摘要:
Control systems and methods are provided for controlling a personal communication device (PCD), such as a wireless telephone, personal data assistant (PDA), etc. The control systems and methods enable the controlled PCD (CPCD): (1) to determine (a) CPCD motion (speed, acceleration, or both) and/or (b) geographical location and (2) to (a) modify (enable, disable, and/or otherwise change) one or more CPCD functions based at least in part on the CPCD motion and/or geographical location and/or (b) communicate an alert (locally and/or to a remote communication device). The control of CPCD functions and alerts may also be dependent on other factors, such as the laws of the authoritative legal jurisdiction wherein the CPCD is located. The operation of the following CPCD functions can be modified, as nonlimiting examples: keypad, image display, microphone, speaker, camera, voice call out, voice call answer, text message creation, text message transmission, text message reception, email creation, email reception, image creation, image reception, Internet browsing, gaming, ring signal operation, communication signal transmission, and communication signal reception.

A single subscriber line multi-point communication system is disclosed. In general, the multi-point communication system can include a first transceiver coupled to a subscriber line capable of transmitting and receiving at least two modulation methods, either of said modulation methods being operable to transmit a test signal, and a second transceiver coupled to said subscriber line capable of transmitting and receiving said at least two modulation methods, the second transceiver being operable to receive the test signal and determine at least one channel parameter from the test signal. A master transceiver that can be used in various embodiments of a single subscriber line multi-point communication system, and a tributary transceiver are further disclosed.

Systems and methods are provided for communicating data over a subscriber loop using a modem. One such method includes: transmitting data on the loop in a first frequency band; sensing an indication that simultaneous transmission on the loop in a POTS frequency band is imminent; and adjusting transmit power in the first band, in response to the sensing step. One such system includes an input/output connection in communication with the loop, a processor operable in at least two states, a means for sensing demand for simultaneous usage of the loop, and a means for controlling the state. The first state is characterized by a first transmit power spectrum in the first band. The second state is characterized by a second transmit power spectrum in the first band, reduced relative to the first spectrum. Upon sensing demand, the control means causes the processor to operate in the second state.

A method for testing subscriber loop conditions includes receiving test signal data from a test signal provider, receiving a request for transmitting a test signal described by the test signal data, and transmitting the test signal over a communication channel. The test signal may correspond to a pre-qualification test signal, a qualification test signal, or an in-service test signal. Test results may be transmitted to the test signal provider or to some other designated recipient.

A crosstalk compensator provides for the compensation of mismatches in mutual coupling capacitances between adjacent parallel wire pairs. The aforementioned mismatch in mutual coupling capacitance may arise in a customer premises wiring system which may consist of at least the drop cable, cable run and/or receiver cable (from the service drop point to a digital device). Mismatches in the mutual coupling capacitances in the customer premises wiring system may give rise to undesirable levels of premises end crosstalk (PEXT) interference for which the crosstalk compensator has been designed to mitigate by providing a system and method for the connection of compensating capacitors between pairs of conductors selected from the plurality of subscriber loop conductors such that the mismatch is reduced or eliminated. The crosstalk compensator may be implemented in a variety of formats, including firmware or program code residing on a computer-readable medium, hardware, or a combination thereof.

Systems and methods for integrating analog voice service and derived POTS voice service in a DSL environment are provided. One embodiment is a system comprising: a first communication path for carrying plain old telephone service (POTS) voice signals between a telephone-type device and a subscriber line of a telephone network; a second communication path for carrying derived POTS voice signals between the telephone-type device and the subscriber line; and a switching mechanism configured to switch the telephone-type device between the first communication path and the second communication path.
摘要:
The present invention provides for a system and method for blocking leakage signals and uncoupling connections in a communication system. A leakage signal (LS) blocking splitter employs a high-pass filter which effectively blocks the lower frequency leakage signal. The high-pass filter (an LS filter) has a cut-off frequency selected to fall between the upper range of the leakage signal (which is approximately 4 KHz in the preferred embodiment) and the low-end frequency of a data signal. A detect and terminate function detects service on the communication connection to which each one of the leakage signal (LS) filters are coupled to. The detect and terminate function detects service on the communication connection to ensure that each LS blocking splitter is coupled to an in-service communication connection. If the communication connection becomes out-of-service, such as when a customer discontinues service with the service provider, the detect and terminate functions automatically uncouple the respective LS filter from the communication connections so that the LS filter cannot introduce undesirable harmonics into the communication system. In an alternative embodiment, the detect and terminate function may insert an impedance matching element in addition to uncoupling the LS filter.

The present invention provides a communication device, such as a modem, that is capable of detecting whether it is capable of operating in a mode that is compatible with one or more of the Spectrum Management Classes. The modem automatically selects a mode of operation that is compliant with one or more of the Spectrum Management Classes. The communication device also determines whether it is capable of operating in multiple modes that are compliant with multiple Spectrum Management Classes, and is capable of selecting the modes of operation that optimizes the performance of the communication device. Furthermore, the communication device is capable of determining when it is not capable of operating in a mode that is compliant with at least one of the Spectrum Management Classes and which prevents operation of itself upon determining that it is not capable of operating in a mode that is compliant with at least one of the Spectrum Management Classes.
