The present invention is directed to implementing theoretical foundations of frequency domain methods aiming to locally decrease the impact of aggregate side lobes of a few discrete frequency tones, in the vicinity of other 'victim' frequencies. The family of frequency methods referred to makes use of one or more 'canceller tones.' The &#x201c;canceller tones&#x201d; loads are optimized to minimize the aggregate power in the neighborhood of the victim frequencies. An exemplary method for decreasing an impact of aggregate side lobes of one or more discrete frequency tones in the vicinity of one or more victim tones comprises the steps of calculating an aggregate power of one or more side lobes of one or more disturber tones within a victim bandwidth; determining at least one optimal load to minimize the aggregate power wherein the at least one optimal load comprises a linear combination of the one or more disturber tones; and applying the at least one optimal load to one or more canceller tones for minimizing the impact of the one or more side lobes of the one or more disturber tones.
