Abstract:
A client premises digital subscriber line (DSL) modem having multi-mode capability is disclosed. In initialization, the modem estimates whether channel conditions are such that digital processing of the received data according to a lower data rate DSL standard, such as ADSL2, may result in a higher effective data rate than receipt and processing according to a higher data rate DSL standard, such as ADSL2+. If so, the DSL modem configures itself, such as by configuring its filter characteristics and sampling frequency, to receive and process data according to the lower data rate DSL standard; the transmitting modem, for example at a central office or service area interface, may continue to operate according to the higher data rate standard (with its bit loading corresponding to a subset of subchannels). The receiving DSL modem processes the payload data according to the lower standard, while processing control messages according to the higher standard.
Abstract:
In at least some disclosed embodiments, a method includes receiving a burst of data out of multiple bursts of data subject to long-term frequency drift and short-term frequency drift, determining an intercept of the long-term frequency drift based on, at most, the entire burst, and compensating for the long-term drift of a subsequent burst based on the intercept. The method further includes determining a slope of the short-term frequency drift, and compensating for the short-term frequency drift of a subsequent burst based on the slope.
