First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- identifying at least a subset of a plurality of subcarrier(s) within a wireless channel that fail to meet a threshold channel performance metric;
deactivating the identified subset of the plurality of subcarriers; and
selectively distributing a power budget across a remaining subset of the plurality of subcarriers to provide a substantially optimal channel throughput within the given power budget.

16. An apparatus comprising:
-
a transceiver, to establish a multicarrier communication channel with a remote transceiver; and
a subcarrier management agent (SMA), coupled with the transceiver, to identify at least a subset of a plurality of subcarrier(s) within a wireless channel that fail to meet a threshold channel performance metric, deactivate the identified subset of the plurality of subcarriers, and to selectively distribute a power budget across a remaining subset of the plurality of subcarriers to provide a substantially optimal channel throughput within the given power budget. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A system comprising:
-
one or more dipole antenna(e);
a transceiver, coupled with at least a subset of the one or more antenna(e), to establish a multicarrier communication channel with a remote transceiver; and
a subcarrier management agent (SMA), coupled with the transceiver, to identify at least a subset of a plurality of subcarrier(s) within a wireless channel that fail to meet a threshold channel performance metric, deactivate the identified subset of the plurality of subcarriers, and to selectively distribute a power budget across a remaining subset of the plurality of subcarriers to provide a substantially optimal channel throughput within the given power budget. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

- 37. A storage medium comprising content which, when executed by an accessing device, enables the device to identify at least a subset of a plurality of subcarrier(s) within a wireless channel that fail to meet a threshold channel performance metric, deactivating the identified subset of the plurality of subcarriers, and to selectively distribute a power budget across a remaining subset of the plurality of subcarriers to provide a substantially optimal channel throughput within the given power budget.
