Abstract

A communication network having a first broadband communications channel or transmitting bus and a second broadband communications channel or receiving bus, wherein the first broadband communications channel is for passing information upstream to a head end and the second broadband communications channel is for passing information downstream from the head end to remote nodes. All nodes of the system are coupled to both the first communications channel and the second communications channel. According to the invention, modulation of signals applied to the first communication channel is optimized for burst communication from a plurality of sources to central control at the head end, and modulation applied to the second communications channel is optimized for continuous communication from the central source to a target node.
