摘要:
Interpretation systems for interpreting reflectometry information are provided with modules for making interpretations, with each module comprising a generating module-part, a testing module-part, and a debugging module-part, and with one module being a generating system-part for a next module and with said next module being a testing system-part and a debugging system-part for said one module, to introduce improved intelligence. These interpretation systems have double-level Generate-Test-Debug (GTD) structures, two at module level as well as one at system level. This improved intelligence can be further improved by introducing a third module resulting in three GTD structures at module level and two GTD structures at system level. Interpretations are pulse-based, energy-based, simulation-based for rough, medium, and precise interpretation for increasing the efficiency of the improved intelligence.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for modeling a network are described in which a 1 port measurement is made on the network by inputting an excitation signal at one port of the network and recording the results reflected back to the port. A 1 port parametric model of the network is generated whereby as much information about the topology of the network is included in calculating initial values of the parameters. Then the values of the parameters of the 1 port parametric model are optimized by reducing the difference between the results of the measurement step and results calculated using the 1-port parametric model and the excitation signal.

Methods for matching adaptive hybrids (15) to lines (16) for making reflectograms of the lines (16) measure (1) input impedances (Zmeas) of the lines (16), model (2) characteristic impedances of the lines (16) via physical models (Zphymod), estimate (3) parameters of the physical models (Zphymod) via cost functions which depend on the measured input impedances (Zmeas), convert (30) the modelled characteristic impedances into impedance values (13), and set (31) the adaptive hybrids (15) with the impedance values (13). Unwanted near-end reflections are minimised and wanted reflections can be measured. The physical models depend on frequencies s, Bessel functions Ji and parameters ai related to geometrical dimensions A, D and L and material constants σ, ε and μ of the lines (16). The method may further model (6) characteristic impedances of the lines (16) via rational function models (Zrafumod) and estimate (7) parameters of the rational function models (Zrafumod) via further cost functions which depend on outcomes of the physical models (Zphymod).
摘要:
In the process of estimating attributes of a transmission line from reflectometry measurements, small yet important reflections may be drowned in the immediate reflected signal owing to the mismatch between the reference impedance with respect to which the 1-port scattering parameter of the line has been determined and the characteristic impedance of the line.The major part of the near-end reflections are eliminated by estimating the characteristic impedance of the line, and by converting the 1-port scattering parameter of the line from the reference impedance base to the estimated characteristic impedance base.However, there is still a residual influence of the near-end reflections. It is then highly necessary to determine a time zone wherein the residual near-end reflections are enclosed so as their contribution is further neutralized in the process of estimating attributes of the transmission line.
摘要:
In the course of a reflectometry-based qualification procedure of a local loop, which connects customer premises to a central office of a telecommunication network, and in the event of being unable to identify the loop termination associated with the customer premises, a second reflectometry measurement of the local loop is carried out with a different impedance load at the customer premises. Next, the two reflectograms are compared with each other in the time domain in order to delineate among all the reflections those at the customer premises and to determine therefrom the position of the customer premises in the local loop.

摘要:
A method for determining crosstalk coupling between a plurality of transmission lines in digital data transmission systems, in particular DSL networks. Firstly, at least one test signal (TS) is generated having a unique identification code (UIC) in the frequency domain (f), said code (UIC) being associated with a first transmission line. Then, the test signal (TS) is sent on the first transmission line. At least a second transmission line is monitored for detecting a crosstalk signal. It is determined whether the crosstalk signal is caused by the test signal (TS) of the first transmission line by means of a signature of the unique identification code (UIC) comprised in the crosstalk signal. In this way crosstalk between individual transmission lines can be determined without having to have recourse to conservative worst case assumptions. The method can adapt dynamically to a changing user/transmission environment, while obtaining unique crosstalk determination results at all times.

摘要:
A crosstalk agent for integration in or connection to an access node (DSLAM) automatically gathers quantitative information indicative for the crosstalk coupling between lines (LINE1, LINE2, LINE3, LINE4) connected to the access node (DSLAM). The information may be extracted from an access node MIB each time the on/off state of a line changes, and optionally is used to group the lines in virtual binders. The crosstalk agent may optionally interface with service deployment or service upgrade experts, or with a dynamic spectrum management module in the access node (DSLAM).
