Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for assigning transmission resources () to communications between an access node () and a plurality of subscriber devices (to) coupled to a shared transmission medium. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the method comprises characterizing interference between respective ones of the plurality of subscriber devices over the shared transmission medium, grouping highly-interfering subscriber devices into respective interfering groups (GGGG) based on the so-characterized interference, and assigning disjoint transmission time intervals to upstream communication from any one subscriber device of any one interfering group and to downstream communication towards any other subscriber device of the same interfering group. The present invention also relates to a resource controller.
