Abstract: Improved techniques for concurrent channel equalization and far-end crosstalk channel compensation (e.g., estimation and/or cancellation) in a multicarrier data transmission system are disclosed. The improved techniques can produce coefficients for an electronic filter that provide channel equalization and for an electronic filter that provides cancellation of the far-end crosstalk. These coefficients can be initially trained and then subsequently updated during data transmission. Optionally, common coefficient determination resources can be utilized for both far-end crosstalk and near-end crosstalk purposes. These improved techniques are particularly suitable for use with a digital multicarrier communication system having multiple-input multiple-output systems.

Abstract: Improved techniques for acquiring symbol boundary timing at a receiver of a multicarrier data transmission system during a training sequence are disclosed. One aspect is symbol boundary determination at a receiver wherein minimal interference is used as a criterion in selecting from a plurality of potential symbol boundary timings. The symbol boundary determination at the receiver can be performed in a time domain or a frequency domain manner. Another aspect pertains to an improved training sequence wherein pairs of identical symbols are transmitted by a transmitter. These symbols can be supplied to the transmitter in a time domain or a frequency domain manner.

Abstract: An improved training sequence for estimating a channel (e.g., channel impulse response) in the time domain is disclosed. The improved training sequence enables time-domain estimation and eliminates the need for correct frequency-domain channel estimation at every frequency. By utilizing the training sequence according to the invention, estimation of each of a plurality of time-domain channel taps can be decoupled from each other. This enables a channel estimate to be performed with not only a higher convergence speed but also lower complexity.
