| 1. In a discrete multitone (DMT) system, a method for transmitting data between a first device and a second device, the method
comprising:
loading, by the first device, a predetermined number of bits of data for each of a plurality of N non-consecutive tones, where
N is an odd integer;
transmitting, by a transmitter portion of the first device, redundant sets of data on each of the plurality of N non-consecutive
tones, each of the redundant sets of data including the predetermined number of bits of data, where each of the N non-consecutive
tones is not adjacent in a frequency domain to other ones of the N non-consecutive tones;
receiving, by the second device, the redundant sets of data by the second device; and
identifying the data represented by the redundant sets of data using a voting scheme.
