Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for efficiently bit-reversing and scrambling one or more bytes of payload data according to DSL standards on a processor. In one embodiment, this is achieved by providing an instruction for bit reversing and scrambling one or more bytes of data according to the DSL standards. Accordingly, the invention advantageously provides a processor with the ability to bit reverse and scramble data with a single instruction thus allowing for more efficient and faster scrambling operations for subsequent modulation and transmission.
