摘要:
A method is described for reducing self-induced far end crosstalk (self-FEXT) in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) digital subscriber line (xDSL) system. An initial value for an off-diagonal multiple input multiple output canceller (ODMC) is derived while the ODMC is inactive and while in data mode. The method includes activating the initial ODMC and converging towards an steady-state value for the ODMC by performing an adaptive algorithm to maximize the Shannon's capacity of the system and to reduce upstream self-FEXT. Bit loading is performed and a frequency domain equalizer (FEQ) is updated.

Disclosed are various embodiments for determining a state of loop termination. One embodiment comprises receiving an un-calibrated echo signal for the loop under test using frequency domain reflectometry single-ended line testing (FDR-SELT) and determining the state of loop termination based on phase of the un-calibrated echo signal. The step of determining the state of loop termination comprises determining whether the loop is terminated by an open termination or a short termination by correlating the phase of the echo signal with an expected phase of the echo signal derived from measurements taken at the same loop length for open and short terminations. For other embodiments, the amplitude of the un-calibrated echo signal is analyzed to determine whether the loop is terminated by a matched-impedance termination.

One embodiment is a method for precoding data for transmission in a discrete multi-tone (DMT) system to cancel self-induced far end crosstalk (self-FEXT). The method comprises learning, by the system, characteristics associated with a plurality of N users within a digital subscriber line (xDSL) system to determine an initial off-diagonal multiple input multiple output (MIMO) precoder (ODMP) for a given tone frequency and converging towards an ODMP from the initial ODMP to cancel self-FEXT for the plurality of N users, wherein the ODMP is represented as a zero diagonal matrix containing only off-diagonal terms.

Systems and methods for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) at the transmitter can reduce the dynamic range required in various analog components. PAR can be reduced by applying a time-domain compensation signal in the oversampled regime, using tones reserved for PAR reduction. A set of vectors corresponding to PAR tones is generated by processing out-of-phase symbols for each PAR tone to form a span matrix. The span matrix is used to find a best fit of a desired target signal to a time-domain compensation signal comprising only PAR tones.

One embodiment is a method that comprises determining a first set of function values relating to a per-tone signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a user among a plurality of users for a number of tones, wherein the number of tones is less than or equal to a total number of tones available for transmission. The method further comprises estimating coefficients for performing FEXT mitigation for the number of tones, performing FEXT mitigation on the number of tones based on the estimated coefficients, and performing FEXT mitigation on a selected group of tones from among the number of tones, wherein the selected group of tones is less than or equal to the number tones.
摘要:
Impulse noise from nearby or intense electrical sources can disrupt communications over digital subscriber lines (DSL). The characterization of the nature, timing and length of impulse noise sources present on a DSL loop is a critical first step in mitigating the effect of impulse noise on DSL communications. DSL standards provide histograms for impulse length and inter-arrival time of impulses. These histograms can be used to derive the nature, maximum frequency and other statistics related to impulse noise on a DSL line.
