Systems and methods for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
multipoint-to-point communications systems are provided. In one
embodiment, a method comprises: establishing communication between a
first remote unit of a plurality of remote units and a host unit, the
plurality of remote units communicatively coupled to the host unit in a
multipoint-to-point configuration; receiving an address code assignment
from the host unit, the address code to be used in communicating with the
host unit, wherein the address code is unique among the plurality of
remote units; and transmitting up to a plurality of tones from the first
remote unit, the up to a plurality of tones modulated with upstream
information using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing.
