Multi-point to point communication system with remote unit burst identification

摘要

A method of burst identification in a communication is described. The method includes receiving, at each of a first set of m service units, a plurality of modulated orthogonal carriers having information modulated thereon in a plurality of bands of a first frequency bandwidth transmitted from a head end terminal, wherein the first band includes at least one control channel. The method further includes scanning, at each of the m service units, the at least one control channel to detect identification information corresponding to each of the m service units to identify a particular band of the plurality of bands that each of the m service units is to use for receiving information from the head end terminal.
