Abstract: A scheme for configuring an FEC encoder (including an associated interleaver) for changing data channel characteristics. Channel information specifying a modulation mode and carriers capable of supporting the modulation mode for the data channel is received by a transmitting network node for use in a data transmission to a receiving network node. The received channel information is based on a prior data transmission to the receiving network node over the data channel. Configuration values are computed from the received channel information and an amount of data to be transmitted in a data transmission. The FEC encoder is configured to operate on the data transmission data amount according to the configuration information.
