| 20080317035 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANAGING CHANNEL MATRIX - A method for managing a channel matrix is provided. The method includes: obtaining whether a user logs on or logs off; adding a history record of channel information of the user to a channel matrix when the user logs on; recording current channel information of the user in the channel matrix and deleting the channel information of the user from the channel matrix when the user logs off. The channel matrix may be timely updated based on when the user logs on or off. Accordingly, the channel crosstalk is eliminated timely and correctly according to the channel matrix, and the affection on the crosstalk eliminating capacity caused by the user logs on or logs off can be avoided. | 12-25-2008 |
