A cable mode includes a processor configured to receive fractional OFDM offset frequency spacing parameter and locations of CWT tone signals relative to locations of scattered pilot signals across an OFDM channel. The processor inserts pairs of CWT tone signals relative to the locations of the scattered pilot signals. The CWT tone signals are offset from each of the scattered pilot signals by a positive offset frequency and a negative offset frequency based on the fractional OFDM offset frequency spacing parameters. The CWT tone signals are transmitted in an upstream full duplex (FDX) subband. The CWT tone signals are processed to determine an average value of a Receive Modulation Error Ratio (RxMER) over a period of time in order to determine assigns of cable modems to interference groups.
