Abstract
An exemplary method and apparatus are provided for transferring data from a central unit in a network to a subscriber-sided network termination unit via a distribution network that connects the central unit with the subscriber-sided network termination unit and multiple of other subscriber-sided network termination units. Measures for providing correct data transmissions, such as scrambling or forward error correction, are applied to the data for the single subscriber-sided network termination unit before the data are combined with data for other subscriber-sided network termination units. As a consequence, there is no longer a need to completely process the transferred data at each and every subscriber-sided network termination unit.
