1. An apparatus, comprising:
a controller configured to:
determine, from a signal modulated using a modulation scheme that includes at least four physical levels, a first bit associated with a first portion of the signal and a second bit associated with a second portion of the signal based at least in part on a half-rate calculation;
map, based at least in part on determining the first bit and the second bit, the first bit with a first physical level of the at least four physical levels and the second bit with a second physical level of the at least four physical levels; and
transmit the signal based at least in part on mapping the first bit and the second bit.
