Abstract:
A central access network unit comprising a processor configured to assign a plurality of upstream training blocks from an upstream OFDM symbol to a plurality of downstream network units, wherein the OFDM symbol comprises a plurality of pilot subcarriers equally spaced across an upstream RF spectrum in a pre-determined time interval, and wherein each upstream training block comprises a different subset of the pilot subcarriers that are non-consecutive and situated across the upstream RF spectrum, and generate one or more messages comprising assignments of the upstream training blocks, and a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the messages to the plurality of downstream network units via a network, wherein the messages instruct at least one of the plurality of downstream network units to transmit a modulated pre-determined sequence at the pilot subcarriers corresponding to the upstream training block assigned to the downstream network unit.

Claim (Index 5):
An apparatus in a cable modem termination system (CMTS) network, the apparatus comprising:\n a memory storing instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory, with the processor executing the instructions to:\n assign, to a cable modem, a set of scattered subcarriers from a set of first equally-spaced subcarriers of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, with the set of scattered subcarriers starting from a certain subcarrier of the set of first equally-spaced subcarriers and with the set of scattered subcarriers being equally-spaced by a fixed number of the first equally-subcarriers; and \n transmit, to the cable modem, location information that indicates a location of the set of scattered subcarriers in the OFDM symbol, with the location information indicating that the set of scattered subcarriers starts from the certain subcarrier and indicating the fixed number.
