Block coding, to recover errors without retransmission, interleaving, to convert block losses into single bit losses (and make error recovery possible), FEC, in the form of convolutional encoding with Viterbi (soft) with maximum likelyhood decoding. Compression, whenever applicable, reduces the data volume to be sent, and so, content to be mistaken... Of course, multicarrier modulation, to allow high data speeds with low signalling rates, to fight multipath... of course, it requires BANDWIDTH... It is not a "single trick", but a boxful of them... 73 de Jose, CO2JA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
