    Abstract: A method and apparatus for interleaving symbols from a one dimensional TDMA 802.14 or MCNS minislot or other TDMA stream into two dimensional arrays in code and time for transmission on a code division multiplexed digital data transmission system. There are two methods disclosed. The first calculates i and j values for storage in RAM as a function of the symbol index in the TDMA stream, the number of codes to be employed, the column space design parameter representing the number of columns in the array, i.e., symbol times, that could be adversely affected by burst noise, and a calculated total number of columns in the array. The result is an array in which no indices of two symbols within any column or between columns of the column space are closer together than a design parameter vertical distance. The other method is similar but interleaves on both a column space as well as a row space so as to spread out the effects of both burst noise and intercode interference so that any errors that result are within the range of the redundant ECC bits to detect and correct.

    Abstract: A method for allowing upstream channels having the same multiplexing type but different symbol rates or the same symbol rates but different multiplexing types to be transmitted on the same frequency band without interfering with each other. In particular, a method for allowing DOCSIS 1.0 TDMA only cable modems to coexist on a digital data delivery distributed system with DOCSIS 1.2 TDMA or SCDMA mode cable modems without the need for modification of the DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems or the need for the DOCSIS 1.0 modems to transmit on a different frequency. The method comprises: using a plurality of upstream channel descriptor messages transmitted from said central modem to said distributed modems to define a plurality of different upstream logical channels sharing the same frequency band, each said logical channel having either a different symbol rate but the same multiplexing type or the same multiplexing type but a different symbol rate, said upstream channel descriptor messages assigning each of said distributed modems to logical channels appropriate to the symbol rate and modulation type of said distributed modem; and, scheduling transmission bursts on each said logical channel by transmitting a bandwidth award and scheduling message for each logical channel each of which defines and controls which distributed modems on the logical channel to which the bandwidth award and scheduling message can transmit and when they can transmit, said bandwidth award and scheduling messages being coordinated by said central modem so that there is never any overlap in time between transmission bursts on different logical channels sharing the same frequency band.
