  • INTERFERENCE MITIGATION
    Publication number: 20180076851
    Abstract: A PLC modem (131-133) is prompted to increase, starting from a predetermined minimum transmit power, a transmit power of data transmission on a PLC channel (112) at a given time or time period defined with respect to a mutual time reference of a DSL channel (111) and the PLC channel (112). A DSL modem (121) is prompted to measure a signal-to-noise value at the given time or time period defined with respect to the mutual time reference. Mitigation of interference 190 between the PLC channel (112) and the DSL channel (111) becomes possible.

  • LINE GROUPING FOR CROSSTALK AVOIDANCE
    Publication number: 20180041246
    Abstract: According to embodiments, crosstalk avoidance in a data transmission system is based on separating lines of the data transmission system at least into a first group, a second group, and a third group. Transmissions on lines of the first group are controlled to occur at different times than transmissions on lines of the second group. Transmissions on lines of the third group are allowed to occur at the same time with transmissions on the lines of the first group or with transmissions on the lines of the second group.

  • ERROR REPORTING IN MULTI-CARRIER SIGNAL COMMUNICATION
    Publication number: 20180006761
    Abstract: In a communication device, a multi-carrier signal with at least one group of signal carriers is received from a communication connection. For each of the signal carriers, at least one individual error value is evaluated or generated. From the individual error values, a combined error value is evaluated or generated. The combined error value is transmitted on a backchannel of the communication connection.
