  • Patent number: 8477590
    Abstract: Crosstalk between subscriber loops used to transmit different broadband services through the same bundled telephone cable is a significant limitation to providing digital subscriber line services. A method for estimating the crosstalk, identifying the sources of the crosstalk and predicting additional sources of crosstalk are disclosed. The crosstalk sources are identified in the frequency domain by maximizing the correlation with a “basis set” of received crosstalk PSDs which consist of the cascade of a finite set of known transmit PSDs types times a representative set of crosstalk couplings. Multiple crosstalk types are identified with a technique of successive spectral subtraction. Once a type is identified the crosstalk disturber is compared against all other members of the complete set for that type. Additionally, Multiple Regression (MR) techniques and a Matching Pursuit (MP) algorithm are used to increase the ability of the system and method to identify various crosstalk disturbers.

  • Publication number: 20070103294
    Abstract: Systems and methods may enable first incident responder management and support. System and methods enabled by software may utilize communications networks and location based systems such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) to locate the incident and response units, and to relay and share critical incident management information for use by other emergency response operators associated with an emergency scene. Maps and icons may be accessed and utilized over devices in the field. Software modules enable a system operator to use maps and a selection of user interface objects such as custom icons symbolizing a list of responders (police, fire, rescue, military) called forward and may designate specific geographic positions for managing a crisis.
