Abstract:
In a multicarrier modulation system including two transceivers in communication with each other over a communication channel, a method for supporting a plurality of applications comprising:defining a plurality of application profiles, each application profile corresponding to a unique set of one or more applications and specifying at least one transmission parameter for each application in that unique application set for transmitting information associated with that application over the communication channel; storing the plurality of application profiles at one of the transceivers; transmitting information according to a first stored application profile that corresponds to a set of currently active applications; selecting, in response to a change in the set of currently active applications, a second stored application profile that corresponds to the one or more applications in the changed set of currently active applications; and transitioning to transmitting information according to the second stored application profile, without interrupting communication between the transceivers in order to retrain the transceivers.
