DISTRIBUTED CONTROL IN SYNCHRONIZING REMOTE UNITS TO HOST UNIT

A bi-directional communication system is provided. The system includes a multipoint-to-point host unit and a plurality of remote units communicatively coupled to the multipoint-to-point host unit through an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing waveform. The multipoint-to-point host unit is con...

Zusammenfassung:A bi-directional communication system is provided. The system includes a multipoint-to-point host unit and a plurality of remote units communicatively coupled to the multipoint-to-point host unit through an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing waveform. The multipoint-to-point host unit is configured to receive the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing waveform, the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing waveform comprising a plurality of tones transmitted by the plurality of remote units. The multipoint-to-point host unit is configured to adjust transmissions from at least one of the plurality of remote units based on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing waveform so that the plurality of tones transmitted by the plurality of remote units are substantially orthogonal when received at the multipoint-to-point host unit.
