Abstract

A system and method for providing bit-loading enhancement is provided, including methods of determining an extended bit capacity for a plurality of carriers, wherein a first portion of the plurality of carriers is loaded and a second portion of the plurality of carriers is initially unloaded and bits are allocated between said first and second portions in accordance with power requirements for loading bits onto said first or second portion of the plurality of carriers, as well as methods of optimizing the average signal to noise margin for a plurality of carriers, wherein a first portion of the plurality of carriers is loaded and a second portion of the plurality of carriers is initially unloaded, and bits are loaded from the first portion onto the second portion in accordance with a power savings related to such a loading from the first portion onto the second portion.
