Abstract

A method of communicating across a channel includes receiving information having a known bandwidth and a known spectrum. The information is preferably in the form of a multicarrier modulated signal, e.g., a DMT signal. In one aspect, this information is received at a receiver having a reduced channel bandwidth. An aliasing spectrum can be calculated based on the known spectrum and the frequency difference between the known bandwidth and the reduced-channel bandwidth. The received information can then be modified based upon the aliasing function to compensate for alias distortion. For example, the received information can be modified by modifying the noise component or signal-to-noise ratio of the received information.
