Abstract
Techniques (e.g., method, apparatuses, etc.) for permitting communications, e.g., optical communications are described. In one example, a first communication apparatus may send a bit allocation table, BAT, message, to a second communication apparatus. The BAT update information has a BAT update information signalling update information for updating a BAT which is signalled to be updated. The BAT update information groups information into different groups of subcarriers, wherein the BAT update information has, for each group of subcarriers, information indicating the number of carriers in the group.
Claims20
A first communication apparatus for communicating with a second communication apparatus, the first communication apparatus being to send a bit allocation table, BAT, message,
- wherein the BAT update information comprises a BAT update information signalling update information for updating a BAT which is signalled to be updated,
- wherein the BAT update information groups information into different groups of subcarriers, wherein the BAT update information comprises, for each group of subcarriers, information indicating the number of carriers in the group.
A second communication apparatus for communicating with a first communication apparatus, the second communication apparatus being to receive a bit allocation table, BAT, message,
- wherein the BAT update information comprises a BAT update information signalling update information for updating a BAT which is signalled to be updated,
- wherein the BAT update information groups information into different groups of subcarriers, wherein the BAT update information comprises, for each group of subcarriers, information indicating the number of carriers in the group.
A method for communicating between a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus, the first communication apparatus being to send a bit allocation table, BAT, message,
- wherein the BAT update information comprises a BAT update information signalling update information for updating a BAT which is signalled to be updated,
- wherein the BAT update information groups information into different groups of subcarriers, wherein the BAT update information comprises, for each group of subcarriers, information indicating the number of carriers in the group.
