ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for bidirectional communication are provided. In one embodiment, a method for aligning communications from a plurality of remote units in a multipoint-to-point orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) communications comprises sending a first signal from a host unit to a first remote unit; receiving a second signal transmitted from the first remote unit in response to the first signal; generating at least one timing adjustment signal based at least in part on a round trip delay between the sending of the first signal and the receiving of the second signal; transmitting the timing adjustment signal to the first remote unit; wherein the timing adjustment signal instructs the first remote unit to delay OFDM transmission of data to improve alignment of multiframes at the host unit when communications are received at the host unit from the plurality of remote units.
