    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for managing the time slots in time division duplex (TDD) frames in an xDSL system. According to certain aspects, power savings in a TDD system operating with vectoring may be achieved with sending of quiet symbols in time slots that do not have data and through the efficient configuration of time slots with data and/or idle symbols so as to limit the amount of processing by the vectoring engine within the DO portion of each TDD frame. In embodiments, a central controller in a DPU monitors the data buffers at the transmitter input on each line and computes an optimal configuration of the time slots in the DO portion of the TDD frame to achieve an optimal balance between performance and power dissipation.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for sensing noise sources in a wireline communications environment such as a customer premises environment in a DSL system. In embodiments, the invention includes an additional sensor that is connected to power mains in a DSL customer premises environment either to characterize, at their source, noises coupling into the DSL lines, and/or to mitigate their impact into the DSL lines. One objective is associated with diagnostics that help to better characterize the noise signals themselves and derive correlation of signals sensed from the power mains and their possible projection onto the DSL line. Another objective makes use of these power line sensor signals to mitigate or to eliminate power line noises that make their way onto the DSL line. Example embodiments further include and exploit signals from additional secondary sensors such as secondary common mode, differential mode and phantom mode sensors.

    摘要: According to certain general aspects, the present invention relates to methods for transmitting signals on twisted wire-pairs above 30 MHz using frequency division duplexing (FDD) in support of 1 Gb/s aggregate services on short loop lengths while maintaining spectral compatibility with legacy ADSL2 (≦2.2 MHz bandwidth) and VDSL2 services (≦30 MHz bandwidth). An advantage of the FDD approach for Gb/s transmission according to the invention is spectral compatibility with legacy DSL services without the sacrifice of any capacity of the wider band.

    摘要: In general, the present invention provides methods and apparatuses for exploiting the extra degree of freedom provided by the sensing of the CM signal along with the DM signal at the receiver end of a wireline communication system. According to certain aspects, this extra degree of freedom can be used to cancel alien noises at the receiver in both upstream downstream directions. According to further aspects, a CM channel can be potentially used to exploit the diversity created in the CM channel along with the regular DM channel. This acts as the motivation for employing a diversity receiver scheme at the receiver, especially in downstream communications received at a Customer Premises.

    摘要: A vector DSL system includes a plurality of modems, which may be multi-port devices. Unprocessed user data is extracted from the modems and passed through a private vectoring data routing apparatus to one or more vectoring modules, such as vectoring cards. Each vectoring module includes one or more vector processors that include processing units configured to process the unprocessed user data on the basis of all modems' data for a given DSL tone grouping. Processing of the unprocessed user data removes the effects of FEXT from upstream and downstream user data and returns the processed user data to the modems using the vectoring data routing apparatus, which can be a specialized data transmission network utilizing one or more vector routers.
