  • Publication number: 20130235915
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications and disclose a method and an apparatus for grouping line pairs, and a system, to solve a problem that obtaining a crosstalk cancellation coefficient matrix through channel training imposes a very high requirement on a system capability such as a computing capability and a storage capability and even affects user experience due to the relatively large number of line pairs in a large scale Vectored-DSL system. A technical solution provided in the present invention includes: acquiring crosstalk impact data between line pairs in a vectored-digital subscriber line Vectored-DSL system; and grouping line pairs, between which a crosstalk impact cannot be ignored, into one vector group according to a set threshold and the crosstalk impact data between the line pairs. The method and apparatus provided in the embodiments of the present invention are applicable to a large scale Vectored-DSL.

  • Patent number: 8406416
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a transmitter configured to transmit a digital subscriber line (DSL) signal in a line from a plurality of subscriber lines according to a reference virtual noise power spectral density (PSD), wherein the reference virtual noise PSD is based on an upper bound for a worst-case far-end crosstalk (FEXT) PSD in the subscriber lines. Also included is an apparatus comprising at least one processor configured to implement a method comprising obtaining an upper bound for a worst-case FEXT PSD for a plurality of subscriber lines, obtaining a referred virtual noise PSD based on the worst-case FEXT PSD for the lines, and determining a bit-loading for the lines based on the referred virtual noise or a scaled version of the receiver-referred virtual noise.

  • Patent number: 8335275
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a system for managing lines are provided. The method includes: collecting showtime parameters of user lines (11); calculating crosstalk information of the user lines according to the collected showtime parameters (12); and grouping the user lines according to the calculated crosstalk information of the user lines (13). Thus, the dynamic spectrum management (DSM) algorithm is made to be more simple and faster, and the user lines are grouped more directly and exactly.

  • Publication number: 20120069853
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for data acquisition. The method includes the following steps: transmitting a request message for acquiring line parameters to a central-office end access apparatus, and obtaining a time parameter T1 when the line parameter acquisition is started; receiving line parameter information reported by the central-office end access apparatus, and obtaining a time parameter T2 of a line; and comparing the time parameter T1 with the time parameter T2 of the line, and saving the received line parameter information if the time parameter T1 is larger than the time parameter T2 of the line. Embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an apparatus and a system for data acquisition.

  • Patent number: 8000219
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for spectrum management in an xDSL system are disclosed. The method mainly include: determining a transmit PSD mask according to a crosstalk status of a line; performing IWF operation using the transmit PSD mask; and dynamically managing line spectrum according to the result of the IWF operation. Therefore, various embodiments of the present invention allow the DSLAM performance to approximate the OSM performance without the need for a center controller and with a rather simple algorithm in a severe crosstalk scenario. Moreover, the embodiments of the present invention may help to simply the design of DSLAM optimization system and achieve a proper balance between the DSLAM performance and the complexity.
