Abstract
A method for inserting ordered sets into a data stream converted from a first rate to a second rate Ntimes greater than the first rate, while conforming to a requirement that symbols be arranged in units of symbol length M, includes receiving, at the first rate, a data packet containing data symbols, receiving Ysymbols of control information, and identifying an ordered set based on the Ysymbols. The method also includes generating Nrepetitions of each data symbol of the data packet, determining whether Y*N/M has a non-zero remainder, and, at least partially in response to determining that Y*N/M has a non-zero remainder, generating a number of repetitions of the ordered set containing either more or fewer than Y*Nsymbols. The method also includes outputting, at the second rate, the data symbol repetitions and first ordered set repetitions.
