Abstract:
There is provided mitigation of disconnect events in a vectoring based digital subscriber line, DSL, system. A method performed by a digital subscriber line access multiplexer, DSLAM, comprises detecting a loss of signal or disconnect event of a line in a vectored group of DSL lines, the loss of signal or disconnect event causing a negative impact on the DSL system. The method further comprises detecting a change in at least one downstream, DS, crosstalk coefficient of at least one line in said vectored group of DSL lines. The method further comprises determining a magnitude of said change. The method further comprises determining where the loss of signal or disconnect event has occurred by processing precoding coefficients of the vectored group of DSL lines. The method further comprises determining, on basis of the determined magnitude and where the loss of signal or disconnect event has occurred, an action to be performed by the DSLAM so as to mitigate for said negative impact.

And for each channel of the plurality of channels a sequence of the real part of the sequence of complex numbers is different to a sequence of the imaginary part of the sequence of complex numbers.
Abstract:
At least one crosstalk probing sequence out of a set of orthogonal crosstalk probing sequences is assigned to the at least one respective disturber line for modulation at the given carrier frequency of at least one respective sequence of crosstalk probing symbols, and error samples are successively measured by a receiver coupled to the victim line at the given carrier frequency while the at least one sequence of crosstalk probing symbols are being transmitted over the at least one respective disturber line are fed back for crosstalk estimation. The received error samples are next correlated with at least one unassigned crosstalk probing sequence out of the set of orthogonal crosstalk probing sequences for detection of a demapping error in the received error samples.

A computer implemented method includes determining crosstalk characteristics of a plurality of digital subscriber lines. The computer implemented method includes identifying pairs of digital subscriber lines, each of the pairs including a first digital subscriber line and a second digital subscriber line, where the first digital subscriber line has a crosstalk characteristic that is correlated to the second digital subscriber line. The computer implemented method also includes rearranging terminations at an access node to assign at least one of the identified pairs of digital subscriber lines to a common vectoring group.
Abstract:
