Abstract:
A device (10) for limiting crosstalk between vectoring modems connected to a group of communication lines (18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32) comprises a subgroup determining element (60) that obtains information of the division into subgroups, each subgroup being made up of lines experiencing cross-talk from each other, and assigns operational pilot sequences to the group according to the division, an operational sequence transmission control element (58) that transmits the operational sequences on the lines to the modems, which sequences are mutually orthogonal to each other and each communication line receives a corresponding sequence, and a corrective action determining element (62) that obtains cross-talk measurements related to the transmitted operational pilot sequences and determines, for each subgroup, cross-talk and corrective action based on measurements made for a number of sequence symbols, which number corresponds to the minimum number required for obtaining mutually orthogonal pilot sequences within the subgroup.
Abstract:
In a vectoring-capable DSL system, power can be saved by a low power mode wherein data transmission is reduced or halted, but synch symbols continue to be transmitted, so that estimation of crosstalk coefficients may continue during the low power mode. When crosstalk coefficient estimates are up to date, a line may exit low power mode without causing problematic changes of crosstalk noise in other lines, since the vectoring functionality will eliminate or reduce the crosstalk.

Abstract:
There is provided spectrum shaping of a signal. A frequency-domain representation of the signal to be spectrum-shaped is provided. The signal is associated with a set of constellation points having a minimum distance. A spectrum-shaped signal is determined by altering a proper subset of the constellation points whilst maintaining the minimum distance between all of the constellation points. The spectrum-shaped signal is transformed into a time-domain signal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a system for initiating bi-directional communication in a time-division duplex (TDD) communication system between a customer premises equipment (CPE) modem, such as a DSL modem, and an operator modem, such as a DSLAM. The invention is characterized in that the transmission of the CPE modem is aligned with the time-division duplex timing structure present in received crosstalk noise when transmitting initiation signals, so-called handshake tones.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for the power management of a digital communication line such as a digital subscriber line DSL (2201). A problem addressed by the invention is that the transitioning of the digital subscriber line (2201) from a low transmission power state to a high transmission power state can cause disturbance to adjacent lines. This problem is solved by the current invention by an access node AN (2100) that is arranged to step-wise increase the power state until the high transmission power state has been reached. The invention also comprises embodiments of monitoring and detecting traffic events that serve as triggers of the transitioning.
Abstract:
Vector Control Entity and method therein for Disorderly Leaving Events, DLEs, causing Sudden Termination Change in a DSL system. The method comprises, when a DLE occurs on a line m in a vectored group of DSL lines, and the transmission on line m is, at least partly, continued: obtaining at least one error sample from CPEs connected to other lines in the vectored group of DSL lines, and calculating an estimate of the channel coefficients, H', changed due to the DLE. The estimate is calculated based on the at least one error sample, and thus a channel estimate is provided. The method further comprises modifying a downstream precoder, based on the channel estimate, such that retraining of the other lines in the vectored group due to the DLE is avoided. The estimate of the channel coefficients is calculated based on the model H'=H+CΛH.
