A discrete multi-tone (DMT) digital subscriber line (DSL) communication device employs a linear block interleaver for mathematically combining multiple tones into n-tone combinations in order to efficiently suppress or eliminate correlated noise or impulse noise generated in the communication channel. In architecture, the linear block interleaver includes logic configured to combine multiple signaling constellations into n-tone combinations. The multiple constellations are mathematically combined such that noise energy present in at least one of the n-tone combinations is spread among each of the multiple tones, thus reducing the energy of the noise on each of the multiple tones.
