摘要:
The invention relates to a method of managing a digital subscriber line, in particular for identifying the location of weather related faults. The invention continuously measures the signal to noise (SNR) margin on the DSL line as well as measurements from weather related sensors, such as moisture and wind sensors, which each have an associated geographical location. The SNR margin measures are compared to predetermined conditions based on SNR margin characteristics associated with a population of good lines. If the SNR margin measures fail to meet the predetermined conditions, the SNR measures are also compared to the weather sensor measurements over a day or number of days. If there is a correlation between the SNR margin measures and at least one of the sensors, then location of the fault is identified as the location of the sensor having the strongest correlation with the SNR measures.

The present invention relates to a loop qualification unit and a method thereof for determining loop parameters describing a topology of a twisted pair loop, having two ends, for a digital subscriber line system, wherein the loop parameters being represented by a vector comprising a receiving member for receiving a measurement of a SELT parameter measured at one end of said two ends and for receiving a measurement of a DELT loop transfer function measured at said two loop ends. The unit comprises a model generator for generating a model for the SELT parameter based on the loop parameters represented by the vector; a model generator for generating a model for the DELT loop transfer function based on the loop parameters represented by the vector; and a processor for determining the loop parameters represented by the vector by minimizing the diffe ren ce between the model and the measurement of the SELT parameter and by minimizing the difference between the model and the measurement of the DELT loop transfer function, whereby the determined loop parameters are represented by the vector that provides said minimizations.

[0057] Double-ended line probing (DELP) techniques are described herein that enable a loop configuration to be identified based on mathematically simple error functions, which are both time-efficient and less sensitive to measurement errors. A DELP algorithm uses readily available data about the channel that is generated prior to the modem operation (e.g., theoretical loop models) and other available data (e.g., that provided by loop diagnostic modules) to estimate the loop configuration including the line length and gauge, as well as the number of bridge taps and their gauges, lengths, and locations.

System and method for detecting and reporting an error in communications with customer premise equipment (116). A preferred embodiment comprises monitoring the communications link between an access device (120) and customer premise equipment (116) located on customer premises. If a communications link fails, or some other condition occurs, an error signal is transmitted to the access network (100) to notify downstream network elements of the error condition. In one embodiment, an access device (120) is communicatively coupled to a demarcation device (118) via an Ethernet link. If a loss of link occurs on the Ethernet link, an error signal, such as an alarm indicator signal, is transmitted through the network.
