Abstract
In one embodiment, a method and apparatus increases a bit load of a multicarrier system comprising a channel having a plurality of subchannels. A bit load is determined for at least one subchannel based on a target symbol error rate εa maximum number of symbol errors that can be corrected t, a number of symbols in an information field K, and a maximum number of transmissions k, and a number of bits per subchannel. The maximum number of symbol errors t, the number of symbols in the information field K and the maximum number of transmissions k, is selected such that a net coding gain is increased. In another embodiment, a method determines data flow for a channel having a plurality of subchannels in a multi-carrier system.
