Abstract

A communication system is described. The communication system includes a distribution network between a head end terminal and at least one remote unit. The head end terminal receives upstream telephony and control data modulated on a plurality of orthogonal carriers in a frequency bandwidth over the distribution network. The head end terminal includes a polyphase filter that filters at least the upstream telephony data to provide ingress protection for the modulated orthogonal carriers. The communication further includes a service unit multicarrier modem associated with the at least one remote unit and operatively connected to the distribution network for modulating at least upstream telephony information on at least one carrier orthogonal at the head end terminal to at least one other carrier in the frequency bandwidth.
