Patent Images
1. In multicarrier communication system including a first multicarrier transceiver and a second multicarrier transceiver, a method for variable state length initialization comprising:
- transmitting from the first multicarrier transceiver to the second multicarrier transceiver information identifying a minimum number of multicarrier symbols in an initialization state;
transmitting from the first multicarrier transceiver to the second multicarrier transceiver at least the minimum number of multicarrier symbols during the initialization state; and
transmitting a predefined signal from the second multicarrier transceiver to the first multicarrier transceiver allowing the first multicarrier transceiver to exit the initialization state and enter a new initialization state, wherein the predefined signal is sent from the second multicarrier transceiver to the first multicarrier transceiver after the second multicarrier transceiver receives at least the minimum number of multicarrier symbols in the initialization state.

Abstract
Through the use of a variable state length initialization, both the transmitter and the receiver can have control of the length of one or more initialization states. For example, a transmitter can send information, such as a message, to the receiver at the commencement of, during initialization or prior to entering a variable length initialization state. The information can specify, for example, a minimum length of an initialization state as needed by the transmitter.
