    Abstract: A method is proposed for encoding DTUs (30) in a transmitter (111; 211) for further transmission to a receiver (212; 112). Communications from the transmitter to the receiver alternate between first time sub-frames (22; 24) comprising data symbols of a first type (D2; U2) having a first data payload capacity (NDSC,MIN), and second time sub-frames (21; 23) comprising data symbols of a second type (D1; U1) having a second data payload capacity (NDSC,MAX) greater than the first data payload capacity. The method comprises encoding individual DTUs into Q block-interleaved codewords (40) for protection against communication errors, Q denoting a positive integer value; obtaining scheduling information (txsch_info) as to the types of data symbols over which the encoded DTUs (50) are to be conveyed; and enabling or disabling the further block-interleaving of a group of M consecutive encoded DTUs (60) based on the scheduling information for the respective M consecutive encoded DTUs, M denoting a positive integer value greater than one.The present invention also relates to a transmitter (111; 211) for encoding DTUs according to the method, and to a receiver (112; 212) for decoding the so-encoded DTUs.

    Abstract: A multi-line digital transceiver configured to use low-complexity beamforming on at least some tones to boost effective SNR values for selected subscriber lines. In an example embodiment, the beamforming coefficients can be restricted to one-bit values or two-bit values, e.g., such that the corresponding beamforming computations can be implemented using only sign changes, swaps of the real and imaginary parts, and/or zeroing of some values, and without invoking any full-precision hardware multiplication operations. At least some embodiments can be run on a significantly simpler and/or less powerful vectoring engine than conventional beamforming solutions while still being able to provide nearly optimal beamforming SNR gains. In some embodiments, additional scaling by powers of two may be applied to at least some signals contributing to the beamforming, e.g., to satisfy power constraints for some or all of the subscriber lines.

    Abstract: Example embodiments describe a controller comprising means for performing i) discovering a mapping between receive analogue to digital converters, RxADCs, of a full duplex node (100) and cable modems (111-113, 121-123, 131-133, 141-143) connected to the full duplex node; and wherein the cable modems share a common communication bandwidth; and ii) determining, based on the mapping, sounding groups (152, 162) by grouping cable modems (111-131, 121-123) mapped to a same RxADC (151) into a respective sounding group (152); and wherein a sounding group is indicative for an upper bound of possible interfering cable modems.

    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a transceiver includes a plurality of amplifiers configured to amplify an analog transmit signal to generate a plurality of amplified transmit signals for further transmission, a combiner configured to combine a plurality of output signals to generate a combined signal, the plurality of output signals being based on the plurality of amplified transmit signals and at least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to cause the transceiver to determine pre-distortion compensation coefficients based on the combined signal and generate a pre-distortion compensated transmit signal based on the pre-distortion compensation coefficients.
