20100034245 | Method For Bit-Loading in a Multi-Tone DSL System - A method and processor in a multi-tone based multi-line transmission system such as a digital subscriber line system. The system includes a pre-processor, also referred to as a pre-coder. The processor iteratively determines an integer number of bits to be allocated before pre-processing. The determination is subject to transmit power constraints taking into account power changes on all lines due to the pre-processor and a required bit error rate. | 02-11-2010 |
20100103993 | Methods and Arrangements in a Digital Subscriber Line Network - The present invention relates to method and arrangements for reducing crosstalk in a DSL system. This is achieved by providing the users in the network with a ghost line, i.e. a virtual line that should reflect the damage to be caused to the remaining users in the network, and that each user allocates the PSDs such that the allocated PSD is optimized against this ghost line. A central agent is adapted to continuously and individually update the ghost lines by collecting a measure indicating the impact of crosstalk from all modems. | 04-29-2010 |
20100104090 | Method and Arrangement for power Minimization in a Multi-Tone Transmission-Based Communication System - A method and transmitter unit in a multi-tone, multi-line based transmission system, such as a digital subscriber line system, for determining a Power Spectral Density (PSD) of a plurality of users over a physical channel for at least one tone. Each of the users has a minimum required data rate and a maximum allowed power. A Power Minimization Problem (PMP) is formulated mathematically, introducing Lagrangian multipliers, and by utilizing a dual decomposition approach for the objective function of the PMP in order to solve the PMP on a per-tone basis. | 04-29-2010 |
20100208785 | Method for Determining Automatically a Fext/Next Transfer-Function - A method of automatically determining a far-end crosstalk (FEXT) and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) transfer function in communication lines such as Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL). In a first phase, an input test signal with a known power density spectrum (PSD) covering a frequency range of interest is transmitted at the near end of line A while a received signal or noise-related quantity or PSD is measured at both the near end and far end of line B. In a second phase, transmission of the test signal is stopped, and a received signal or noise-related quantity or PSD is again measured at both ends of line B. In a third phase, the FEXT/NEXT transfer function is determined based on the measurements of the first and second phases. | 08-19-2010 |
20100303076 | OPTIMISING PACKET SWITCHED NETWORKS - A method of routing packets between nodes of a packet switched network, the method comprising receiving a packet at a first node, the packet comprising routing information and payload data, sending said routing information to a second node in the routing path via a first transmission medium having a relatively high transmission speed, and sending said payload data to said second node via a second transmission medium having a relatively low transmission speed. Upon receipt of said routing information, said second node is able to prepare or begin preparation for onward routing of the packet in advance of receipt of said payload. | 12-02-2010 |
20110222611 | METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR MANAGEMENT OF TRANSMISSION RESOURCES IN DIGITAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - The present invention relates to a method for managing transmission resources in a digital communication system comprising an access network, such as a DSL system, implementing resource management for minimization of cross-talk interference in a cable or cable binder of the access network comprising a number, N of lines. It comprises the steps of: determining, by means of calculating means, for a respective of said lines, a relevant line set, comprising interference relevant lines, for said respective line, and applying, for the respective line, an algorithm for resource management using the determined relevant line set, thus reducing computational complexity of the resource management algorithm. | 09-15-2011 |

20140023189 | Dynamic Target Margin Adaptation for DSL Transmission Lines - A method and arrangement is proposed for adaptively generating a target noise margin for use on a DSL transmission line. The method includes determining a first quantity representing a current noise power on the line using line parameter data relating to the transmission performance of the line, determining a second quantity representing a worst-case noise power on said line using previously obtained values of the line parameter data, calculating the difference between the first and second quantities to generate a difference value, setting a target noise margin as at least equal to said difference value, and providing the target noise margin for use on the line upon initialisation of the line. In a preferred embodiment, the line parameter data is the bit loading on the line and the first and second quantities are values of the average signal-to-noise ratio on the line derived from the bit loading data. | 01-23-2014 |
