Abstract

In a communication system, a plurality of remote modems send streams of data to a local modem, each remote modem preceding its transmission with a unique preamble consisting of phase reversed signals. At the local modem a preamble decoder detects the phase reversals of received signals without requiring channel equalization and the local modem uses this information for system setup.
