1. An information storage media including information stored thereon that, in response to execution of the information, causes one or more modules of a multicarrier communication system to perform a variable state length initialization, including:
- a transmission, from a first multicarrier transceiver to a second multicarrier transceiver, of information identifying a first value that is used to determine a first minimum number of multicarrier symbols;
a transmission, from the second multicarrier transceiver to the first multicarrier transceiver, of information identifying a second value that is used to determine a second minimum number of multicarrier symbols;
a selection, by the first multicarrier transceiver, of the greater of the first minimum number of multicarrier symbols and the second minimum number of multicarrier symbols; and
a transmission, from the first multicarrier transceiver to the second multicarrier transceiver, of the selected number of multicarrier symbols during an 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.
