Abstract: Systems for multiple use subchannels are provided. In one embodiment, a bidirectional communication system comprises: a first remote unit for communicating with a host using OFDM, the host communicatively coupled to a plurality of remote units in a multipoint-to-point configuration. The first remote unit is configured to transmit up to a plurality of tones, the up to a plurality of tones modulated with upstream information using OFDM, the first remote unit including a modulator for modulating the up to a plurality of tones using OFDM. The modulator is configured to adjust a carrier frequency and timing of the plurality of tones such that when any tones are transmitted from the first remote unit and at least one other remote unit, the orthogonality of the tones when received at the host unit is improved. Both control data and payload data are transmitted on a first tone of the plurality of tones.

Abstract: A method for maintaining the quality of transmission from a head end to a service unit in a telecommunications system that uses a multi-carrier transmission scheme with dynamic bandwidth allocation is disclosed. The method involves allocating a first payload channel to a service unit in a subband of a transmission channel of the telecommunications system and monitoring the quality of the first payload channel. When the quality of the first payload channel drops below a threshold, the method allocates a second, different payload channel to the channel unit.
