Abstract
One or more embodiments provide a method for assigning communication channels to endpoint devices. Transmission quality data is collected at one or more collectors for a plurality of sub-channels. The transmission quality data is transmitted from the collectors to a command center. At the command center, unused ones of the plurality of sub-channels are organized into communication channels based on the transmission quality data. Each communication channel has the same number of contiguous sub-channels that includes at least two sub-channels. One or more endpoint devices are assigned a respective one of the communications channels. A channel reconfiguration command is transmitted to at least one of the one or more collectors. In response to the reconfiguration command, collector(s) transmit data over the power distribution lines to configure at least one of the one or more endpoint devices to use the respective assigned communication channel.
