Abstract
An apparatus and method is disclosed with a circuit selecting a first number of transmission channels from a plurality of transmission channels for a first number of transmission links, wherein the selection depends on channel capacities of the first number of transmission channels. A second number of transmission channels is selected from the plurality of transmission channels for a second number of transmission links, wherein the selection depends on channel capacities of the second number of transmission channels.
Claims26
A method, comprising:
- selecting a first number of transmission channels from a plurality of transmission channels to correspond to a first transmission link by analyzing transmission characteristics of a first number of transmission links by a first selection circuit, wherein the selection depends on channel capacities of the first number of transmission channels;
- transmitting a first signal over the selected first number of transmission channels;
- selecting a second number of transmission channels from the plurality of transmission channels to correspond to a second transmission link by analyzing transmission characteristics of a second number of transmission links by a second selection circuit, wherein the selection depends on channel capacities of the second number of transmission channels and wherein the second number of transmission links comprises a subset of the first number of transmission links associated with the plurality of transmission channels;
- and
- transmitting a second signal over the selected second number of transmission channels.

A method, comprising:
- selecting a first number of transmission channels from a plurality of transmission channels by a first selection circuit, wherein the selection depends on signal-to-noise ratios of signals transmitted over a first number of transmission links associated with the plurality of transmission channels;
- transmitting a first signal over the selected first number of transmission channels;
- selecting a second number of transmission channels from the plurality of transmission channels by a second selection circuit, wherein the selection depends on signal-to-noise ratios of signals transmitted over a second number of transmission links associated with the plurality of transmission channels and the second number of transmission links comprises a subset of the first number of transmission links;
- and
- transmitting a second signal over the selected second number of transmission channels.

A method for increasing bit rate of longer transmission links, while reducing bit rate of shorter transmission links, comprising:
- selectively choosing a number of transmission frequency channels, based upon channel capacities, for one or more transmission links, wherein the number of transmission frequency channels are chosen to allow for a transmission link transmit power that is proportional to a length of the one or more transmission links to increase transmission bit rates for longer transmission links while reducing transmission bit rates for shorter transmission links;
- and
- transmitting a signal over the chosen number of transmission frequency channels.
