Adaptive channel allocation in a frequency division multiplexed system

摘要

A method and system of adaptive channel allocation in a frequency division multiplexed system is provided. In the method and system a subset of M subcarriers is chosen from a larger set of N subcarriers available for communications on a link. As communications take place on the link, signal quality (C/I) measurements on the subcarriers of the subset of M subcarriers and interference (I) measurements on the subcarriers of the group of N subcarriers are periodically performed. The C/I and I measurements are then used to reconfigure the subset of M subcarriers to reduce co-channel interference on the link.
