Abstract:
In a powerline communications (PLC) network having a first node and at least a second node on a PLC channel utilizing a band including a plurality of tones, based on at least one channel quality indicator (CQI), the first node allocates for a tone map response payload only a single (1) power control bit for each of a plurality of subbands having two or more tones. The power control bit indicates a first power state or a second power state. The first node transmits a frame including the tone map response payload to the second node. The second node transmits a frame having boosted signal power for the tones in the subbands which have the first power state compared to a lower signal power for the tones in the subbands which have the second power state.

Claim (Index 6):
A modem for communications on a powerline communications (PLC) network utilizing a plurality of tones, including a first node and at least a second node on a PLC channel, said modem comprising:\n a processor; wherein said processor is communicably coupled to a memory which stores an adaptive tone power control (ATPC) algorithm including code for compiling a tone map response message frame including a tone map response payload, and wherein said processor is programmed to implement said ATPC algorithm, said ATPC algorithm: based on at least one channel quality indicator (CQI), allocating for said tone map response payload only a single (1) power control bit for each of a plurality of subbands having two or more of said plurality of tones, wherein said power control bits indicate a first power state or a second power state; wherein said modem is configured for coupling to a PLC transceiver to provide said tone map response message frame to said PLC transceiver and cause said PLC transceiver to transmit said tone map response message frame over said PLC channel.
