Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program is described comprising: combining first features extracted from an echo signal using a convolutional encoder of a convolutional encoder-decoder having first weights, wherein the echo signal is obtained in response to a transmission over a channel or a simulation thereof; and using a convolutional decoder of the convolutional encoder-decoder to generate an estimate of a frequency response of the channel based on the echo signal, wherein the convolutional decoder has second weights.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus including means configured to perform: obtaining a measured channel frequency response, and a measured noise power spectral density for a line of a wired network susceptible to an impairment; deriving, in case of an indication of an impairment present on the line, from the measured channel frequency response and the measured noise power spectral density, a first theoretical noise representation for the line with the impairment and a second theoretical noise representation for the line without the impairment; and determining information indicative of a location of the impairment in the line, by processing the measured noise power spectral density, the first theoretical noise representation, and the second theoretical noise representation with a neural network.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method and an apparatus for predicting the bitrate of a repaired communication channel. The method may include, generating a dataset specifying, for a plurality of communication channels, a channel frequency response of a communication channel affected by an impairment, and a channel frequency response of the communication channel non-affected by the impairment, training, based on the dataset, a machine learning model configured to predict a channel frequency response of the repaired communication channel based on the channel frequency response of the communication channel affected by an impairment.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an apparatus for monitoring a telecommunication network including one or more telecommunication channels. The apparatus includes a processor configured after executing computer code to design a convolutional neural network configured for determining an impairment type of a telecommunication channel as a function of a channel frequency response of the telecommunication channel, by selecting at least one of a number of convolutional layers, a number of filters for respective convolutional layers, and/or a size of filters for respective convolutional layers; and train the convolutional neural network based on training data specifying, for respective telecommunication channels, a channel frequency response and an associated impairment type.

Abstract: The apparatus includes a memory configured to store executable code; and a processor configured to execute the executable code and cause the apparatus to perform the operations of generating and training. The generating generates a dataset specifying, for a plurality of communication lines, i) a channel frequency response of a communication line having one or two bridged taps, and ii) a set of M lengths of bridged taps associated with the communication line, with M greater than one. The training trains, based on the dataset, a machine learning model, the machine learning model configured for determining, based on the channel frequency response of a communication line, a set of M lengths of bridged taps associated with the communication line.
