    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses of using a novel transmit signal that can be used to improve performance of various loop diagnostic features of SELT. In embodiments, a novel transmit signal uses a wide contiguous band of tones that includes frequencies in both upstream and downstream bands. In these and other embodiments of the invention, the SELT transmit signal is designed such that any crosstalk noise in adjacent lines appears as a burst of noise that falls within the limits of the FEC settings of the system such that it can be fully corrected without harming the performance of modems connected on the adjacent lines.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and apparatus to detect a missing micro-filter. In embodiments, the detection is performed by measuring the distortion caused by an unfiltered telephone device using a SELT (Single Ended Line Test) technique. According to certain aspects, the signal used to perform the distortion measurement is designed such that it causes minimal impact on vectored lines within the same cable. Embodiments of the invention first determines the estimated loop length, then uses the loop length to select a set of signal parameters that will be used to perform the distortion measurement. The parameters to be selected include transmit frequency band and PSD level. According to further aspects, embodiments of the invention include automatically running a missing filter test immediately following a line drop to determine if the line drop was caused by a missing micro-filter.

    摘要: Residual FEXT resulting from intended and/or inherent partial cancellation of crosstalk in vectored DSL systems impairs upstream power back-off (UPBO) as traditionally implemented. By considering and taking into account the effects of residual crosstalk on vectored DSL system performance and operation, improved data rates and/or other vectored DSL system performance are realized through the use of UPBO parameters generated for a given residual FEXT environment.

    摘要: In general, the present invention relates to systems and methods to facilitate timing recovery and loop timing operations in a TDD communication system with significantly varying intervals of inactivity between periods of transmission. According to certain aspects, to facilitate timing recovery, embodiments of the invention define a maximum period of inactivity for each mode of transmission and associated “timing keep alive” signals during and/or between transmissions to assist the timing recovery function in the receiver. In embodiments, the receiver selects the desired format of the “timing keep alive” signal. According to further aspects, the timing recovery mechanisms of the invention maintain power saving objectives of G.fast, where power dissipation varies near linearly with traffic demand.

    摘要: A vectored DSL system reduces or eliminates correlated alien interference in active DSL lines in the vectored system by collecting pseudo signals from inactive lines that do not carry upstream DSL transmissions and/or from common-mode voltage signals from active lines. The collected pseudo signals contain in-domain interference, such as FEXT interference from the active DSL lines in the vectored system, and correlated alien interference. After removing the in-domain interference from the pseudo signals, the remaining alien interference data can be used to generate FEXT cancellation coefficients or the like that are used in DSL vectoring to remove the correlated alien interference from upstream DSL user signals from the active DSL lines. The generated FEXT cancellation coefficients are used in a manner analogous to in-domain FEXT data collected from the active lines during training, tracking, etc.

    摘要: Techniques are described for reducing shared cache memory requests in a multi-threaded microprocessor-based system. One method includes receiving a request for data from a thread, identifying that the request correlates with a pending request associated with a different thread, combining the request with the pending request based on the identifying, and receiving the data after the combining, the receiving being based on the pending request. In some examples, the request may be associated with an address of a cache line in a cache memory.
