Abstract

See full text

A network for determining a common bit-loading modulation scheme for communicating between nodes in the network is disclosed. The network may include a transmitting node within the plurality of nodes where the transmitting node is capable of sending a probe signal to the nodes, and at least one receiving node within the plurality of nodes in signal communication with the transmitting node. The at least one receiving node is capable of transmitting a first response signal in response to receiving the probe signal. The first response signal includes a first bit-loading modulation scheme determined by the at least one receiving node. The transmitting node is further capable of determining the common bit-loading modulation scheme from the first response signal.
