摘要:
An apparatus or system for data communications that provides crosstalk cancellation is disclosed. The apparatus or system removes crosstalk interference (e.g., NEXT interference) from received signals on a given line by adaptively estimating the crosstalk interference induced by certain other of the lines having interfering transmissions and by canceling the crosstalk interference using the estimated crosstalk interference from the certain other of the lines. The invention is useful for high speed data transmissions where crosstalk interference can be a substantial impediment to proper reception of data. In particular, the invention is useful for VDSL and ADSL data transmissions using multicarrier modulation (e.g., DMT), wherein transmission frames for all lines are synchronized but the duration of the direction of transmission can vary due to differing frames.

A method and apparatus for transmitting digital sound is disclosed. The method contemplates transmitting a digital radio signal (such as an FM band signal) over a plurality of sub-channels subject to some constraints on the digital signal power. A control sub-channel, sometimes referred to as an auxiliary overhead channel is used to transmit control information which is interpreted by the receiver to identify the location and potentially the mode of the digital signals.

A transmission system includes transmit and receive paths coupled via a hybrid circuit to a bidirectional transmission path. The transmit path includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) having a given range and precision. The transmit path signal is limited and truncated to this range and precision before the DAC. In one arrangement including an echo canceller coupled between the transmit and receive paths, a difference of the transmit path signal before and after limiting and truncation is used to produce an estimated echo response which is subtracted from the receive path signal. In another arrangement, all of the inputs to the echo canceller are derived from the transmit path after the limiting and truncation. Instead, or in addition, the amplitudes of transmit path signal samples can be shaped in conjunction with the limiting. The system can in particular be an ADSL transmission system using multicarrier modulation. In such a system the amplitudes of transmit path signal samples can be scaled to reduce clipping, with an indication of the scaling being transmitted to a remote receiver.

A method of echo cancellation in a full-duplex data communication system with discrete multitone modulation, comprised of an initial step of initializing a set of frequency-domain echo parameters and a set of corresponding time-domain echo parameters, and further including the repeating steps of block multiplying a frequency-domain transmit block of a transmitted signal by the set of frequency-domain echo parameters to produce a frequency-domain echo, converting the frequency-domain transmit block to a time-domain transmit block, subtracting the end of the previous time-domain transmit block from the end of the current time-domain transmit block, performing a convolution of the adjusted time-domain transmit block and the time-domain echo parameters to produce a time-domain echo, subtracting the time-domain echo from a time-domain receive block of a received signal, converting the resulting signal to the frequency-domain to produce a frequency-domain receive block, subtracting the frequency-domain echo from the frequency-domain receive block to produce an echo-free receive block, updating the frequency-domain echo parameters by comparing the echo-free receive block to the frequency-domain transmit block, infrequently updating the time-domain echo parameters by converting the frequency-domain echo parameters to the time-domain, and repeating the repeating steps for each block of the received signal.

Adaptive FEC coding is used to adjust the codeword composition of FEC codewords in a communication system. A codeword composition ratio may be adjusted in response to variance of a measured transmission error value from a target transmission error value in the system. The codeword composition ratio may be any quantity or value that represents the relation between the payload and parity bytes in the applicable FEC coding scheme. Adjustment of the codeword composition ratio may be adjusting parameters such as the N, K and/or R values in ADSL1 systems or the INP and/or maximum interleaving delay values in ADSL2 systems. A controller may be used to monitor, analyze and adjust the various values used in adaptively managing FEC coding. The present invention may be implemented in a transmission system in which a transmitter transmits data to a receiver via a transmission channel, such as a DSL system.

Approaches to operating a multi-user, multi-carrier communication system involve allocating a target bit rate across user channels and subchannels to adjust the power. The target bit rate is allocated among subchannels of the user channels as a function of system power associated with the subchannel bit rate allocation. The target bit is allocated among user channels of the communication system as a function of system power associated with the user bit rate allocation. The power allocation for each user channel is determined based on the bit rate allocation.
