摘要:
Impulse noise from nearby or intense electrical sources can disrupt communications over digital subscriber lines. There are many methods to deal with errors produced by impulse noise sources. Forward error correction (FEC) codes such as Reed Solomon coding along with scrambling and interleaving are used to correct small errors. However, for larger errors, retransmission is favored. Retransmission can be applied at the Discrete Multi-tone symbol level thus eliminating the need to insert sequence identification into data transmission units, furthermore retransmission can also be employed to exploit the error correcting capabilities of the FEC codes. Finally, an impulse noise protection system can exploit impulse noise statistics to configure the redundancy in the FEC codes and to enable the use of blanking. Exemplary embodiments of systems described can cooperatively use impulse noise statistics to utilize retransmission, FEC and blanking to mitigate the effects of impulse noise.

Systems and methods for protecting DSL systems against impulse noise are provided. Disclosed herein are example embodiments of a retransmission technique located above the gamma interface (i.e., in the network processing layer). Such a retransmission technique can be combined with standard RS coding with standard erasure-decoding & triangular interleaving at the PMS-TC layer. Example embodiments of the technique involve using the RS code to protect against REIN noise, and using γ-layer retransmission for protecting against error events not corrected by the RS code, e.g. a SHINE noise in the presence of REIN. Both techniques are used jointly in the case of combined REIN and SHINE noise.

Systems and methods for deriving parameters for frequency domain impulse noise detectors are described. At least one embodiment is a method for deriving a set of parameters associated with a frequency domain impulse noise detector. In accordance with such embodiments, the method comprises setting values for βpivot and βc, wherein βpivot and βc are values associated with a monotonic function of a ratio of a statistical parameter of disruptive noise to a statistical parameter of nominal noise. The method further comprises selecting a fixed ratio (m/M), wherein M is a number of monitored tones, and wherein m is a number of slicer error samples that must exceed a decision threshold for a symbol to be flagged as corrupted. The method also comprises selecting a plurality of values for M and computing a corresponding value of m based on the fixed ratio (m/M), calculating α based on the values of M, m, and βpivot, wherein α is a tunable scaling factor, and calculating a probability of a miss and a probability of a false alarm based on the values of M, m, βc, and α for each of the plurality of values of M. In accordance with some embodiments, the method further comprises selecting from among the plurality of values for M such that the larger of the probability of a miss and the probability of a false alarm is a predetermined scale factor less than a predetermined bit error rate (BER) at a selected value of βc in order to achieve the predetermined BER.
