  • Various methods and apparatuses for impulse noise detection
    Patent number: 7813439
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for reducing effects of impulse noise in a DSL transmitter receiver device are described. According to certain embodiment, the method includes comparing a hard decision output of a decoder with a soft decision output for a convolution coded modulation symbol received at a digital subscriber line (DSL) receiver. The presence of impulse noise is detected based on a lack of agreement between the hard decision output and the soft decision output.
