Abstract: The present invention provides a management table that uses only specific symbols for upstream signals and other symbols for downstream signals, within a hyperframe (ADSL communication unit). Communication is performed by switching streams between the upstream and downstream, in accordance with the symbols stored in the management table. Upon transmitting a predetermined number of hyperframes, a processor transmits a SEGUE signal instead of a REVERB signal in the beginning of the next hyperframe.

Abstract: The present invention monitors communication status during a data communication, determines whether the current communication status needs a re-initialization, requests a re-initialization of an opposing ADSL modem apparatus by transmitting ClearEOC when a re-initialization is needed, receives a response to a re-initialization request from the opposing ADSL modem apparatus, and performs a re-initialization after a predetermined time period.

Abstract: A communication control method detects whether an opposing apparatus is capable of performing an abbreviated procedure during a handshake step, declares an initiation of the abbreviated procedure if the opposing apparatus is capable of performing the abbreviated procedure, omits a negotiation prior to transmitting a MEDLEY signal, allows a remote side to transmit capacity information and reception result once to a center side after exchanging the MEDLEY signal, and further allows the center side to transmit the final capacity and transmission speed information to the remote side, in order to complete the initialization sequence.

Abstract: A control monitors communication status during a data communication and determines a re-initialization is necessary in the current communication status. If the re-initialization is necessary, a pre-selected sub-carrier topology is inverted to request the re-initialization to an ADSL modem apparatus, which is installed by a central system. Upon receiving a reply to the re-initialization request from the ADSL modem apparatus, the re-initialization is performed after an expiration of a predetermined time period.

Abstract: A center side transmits a downstream signal by using a specified carrier preset by a communication standard, when a handshake sequence is initiated, and retransmits a downstream signal by using an alternate carrier shifted toward a higher frequency instead of a specified carrier in the proximity of carriers used for the upstream, when a line connection with an opposing ADSL modem apparatus fails during the signal transmission using the specified carrier. Further, a remote side detects a signal of a specified carrier preset by a communication standard from downstream, when a handshake sequence is initiated, and detects an alternate carrier signal in accordance with a carrier change made by the transmitter side, when the signal of the specified carrier fails to be received within a predetermined time since the initiation of the handshake sequence.

Abstract: An ADSL modem apparatus that serves as an ATU-R receives a signal in the hyperframe format having FEXT and NEXT parts, when an initialization sequence is started, the signal configured with a known number of symbols. The received signal is sampled by an AFE and stored in a buffer memory of an FFT unit. A processor establishes a symbol synchronization and a hyperframe synchronization, upon receiving an original signal, based on sample data of the original signal, the original signal having REVERB signals during a FEXT period and non-REVERB signals (distinguishable from REVERB signals) during a NEXT period.

Abstract: A constellation encoder provides carrier data with a topology inverted at 180 degrees every 8 symbols to an IFFT unit to transmit the topology inversion signal to a line. Upon receiving the signal from the line during the transmission, an FFT unit performs a fast Fourier transformation on the signal in order to obtain constellation data. Then, an AGC controller performs an AGC on the data. Further, a CAPC unit performs a CAPC, and a timing regenerator monitors whether a timing regeneration is necessary. During a period of signal hybrid echo due to the carrier topology inversion transmission, processes of the AGC, CAPC and timing regeneration are frozen.

Abstract: An ADSL communication apparatus includes a transceiver that executes an initialization sequence, a host that is connected to a user terminal, an AFE unit, a driver that transmits an analog signal (converted by the AFE unit) to a line, and a receiver that receives the analog signal from the line. The transceiver retrieves a signal component of a known carrier from the front-end of a hyperframe, based on an arbitrary symbol breakpoint. By calculating outer product values between the previously retrieved signal component and the currently retrieved signal component, the symbol breakpoint is adjusted in accordance with the patterns of the outer product values.

Abstract: A receiver receives an analog signal that is modulated from transmission data using a multi-carrier method, and a gain controller controls a gain of the received analog signal. An AD converter samples the received analog signal processed by the gain controller so that an FFT unit can perform a Fourier transform on the sampling data and demodulate the data into carrier units. Then, a sync symbol, which is transmitted from an opposing side after the data communication is initiated using the multi-carrier method, is retrieved from the demodulated data. By analyzing individual signal value of a plurality of carriers within the retrieved sync symbol, an appropriate gain control is instructed for the gain controller.
