Claims (24)

1. A method of transmitting an admission data packet through a coaxial network, comprising:

a) generating an Admission Preamble including the following symbols SS, SS, SS, SS, SS, SS, SS, SS, SS, SS, SS, SS, LS 1 , LS 1 , LS 1 , LS 1 , LS 1 , LS 1 , LS 1 , LS 1 , CP 0 , CE, CE;

b) appending the Admission Preamble to a data payload; and

c) transmitting the admission data payload and appended Admission Preamble over coaxial cable in a MoCA network;

wherein:

i) the SS symbol is defined by a 30-bit binary data input sequence,

ii) the LS 1 symbol is defined by a 64-bit binary data input sequence,

iii) CP 0 is a repeat of the end of the symbol,

iv) CE is a 256-bit binary data sequence in which each bit is modulated on one of a plurality of active sub-carriers,

v) generating comprises using the following short sequence: SS=[x001 0000 1111 1010 1101 0001 0011 101x xx00 0101 1110 0010 1101 1010 0001 00001; and

b) appending the Broadcast and Unicast Data Preamble to a data payload; and

c) transmitting the data payload and appended Broadcast and Unicast Data Preamble over a communication channel in a MoCA network;

wherein:

i) the LS 1 symbol is defined by a 64-bit binary data input sequence,

ii) CP 0 is a repeat of the end of the symbol,

iii) CE is a 256-bit binary data sequence in which each bit is modulated on one of a plurality of active sub-carriers;
