摘要:
Provided is a system and method for a modem including one or more processing paths. Also included is a number of interconnected modules sequentially arrayed along the one or more paths. Each module is configured to (i) process signals passed along the paths in accordance with the sequence and (ii) implement predetermined functions to perform the processing. Further, each of the modules has a particular degree of functional programmability and the degrees of functional programmability monotonically vary in accordance with the sequence.

Training signals can be chosen based on stored prior connection information to reduce the use of extra tones in transmitted training signals and thereby improve receiver performance. By choosing training signals based on the stored prior connection information, it is possible to make the training signals indirectly a function of the loop impairments. One advantage of this scheme is that we can choose to omit certain tones in the training signals, based on previous connection information, on a loop-by-loop basis. For example, in an ADSL Transceiver Unit-Central office end (ATU-C) device, per-local-loop prior connection information may be employed to select DMT tones to be included in downstream training signals. Similarly, in an ADSL Transceiver Unit-Remote terminal end (ATU-R) device, prior connection information may be employed to select DMT tones to be included in upstream training signals. In each case, local echoes are effectively reduced and local receiver training is improved without affecting eventual data transmission performance in the other direction. As a result, higher AGC gain and higher signal-to-quantization-noise ratios can be achieved, especially in the case of long loops. These benefits can allow (1) improvements in the loop performance in the receiving direction and/or (2) reductions in the requirements on the receiving ADC. In addition, crosstalks into the other wire pairs, especially those in the same bundle, are also reduced, improving the transmission environment on those pairs.
摘要:
An optical signal receiver tracks local oscillator frequency offset (LOFO) and compensates for the phase distortion introduced in the received signals as a result of utilizing the local oscillator within a coherent detection scheme. This phase distortion is basically a constant phase rotation caused by the LOFO and implementation of the receiver using coherent detection and a digital interferometer instead of a conventional (yet complex) carrier phase estimation or recovery scheme. With an optical receiver implemented in this manner, the requirement of using a precise local oscillator laser with low frequency offset is less important.

In a DMT based system, training signals can be chosen based on stored prior connection information to reduce using extra tones in transmitted training signals to improve receiver performance. By choosing training signals based on the stored prior connection information, training signals may be made to indirectly represent a function of the loop impairments. Certain training signal tones in the training signals may be omitted, based on previous connection information, on a loop-by-loop basis. Local echoes are effectively reduced and local receiver training is improved without affecting eventual data transmission performance. Higher AGC gain and higher signal-to-quantization-noise ratios can be achieved, especially in the case of long loops. These benefits can allow (1) improvements in the loop performance in the receiving direction and/or (2) reductions in the requirements on the receiving ADC. Crosstalks into other wire pairs of a bundle, are reduced, improving the transmission environment on those pairs.
