摘要 |
<p>The invention provides a multi-carrier transmission system, for example, a DMT system, in which channel information is transmitted between two transceivers using a plurality of sub-carriers, characterised in that each sub-carrier, or symbol, has a parameter associated therewith, and in that said transceivers are adapted to transmit said channel information as a sequence of n groups, in which each of said n groups contains information concerning the number of adjacent sub-carriers which have the same value as said parameter, together with the actual value of the parameter. The parameter which may have a plurality of discrete values, may be a bit-loading value, or a QAM constellation identifier.</p> |
