摘要： A multi-tone transceiver including: a channel controller and a plurality of components forming a transmit path and a receive path. The channel controller configured to determine bit-loading for each successive symbol or tone set based on a 1st noise margin target for a first subset of tones in each tone set dedicated to transport of a robust communications channel (RCC) and based on a 2nd noise margin target less than the 1st noise margin target for remaining tones in each tone set dedicated to a standard communications channel (SCC). The plurality of components forming the transmit and receive paths are responsive to the channel controller to select for data modulated on a given tone at least one of smaller constellations and higher gain scaling levels when the given tone corresponds to an RCC tone as compared to an SCC tone, whereby the first set of tones dedicated to the RCC exhibit greater immunity to noise variations than the remaining tones dedicated to the SCC.

摘要： An apparatus for precoding multi-tone modulated transmissions of a plurality of communication channels over bundled subscriber lines. The apparatus includes a pseudo symbol controller and a precoder. The pseudo symbol controller detects a victim communication channel and an interferer communication channel having non-matching symbol rates, and transforms the interferor channel into a pseudo-symbol having both a substantially similar length as a corresponding symbol of the victim channel together with defined tonal characteristics expressed in terms of the interferor channel. The precoder assigns crosstalk coefficients to selected sub-channels or tones of the pseudo symbol and precodes the victim channel with the pseudo symbol using the crosstalk coefficients; thereby generating a precoded victim symbol which exhibits reduced crosstalk between the selected victim and interferor.

摘要： An inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) processor processing a lower frequency image of a selected transmit band along with base images of remaining transmit bands called for in a corresponding X-DSL standard. A hybrid upconverter processing the IDFT output by generating a higher frequency replication of the imaged transmit band falling in the standards based frequency range along with the base band images of remaining transmit bands and selectively passing onto the communication medium only images or replications called for by the standards. A hybrid downconverter processing at least one of the received bands at sampling rates below Nyquist thereby creating a lower frequency image within the range of a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) processor. The hybrid downconverter clears the frequency band in which the image processed at sub-Nyquist rates will fold. The DFT then transforms only the images or replications falling within its frequency range.

摘要： The current invention provides a method and apparatus for time domain equalization in an XDSL modem. A received communication channel is analyzed to determine the highest frequency component thereof. Typically, there is an inverse relationship between the length of a subscriber line and the highest frequency component over which communications can be supported. In response to the frequency determination, the sampling rate for the channel is reduced to the lowest sample rate consistent with maintaining signal integrity on the highest frequency component of the channel. The sampling rate reduction may accomplished in the analog portion of the receive path, e.g. the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or in a digital decimator coupled thereto. Concurrently the demodulator complexity is also scaled back. Where the XDSL protocol is digital multi-tone (DMT) the input sample size to the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) engine is reduced accordingly. With these adjustments in place TEQ resources may be scaled inversely. Thus as line length increases and the available bandwidth on the subscriber line is reduced more TEQ resources are made available to deal with the increased delay interval over which intersymbol interference is evidenced. Scaling of TEQ resources may be accomplished using a TEQ architecture which allows either the length or the tap line or the delay between taps to be varied.

摘要： The apparatus for symbol boundary synchronization in one embodiment includes on the receive path of a multi-tone modem a window synchronizer, a converter and a symbol boundary component. The window synchronizer obtains windowed portions of the received datastream which includes symbols each expressed with a corresponding set of tones in a time domain. The windowed portions obtained in the training phase exhibit varying degrees of misalignment with the corresponding symbol boundaries. The window synchronizer is responsive to an alignment signal to obtain succeeding windowed portions of the incoming datastream aligned with the corresponding symbol boundaries therein. The converter couples to the window synchronizer to convert the set of tones from each windowed portion from the time domain to a frequency domain. The symbol boundary module couples to the converter to evaluate a phasor angle characteristic of selected tones from each windowed portion converted by the converter and to convert the phasor angle characteristic of the selected tones from a selected one of the windowed portions to the alignment signal to align the window synchronizer with the symbol boundaries in the received datastream. In an alternate embodiment of the invention the symbol boundary component couples to the window synchronizer to correlate sign values of the selected tones with a reference set and to output the alignment signal identifying the corresponding windowed portion which exhibits maximum correlation with the reference set to align the window synchronizer.
