Patent number: 7773732Abstract: A modem for interconnecting a DSL line and a local bus comprises a DSL interface adapted to send and receive data on the DSL line at a DSL bandwidth selected from a first set of bandwidths, and a local bus interface adapted to operate at a local bus bandwidth selected from a second set of bandwidths so as to match the DSL bandwidth. In a first operating mode, the modem reserves as much as possible of a predetermined local bus bandwidth and then synchronizes the DSL line to a matching mode. In a second operating mode, the modem synchronizes the DSL line to a predetermined bandwidth and then reserves a matching local bus bandwidth or, if impossible, adopts a bulk transfer mode.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2003Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Thomson LicensingInventors: Lieven Gesquiere, Stan Claes, Dirk Van De Poel

Patent number: 7653843Abstract: A channel characteristic of a transmission channel between a remote terminal and a central office is estimated by collecting information in the remote terminal, transferring this information from the remote terminal to the central office and matching the received information at the central office with a channel and remote terminal simulation model. The values of parameters of the latter simulation model, which define the channel characteristic to be estimated, are determined as a result of the matching process. The information collected by the remote terminal typically is information that is automatically collected by the remote terminal for operational purposes, such as equalizer setting and bit allocation.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2007Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: AlcatelInventors: Frank Ryckebusch, Stan Claes
