A method of managing a signal over a symbol period includes supplying samples of the signal at beginning and end portions of the symbol period. The method further includes suppressing the supply of samples of the signal at a middle portion of the symbol period.

A multi-point communications system that comprises a head end unit disposed at a primary site and a plurality of receivers disposed at remote sites. The head end unit includes a transmitter for transmitting OFDM/DMT symbols over a predetermined number of bins across a transmission medium. The OFDM/DMT symbols are transmitted in periodically occurring formatted symbol frames. The cyclic prefix includes a predetermined periodic signal superimposed thereon. The receivers receive the OFDM/DMT symbols over a subset of the predetermined number of bins from the transmission medium and use the superimposed signals to attain symbol alignment. In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, the receivers apply a predetermined incremental phase shift to received samples corresponding to the received OFDM/DMT symbols to thereby compensate for phase shifts. The multi-point communications system may include a similar system for aligning symbols transmissions from a remote service unit having a transmitter. Such a system includes a plurality of remote service units each including a transmitter for transmitting OFDM/DMT symbols over a predetermined number of bins across a transmission medium. Each of the plurality of remote service units is operable in a symbol alignment mode in which the transmitter transmits a broad band periodic signal. The head end unit includes a receiver for receiving the OFDM/DMT symbols, including the broad band periodic signal, from the transmission medium. The head end unit uses the time position of the broad band periodic signal to align the symbol transmissions of the remote service unit.

A multi-point communications system is set forth herein. The communications system includes a receiver and transmitter disposed at a primary site for communication with a plurality of remote service units disposed at respective secondary sites. The receiver of the primary site receives OFDM/DMT signals over a number of transmission bins. A transmitter at the remote service unit includes an improved transmitter architecture. The transmitter comprises a first circuit for converting a signal into a first serial digital data stream and a second circuit for generating a second serial digital data stream from the first serial digital data stream of the first means. The second serial digital data stream is a digital representation of an OFDM/DMT signal that is to be transmitted to the receiver of the primary site and is generated from the first serial digital data stream through a modulated direct digital synthesis thereof. A third circuit is used to convert the second serial digital data stream into an analog OFDM/DMT signal for transmission to the receiver of the primary site.

A multi-point communications system having an allocated total bandwidth is set forth. The system comprises a head end unit disposed at a primary site. The head end unit includes a receiver for receiving OFDM/DMT modulated data from a plurality of remote transceivers over a predetermined number of bins from a transmission medium. The receiver of the head end unit receives OFDM/DMT modulated data corresponding to a first data stream from a first one of the plurality of remote transceivers over one or more bins of a first subset of the predetermined number of bins and OFDM/DMT data corresponding to a second data stream from a second one of the plurality of remote transceivers over one or more bins of a second subset of the predetermined number of bins. The head end unit and each of the first and second transceivers can receive and/or transmit in at least a given X QAM mode or Y QAM mode. The head end unit monitors actual bandwidth usage of the total allocated bandwidth and uses the measured bandwidth usage to alter the QAM modes used for communications within the system.
