encoded FEC codeword includes a set of bit sequences concatenated together. The set of bit sequences corresponds to a set of OFDM symbols. In some embodiments, each bit sequence is formed by M replicas of the FEC codeword and an offset is applied to shift the bit sequence where the offset is different for each bit sequence. In one embodiment, a right cyclic shift is used to offset the bits in each symbol. Each shifted bit sequence is allocated into subcarriers of an OFDM symbol over a frequency range indicative of an operating frequency band of a domain to form the respective OFDM symbol. The set of OFDM symbols is transformed into a time domain signal for transmission.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for transmitting a message comprising a repetition-encoded FEC codeword, the method comprising:\n receiving a forward error correction (FEC) codeword having a first number of encoded bits; applying a repetition-encoding scheme to the FEC codeword to generate a repetition-encoded FEC codeword, wherein the repetition-encoded FEC codeword comprises a set of bit sequences concatenated together, the set of bit sequences corresponding to a set of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, each bit sequence being formed by M replicas of the respective FEC codeword and an offset applied to shift the bit sequence, the set of bit sequence having a set of offsets applied thereto, wherein the offset is different for each bit sequence, each bit sequence with the respective offset to be allocated to subcarriers over a frequency range indicative of an operating frequency band of a domain to form the corresponding OFDM symbol; modulating the set of bit sequences of the repetition-encoded FEC codeword into the set of OFDM symbols by allocating encoded bits of the bit sequences into subcarriers of the OFDM symbols over the frequency range indicative of the operating frequency band of a domain; and transmitting a time domain signal representing the set of OFDM symbols corresponding to the repetition encoded FEC codeword over a communication media.
