Apparatuses and methods for enhancing flexibility and capacity in a provisioning of communication services utilizing a fiber medium

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, via a fiber, first data from a first user equipment using a first secondary subcarrier included in a first plurality of secondary subcarriers, the first plurality of secondary subcarriers being included as part of a first primary subcarrier;
• and
• transmitting, via the fiber, second data to a second user equipment using a second secondary subcarrier included in a second plurality of secondary subcarriers, the second plurality of secondary subcarriers being included as part of a second primary subcarrier that is different from the first primary subcarrier.

A method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing system including a processor and via a fiber, first data as part of an execution of a first application by tuning to a first secondary subcarrier included in a first plurality of secondary subcarriers;
• and
• obtaining, by the processing system and via the fiber, second data as part of an execution of a second application by tuning to a second secondary subcarrier included in the first plurality of secondary subcarriers, the second secondary subcarrier being different from the first secondary subcarrier.
