Abstract
Improved initialization techniques for initializing data transfer between a pair of transceivers in a multicarrier modulation transmission system are disclosed. The multicarrier modulation transmission system normally includes a central office and a remote unit, with the central office having at least one transceiver and the remote unit having a transceiver. For each pair of transceivers, the transceiver at either the central office or the remote unit controls the determining of bit allocations for both upstream and downstream data transmissions without assistance from the other transceiver of the pair. The initialization processing for the pair of transceivers is thus performed efficiently and with better centralized control.
