A modulator and demodulator pair may switch configurations without introducing errors as a result of the switch. Different configurations may, for example, correspond to different symbol rates and/or different amounts of controlled inter-symbol interference (ISI) introduced to the transmitted signal. For example, a first configuration may use be a near-zero ISI configuration (e.g., using Nyquist signaling) and a second configuration may introduce a significant (e.g., amount that would result in errors above a desired threshold if demodulation relied on symbol-by-symbol slicing) but controlled amount of ISI (e.g., using partial response or faster-than-Nyquist-rate signaling). Switching between modulator/demodulator configurations may be needed to maintain a stable link in the case of dynamic channels. At any given time, a modulator and demodulator pair may, for example, switch to a configuration that provides maximal throughput for the current channel conditions.
