  • System and related methods for clustering multi-point communication targets
    Patent number: 7299073
    Abstract: A system and related methods for clustering multi-point communication targets is presented. According to one aspect of the invention, a method comprising measuring one or more performance characteristics associated for each of at least a subset of a plurality of targets in a wireless communication system, and selectively building one or more clusters, each cluster including one or more target(s) and sharing a wireless communication channel, based at least in part on the performance characteristics.
    Type: Grant

  • VDSL transmission systems
    Patent number: 7050489
    Abstract: One problem, frequently encountered with VDSL transmission systems, is that upstream FEXT produced by system users having short wires can be very strong. Users having shorter wires get high bit rates whereas users having longer wires get low bit rates. In extreme cases it may happen that users with wire lengths greater than 1000 meter cannot transmit data upstream. The present invention provides a VDST transmission system with a plurality of modems. The modems are located at varying distances from a central station. There is a target bit rate for each modem. That modems on shorter wires have control means for reducing their transmit power. This reduces the FEXT produced by these modems enabling modems on longer wires to transmit at higher bit rates.
