Abstract: A bidirectional communication system is provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises a host unit and a plurality of remote units using a multiple access scheme to communicate at the same time with the host unit using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The host unit repeatedly performs an analysis of a transmission characteristic of at least one upstream signal from at least one remote unit. The at least one remote unit makes adjustments to the transmission characteristic based on the analyses performed by the host unit to assist the host unit in demodulating a plurality of upstream signals from the plurality of remote units.

Abstract: A training premable in multipoint-to-point communication using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises a host unit and a plurality of remote units using a multiple access scheme to communicate at the same time with the host unit using OFDM. The host unit sends an adjustment signal to at least one of the remote units instructing the at least one remote unit to adjust the timing of transmissions from the remote unit to improve orthogonality of an OFDM waveform received at the host unit. The host unit allocates orthogonal tones within the OFDM waveform to the plurality of remote units. At least one remote unit transmits a training sequence in at least one upstream OFDM signal to the host unit and the host unit uses the training sequence to assist in demodulating the upstream OFDM signal of the at least one remote unit.
