Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes an apparatus having an automatic gain control (AGC) stage to receive an input signal from a communication channel physical medium, a first local gain stage coupled to an output of the AGC stage, an equalizer coupled to an output of the first local gain stage, an echo canceller to receive local data to be transmitted along the communication channel physical medium, and a second local gain stage coupled to an output of the echo canceller. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that can be used to decode signals received over multiple channels. The received signals may be processed using noise reducing logic. Signal-to-noise ratio information per channel for signals received over each of the multiple channels may be considered to determine reliability information concerning the slicer input for each channel. Low density parity check codes or other forward error correction (FEC) codes may be used to decode the processed signals from all the multiple channels based on the reliability information.
