System and Method for Controlling Combined Radio Signals

An apparatus for combining a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signals in a respective plurality of channels, each orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signal comprising a set of phase and/or amplitude modulated orthogonal frequency components within a channel, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive information defining each of the plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signals,
• represent the received information defining each of the plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signals as a respective plurality of orthogonal frequency signal components, wherein the information defining at least one of the plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signals is represented as a plurality of alternate sets of orthogonal frequency signal components together defining the same received information,
• analyze with respect to at least one fitness criterion a plurality of different combinations of the respective plurality of orthogonal frequency signal components representing the plurality of signals, each of the plurality of representations including respectively alternate sets of orthogonal frequency signal components of the at least one of the plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signals, and
• select a respective one of the different combinations based on the analysis;
• and
• an output port configured to present at least one of an identification of the selected combination, the selected combination, and information defining the selected combination.
