1. A method for bonded channels, the method comprising:
determining the number of symbols needed to carry data over two bonded channels according to:
a number of bits per Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol for the two channels;
a number of parity bits per Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codeword;
a respective maximum LDPC codeword payload size from Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) reports for each channel; and
a bonded channel frame splitting overhead.
