Abstract:
1. A method suitable for use in allocating information bits and power among user modems and frequency bins in a multi-carrier binder, said method comprising the steps of: selecting a least-incremental-power-bit frequency bin having a corresponding bit count and meeting a first predefined criterion, said least-incremental-power-bit frequency bin corresponding to a selected user; increasing said bit count in said selected least-incremental-power-bit frequency bin in response to said step of selecting; calculating power values for other non-selected users within the multi-carrier binder in response to said step of increasing said bit count; if a second predefined criterion has not been satisfied, repeatedly performing said steps of selecting, increasing, and calculating until said second predefined criterion has been satisfied; and, if said second predefined criterion has been satisfied, stopping bit and power allocation if modem power has been exhausted.
