摘要： Configuration or otherwise controlling parameters of a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) system related to power, band usage and margin is based on collected operational data. Operational data are collected from at least one DSL system operating under a known configuration and/or a profile. A target profile is selected based on binder-level information. The collected operational data is analyzed and conditions for changing the DSL system configuration to the target profile are evaluated, including any applicable transition rules pertaining to changing profiles. If the conditions hold, then the DSL system is instructed to operate with the target profile. Binder-level information can include deployment point information, topology information, and/or crosstalk coupling information. The controlled parameters may have values that are chosen using one or more spectrum balancing methods. Such spectrum balancing methods may be executed infrequently, and may make use of all binder-level information that is available.

摘要： Controlling margins in a DSL modem pair is based on collected operational data. The operational data is analysed and at least one of the modems in the modem pair is instructed to use a margin-related parameter value to assist the modem pair in meeting a margin target, such as a margin limit imposed by a DSL standard or the like. A controller, such as a DSM Center, a "smart" modem unit and/or a computer system can collect and analyse the operational data and generate one or more margin-related parameter values. The margin-related parameter value may be a PSD-related value, such as the MAXNOMPSD, MAXNOMATP or PSDMASK parameter used by various ADSL systems, and may be a shaped spectral mask and/or caps or limits on bit loading for use in transmissions between the modems. In some cases, preference bands can be imposed to direct modems to favour and/or avoid certain frequencies in the modem's usable band(s). The operational data may include historical data relating to prior performance of the modem pair and prior margin compliance. A distribution of margins also may be based on operational data and may be estimated as a function of data rate. Using the estimated margin distribution, a distribution of performance parameters also is calculated, including the probabilities of line outages and probabilities of one or more error parameters exceeding minimum levels. Data rates and/or performance-related parameters may be set on the basis of the estimated performance of the system using various margin settings and levels.

The broadband communication network management device is to perform analysis on this information. The alternate communications device is to receive from the broadband communication network management device, via the alternate communication path, new diagnostic information and new configuration information about the broadband connection responsive to the broadband communication network management device performing the analysis.

摘要： Described are systems and methods for implementing and operating a Device Abstraction Proxy (DAP). In one embodiment, the DAP includes a communications interface to connect the DAP to one or more access aggregation devices, each having a plurality of physical ports to provide Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) communication services to a plurality of remote DSL terminals via the plurality of physical ports. The DAP may further include a memory and processor to execute a virtual access aggregation device, in which a subset of the plurality of physical ports are allocated and linked to corresponding logical ports. The DAP may further include a global rule-set module to define operational constraints for the DSL communication services, and a management interface to allow at least one broadband access management system to manage the subset of physical ports allocated to the virtual access aggregation device subject to the operational constraints. The DAP may further include a Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) module to apply optimization techniques for reducing cross-talk among lines traversing a common binder by reducing transmit power or assigning communication spectrums to lines that are less likely to create interference noise. An interface at the DAP receives operational data from DSL Access Multipliers (DSLAMS).

摘要： A probing signal transmitted on a twisted pair telephone line in a DSL system is reflected and received at a DSL device. An estimate of one of a DSL data transmission signal or DSL synch symbol transmission signal is removed from the received probing signal to recover the reflected probing signal. The recovered reflected probing signal is processed to determine characteristics information of the twisted pair telephone line.
