1. A method of improving signal decoding in a multiple sub-channel receiver, the method comprising:
determining whether each sub-channel is a good sub-channel or a bad sub-channel;
converting any good sub-channel including a spur to a bad sub-channel;
weighting bits of a signal in a good channel more than bits a bad sub-channel; and
providing weighting information to a decoder,
wherein the weighting includes adjusting based on data rate such that bits affected by a spur at a higher data rate have a different weighting than bits affected by a spur at a lower data rate.
