1. A method of providing a recovery channel for a common transmission network of remote devices comprising:

  • encoding data that contains information about a primary carrier signal using an encoder;

    modulating the encoded information using a modulator;

    spreading, using a spreader, the modulated encoded information such that a secondary carrier signal results;

    combining, using an embedding device, the spread secondary carrier with the primary carrier signal such that the spread secondary carrier signal occupies at least a portion of a bandwidth of the primary carrier signal;

    transmitting the combined primary and secondary carrier signals across a communications link having a plurality of remote carrier signals also being transmitted across the communications link to a remote receiver and sharing a same bandwidth pool as the primary and secondary carrier signals, wherein the secondary carrier signal is independent of use of a spectrum across the communications link by the primary carrier signal or plurality of remote carrier signals; and

    reestablishing the communications link with the primary carrier signal after a loss of the communications link between the transmitter of the primary carrier signal and the remote receiver using the information about the primary carrier signal contained in the secondary carrier signal to recover one or more network configuration parameters.
