Techniques to reduce the transmission overheads in a communication system are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method described herein relates to the elimination of redundant padding to realize an integer number of FEC code-words during the FEC-encoding process of transmission as well as the reduction/elimination of redundant padding to realize an integer number of transmission symbols during the subcarrier modulation mapping process of transmitting OFDM/ACMT/DMT symbols. The techniques are described in the context of a communication system based on the MoCA specification. Furthermore, techniques for channel-profiling, channel-estimation and bandwidth request/grant signaling that facilitate the realization of the method of reduction of transmission overheads in a MoCA system are also described. 119-. (canceled)20. A method , the method comprising:encoding a data payload into a plurality of codewords using a hardware processor that is operable to execute a sequence of instructions stored in a memory; and selecting a corresponding multi-tone symbol from a plurality of multi-tone symbols, wherein the selection is according to a size of each of the plurality of codewords; and', 'modulating each of the plurality of codewords according to the corresponding multi-tone symbol., 'for each codeword of the plurality of codewords21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the plurality of codewords is a plurality of Forward Error Correction (FEC) codewords.22. The method of claim 20 , wherein the plurality of multi-tone symbols is a plurality of adaptive constellation multi-tone (ACMT) symbols.23. The method of claim 20 , wherein the method comprises communicating the plurality of multi-tone modulated codewords over a Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA) network.24. The method of claim 20 , wherein a corresponding multi-tone symbol for a first codeword of the plurality of codewords is different than a corresponding multi-tone symbol for a last codeword of the plurality of codewords.25. ...
