Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing transmission of data on a channel in a network. For example, the method determines a ratio of a number of channel uses of the channel to a number of source samples, divides a channel bandwidth into a plurality of subbands of equal bandwidth in accordance with the ratio, receives a source sample block, determines a channel input for each of the plurality of subbands from the source sample block in accordance with a hybrid coding scheme, and transmits, for each of the plurality of subbands, the channel input that is determined over the network.
