Techniques are provided herein to increase a rate of data transfer across a large number of channels in a memory device using multi-level signaling. Such multi-level signaling may be configured to increase a data transfer rate without increasing the frequency of data transfer and/or a transmit power of the communicated data. An example of multi-level signaling scheme may be pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). Each unique symbol of the multi-level signal may be configured to represent a plurality of bits of data.

The invention relates to a method for transmitting information, particularly network parameters for connecting to a wireless network, from a provisioning device to a wireless device via a wireless interface. The information is obtained in an encoded form in the provisioning device and the provisioning device transmits a sequence of data packets (21) in accordance with a pattern generated based on the encoded information. Each element of the pattern correspond to a predetermined time distance between consecutive data packets (21) or to a predetermined data packet length, and the data packets (21) have a length which is smaller than a maximum length supported by the wireless interface.
