Abstract: System and method for confirming calls in a telephone system. The method is based in that a user subscribed to this service has the option of selecting a call confirmation state. According to the method of the invention, a user selects an incoming call confirmation state, and in the event of a call occurring for this user, the calling party receives a confirmation request by means of a message that is sent to him from a control center (5), this latter party being that which decides to set up the call. Said control center (5) is situated either in the telephone network or in the telephone terminal itself.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a transmission/reception unit that exchanges data with a remote unit by means of a channel using distributed modulation/demodulation treatment means. The transmission/reception unit includes equalization means (23) to equalize a first signal received from said remote unit and predistortion means to predistort a second signal transmitted to said remote unit. According to the invention, the unit is characterized in that the modulation/demodulation treatment means operate in a non-linear way and the unit includes means (230) to store information that is representative of a non-linear distortion of said modulation/demodulation treatment means and which defines a non-linear reference, and means (233) to adjust coefficients (CO) in the equalization means (23) according to the signal received from the remote unit and said representative information, the mentioned adjusted coefficients being transmitted to said predistortion means.
