Systems and methods for monitoring impulse noise are described. At least one embodiment is a method, which comprises detecting whether impulse noise is present and in response to detecting the presence of impulse noise, performing time domain analysis to determine whether one or more impulse noise sources are present based on minimum interarrival time and maximum impulse length. The method further includes performing frequency domain analysis to estimate frequencies associated with the one or more impulse noise sources and based on the time domain analysis and frequency domain analysis, providing a total number of impulse noise sources and frequencies associated with the impulse noise sources. In this regard, the embodiments described herein provide dual-speed monitoring of impulse noise in the form of short-term and long-term monitoring. The use of dual-speed monitoring ensures that dynamic changes in the impulse noise environment are quickly addressed and also ensures better characterization of multiple impulse noise sources in order to provide better impulse noise protection.

The measurement of far-end crosstalk (FEXT) in a Digital Subscriber Line communications is instrumental in the ability of using a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) pre-coder to cancel FEXT. A reliable robust back channel for transmission of error is instrumental to provide error samples for the proper operation of a MIMO pre-coder. Bins can be dedicated to insure bandwidth from the customer premises equipment (CPE) to the central office (CO). By increasing the margin used in the bins, robustness can be added to this back channel between the CPE and CO.

Systems and methods for performing loop termination are described. One embodiment is a method that comprises receiving a per-port calibrated echo signal of a loop under test, receiving a region designation and a loop length for the loop under test, and determining whether the loop is terminated by a short or open termination based on phase of the per-port calibrated echo signal.

Disclosed are various embodiments for determining a state of loop termination. One embodiment comprises receiving an un-calibrated echo signal for the loop under test using frequency domain reflectometry single-ended line testing (FDR-SELT) and determining the state of loop termination based on phase of the un-calibrated echo signal. The step of determining the state of loop termination comprises determining whether the loop is terminated by an open termination or a short termination by correlating the phase of the echo signal with an expected phase of the echo signal derived from measurements taken at the same loop length for open and short terminations. For other embodiments, the amplitude of the un-calibrated echo signal is analyzed to determine whether the loop is terminated by a matched-impedance termination.

Systems and methods for deriving parameters for frequency domain impulse noise detectors are described. At least one embodiment is a method for deriving a set of parameters associated with a frequency domain impulse noise detector. In accordance with such embodiments, the method comprises setting values for βpivot and βc, wherein βpivot and βc are values associated with a monotonic function of a ratio of a statistical parameter of disruptive noise to a statistical parameter of nominal noise. The method further comprises selecting a fixed ratio (m/M), wherein M is a number of monitored tones, and wherein m is a number of slicer error samples that must exceed a decision threshold for a symbol to be flagged as corrupted. The method also comprises selecting a plurality of values for M and computing a corresponding value of m based on the fixed ratio (m/M), calculating α based on the values of M, m, and βpivot, wherein α is a tunable scaling factor, and calculating a probability of a miss and a probability of a false alarm based on the values of M, m, βc, and α for each of the plurality of values of M. In accordance with some embodiments, the method further comprises selecting from among the plurality of values for M such that the larger of the probability of a miss and the probability of a false alarm is a predetermined scale factor less than a predetermined bit error rate (BER) at a selected value of βc in order to achieve the predetermined BER.

Systems and methods for performing loop gauge detection are described. One embodiment is a method that comprises receiving a calibrated per-port echo signal of a loop under test, receiving a loop length estimation for the loop under test, and estimating the loop gauge of the loop under test if the loop is not determined to be a long loop based on a predetermined threshold and if no bridge tap is present on the loop. In accordance with such embodiments, estimating the loop gauge of the loop under test is based on at least one of the following echo signal features: energy of the echo signal in a predetermined frequency band, information on an envelope of maxima for the echo signal, information on an envelope of minima for the echo signal, and a span of ripples on the amplitude of the echo signal.
