| 20090245340 | Systems and Methods for Signaling for Vectoring of DSL Systems - The measurement of far-end crosstalk (FEXT) in a Digital Subscriber Line communications is instrumental in the ability of using a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) pre-coder to cancel FEXT. A reliable robust back channel for transmission of error is instrumental to provide error samples for the proper operation of a MIMO pre-coder. Bins can be dedicated to insure bandwidth from the customer premises equipment (CPE) to the central office (CO). By increasing the margin used in the bins, robustness can be added to this back channel between the CPE and CO. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20100220823 | Systems and Methods for Mitigating Self-Induced Far-End Crosstalk - Systems and methods for partial self-FEXT (far-end crosstalk) are described. One method, among others, comprises determining one or more instantaneous characteristics of an input signal, wherein the one or more instantaneous characteristics comprise one or more of amplitude of the input signal and an energy level of the input signal. The method further comprises selecting one or more disturbers to cancel according to the one or more instantaneous characteristics, wherein selecting one or more disturbers is performed on a per-DMT (discrete multi-tone) symbol basis. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100278328 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTING TONES FOR FAR-END CROSS TALK MITIGATION - Systems and methods are described for selecting tones for far-end crosstalk (FEXT) mitigation. In particular, systems and methods are described for performing far-end crosstalk (FEXT) mitigation within a digital subscriber line (xDSL) system. 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. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100281349 | Systems and Methods for Retransmission Return Channel Error Detection - A method implemented in a digital subscriber line (DSL) system is described for minimizing a misdetection probability at a far-end coded message receiver during transmission of a coded message. The method comprises jointly determining, at the far-end coded message receiver, a P matrix and a modulation scheme. The method further comprises encoding a message into a coded message with a systematic linear block code, the systematic linear block code having a generator matrix [I P], where I represents a linear block code component identity matrix and P represents the determined P matrix. The method also comprises modulating the encoded message to one or more tones forming a discrete multi-tone (DMT) symbol according to the determined modulation scheme. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110150121 | Systems and Methods of Resource Allocation for Cancellation of Crosstalk - A method implemented in a multi-user communication system is described for performing far-end crosstalk (FEXT) cancellation for each victim user.
