Patent number: 8755406Abstract: Example multiple channel systems for a twisted pair telephone wire local loop system are disclosed. An example method includes implementing, via a digital filter at a subscriber gateway, a frequency translation received from a first controller of a switching office in response to a bandwidth allocation request, wherein the frequency translation moves a signal to an available frequency band identified by the first controller of the switching office; operating a second controller at the subscriber gateway to control the digital filter; and transmitting a plurality of frequency division multiplexed signals via a first transceiver configured to send and receive via multiple independent channel located at the subscriber gateway.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2013Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Phillip George Skeba, Dale Brian Halling, Nelson Leon Ledbetter, Edward R.
