    Abstract: A set of complex rotations are used to implement a unitary “Q” matrix that can arise in various transmitters and/or receivers in communication line vectoring. Each complex rotation is a set of real rotations, where the minimum number of real rotations to perform the complex rotation is three, and where the minimum number of angles to characterize the real rotations is two. An order of rotations is also provided. The invention assists in the efficient implementation of any unitary “Q” matrix in a QR or other sophisticated matrix factorization. A complex form of the so-called “Givens” implementation of the Q matrix is characterized in terms of a sequence of complex rotations that can implemented using a complex rotor computational unit that accepts a minimum of two real angles and a pair of integer indices for each of a set of successive complex rotor calculations and then implements the complex rotation as a series of a minimum of three real rotations with one real angle used twice and the other real angle used once, providing two complex outputs (that is, two rotated data entries from a data vector comprising indexed communication data) for two complex inputs (two original data entries from a data vector comprising indexed communication data). The index-angle sets for each successive rotation can be provided by a complex rotor calculation unit, which may be collocated with the complex rotor computational unit, located in a controller such as a DSL optimizer, or located in any other suitable device or apparatus that has performed the QR factorization upon supplied matrix MIMO transfer functions for the vectored channel.

    Abstract: Information is sent by a DSL system component using a non-disruptive operational data parameter. One or more bits of the non-disruptive operational data parameter are used to send other information. In some instances the selected parameter will be an unused parameter, such as an unused fast operational mode or interleaved operational mode parameter used to report operational data in a DSL system. In one embodiment of the invention, a remote modem provides a unique equipment identifier that can be paired with the telephone number on which the modem is operating. Verification of and/or searching for the correct pairing of telephone number and unique equipment identifier can be performed as well.

    Abstract: A DSL or other communication system includes a modem or other communication device having at least one antenna that is configured to collect interference data relating to interference noise affecting communication signals being received by the communication device. The interference may include RF interference, such as AM radio interference, crosstalk and other types of interference from various sources. The interference data collected by the antenna is used by an interference canceller to remove and/or cancel some or all of the interference affecting received signals. In some embodiments of the present invention, more than one antenna may be used, wherein each antenna can collect interference data pertaining to a single source of interference noise. Where a modem or other communication device is coupled to multiple telephone lines, only one of which is being used as the active DSL line, wires in the remaining telephone lines or loops can be used as antennas. Moreover, the antenna may be an antenna, per se, such as a compact AM radio antenna or any other suitable structure or device for collecting the type(s) of interference affecting signals received by the communication device.

    Abstract: Control of a digital communication system having a plurality of communication lines on which signals are transmitted and received is implemented using a variety of methods and systems. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method is implemented where the signals are affected by interference during transmission and each of the communication lines has at least one transmitter and at least one receiver. A model is created of the interference characteristics due to the signals carried on the communication lines. Interference characteristics for a line are determined based on the model and actual signals carried on other communication lines different from the line for which the characteristics are being determined. Actual interference is compensated for on the communication line using the determined interference characteristics.

    Abstract: A self-learning and/or self-adjusting communication controller and/or optimizer uses operational data collected from a communication system to adjust operation of the communication system to changing operational, environmental, etc. conditions and, in some embodiments, to customize operation of the communication system's lines and components so that their performance can be controlled, improved and/or optimized. In various embodiments, operational parameters and/or rules are established and/or adjusted based on information obtained from the system concerning the system's operation; information regarding margins used by a DSL system and code violation counts reported by the DSL system are used to set margin levels for one or more line sets (each line set including an individual line, a group of lines, a binder, etc.) and/or other users and/or components of the DSL system; and, the controller and/or optimizer forces a small number of test lines into as yet unexperienced and/or unimplemented operational conditions so that new knowledge can be obtained.

    Abstract: Precoding mitigates or removes interference signals (especially crosstalk) among multiple users with interconnected transmitters in vectored DSL systems and the like. Efficient implementation is provided of the R matrix in RQ factorization that characterizes multi-user downstream vector channels (such as DMT VDSL one-sided or two-sided transmission channels). A set of precoder coefficients can vary with each tone used by each user and depend upon the encoding order of users selected for each tone. In adaptive operation, the coefficients of the R and Q matrices can be updated when changes occur to the transmission environment. Variable modulo arithmetic mitigates the power-enhancement problem, and the base of modular arithmetic also can vary with each user within a single precoder for a single tone. The user order of preceding need not be the same on each tone, and the modular arithmetic progression may thus also be different on each tone because multi-user situations create an unusual situation for precoding in that the modulo arithmetic used for each user can be different (thus imposing a larger power increase) and because digital duplexed or synchronized DMT systems can separately implement a precoder for each tone. Further, the precoding process terminates each DMT symbol, after processing up to the total number of users. An optional dither signal, known to both transmitter and receiver, can be added at the transmit side and removed at the receiver side to smooth the precoding process and ensure that aberrations in the transmitted constellation size and characteristics are consistent despite any unusual variations in the feedback signal that exits the feedback filter matrix G before being subtracted from the user signal of interest. Some embodiments use a “subtraction only” mode while other embodiments use a dither signal and/or modulo arithmetic, though embodiments of the present invention do not require use of identical constellations by both transmitter and receiver.
