    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, the method includes inserting a plurality of crosstalk probing signals within the wired multi-carrier communication system for probing the crosstalk from respective ones of the plurality of disturber lines into the victim line, carrying out crosstalk measurements over the victim line, and estimating the crosstalk coefficients from the crosstalk measurements. The method further includes organizing the plurality of disturber lines into subsets of disturber lines, and individually assigning disjoint groups of carriers to the respective subsets of disturber lines. The insertion of the plurality of crosstalk probing signals is confined within the respectively assigned groups of carriers. The subsets of disturber lines and/or the groups of carriers used for a second or subsequent iteration are tailored based on crosstalk characteristics observed for the respective disturber lines during a pervious iteration.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, the method includes determining a second sequence of numbers of digits for encoding the respective integer coefficient values of the first sequence, the second sequence including, as first element, a first number of digits for encoding the first integer coefficient value of the first sequence, and as second and subsequent elements, constrained numbers of digits that are greater than or equal to respective minimum required numbers of digits for encoding the second and subsequent integer coefficient values of the first sequence. The constrained numbers of digits are such that any two successive elements of the second sequence do not differ from each other by more than a given threshold value. The method further includes encoding difference values between the successive elements of the second sequence; and encoding the integer coefficient values of the first sequence using the respective numbers of digits of the second sequence.

    Abstract: A vectoring controller for configuring a vectoring processor that jointly processes DMT communication signals to be transmitted over, or received from, a plurality of N subscriber lines according to a vectoring matrix. In accordance with an embodiment, the vectoring controller is configured, for given ones of a plurality of tones, to enable the given tone for direct data communication over a first set of N−Mk targeted lines out of the plurality of N subscriber lines, and to disable the given tone for direct data communication over a second disjoint set of Mk supporting lines out of the plurality of N subscriber lines, Mk denoting a non-null positive integer. The vectoring controller is further configured to configure the vectoring matrix to use an available transmit or receive power at the given tone over the second set of Mk supporting lines for further enhancement of data signal gains at the given tone over the first set of N−Mk targeted lines.

    Abstract: At least one crosstalk probing sequence out of a set of orthogonal crosstalk probing sequences is assigned to the at least one respective disturber line for modulation at the given carrier frequency of at least one respective sequence of crosstalk probing symbols, and error samples are successively measured by a receiver coupled to the victim line at the given carrier frequency while the at least one sequence of crosstalk probing symbols are being transmitted over the at least one respective disturber line are fed back for crosstalk estimation. The received error samples are next correlated with at least one unassigned crosstalk probing sequence out of the set of orthogonal crosstalk probing sequences for detection of a demapping error in the received error samples.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, the vectoring controller is configured to iterate through successive crosstalk acquisition cycles and, within respective ones of the crosstalk acquisition cycles, to configure sequences of crosstalk probing symbols for transmission over the respective communication lines, to receive sequences of error samples as successively measured by respective receivers coupled to the respective communication lines while the sequences of crosstalk probing symbols are being transmitted, and to determine crosstalk estimates between the respective communication lines based on the sequences of error samples. The vectoring controller is further configured to randomize the successive sequences of crosstalk probing symbols used during the successive crosstalk acquisition cycles, and to iteratively configure the vectoring processor based on the successive crosstalk estimates.

    Abstract: A vectoring controller is configured to determine first coefficient values for a vectoring matrix at a first tone based on a first number of iterations through an iterative update algorithm and a first channel matrix estimate at the first tone, and to determine second coefficient values for the vectoring matrix at a second neighboring tone based on a second number of iterations through the iterative update algorithm and a second channel matrix estimate at the second tone. The vectoring controller is configured to start with the first coefficient values as initial values for the respective second coefficient values in the iterative update algorithm. The second number of iterations is lower than or equal to the first number of iterations.
