Abstract:
1. A method, in a multicarrier communication system including a first and second transceiver, the method comprising: transmitting, from the first transceiver to the second transceiver, a first initialization message indicating an impulse noise protection value; transmitting, from the second transceiver to the first transceiver, a second initialization message comprising information that indicates a number of repeated DMT symbols, the number of repeated DMT symbols being greater than the impulse noise protection value; and transmitting, from the first transceiver to the second transceiver, a third initialization message, wherein the first transceiver modulates at least one message bit of the third initialization message onto the repeated DMT symbols, wherein the number of repeated DMT symbols used to modulate the at least one message bit of the third initialization message is indicated in the second initialization message transmitted from the second transceiver to first transceiver.
