PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a DSL transmission system of simple constitution by setting a period for processing a filter to an at least previously set time length. SOLUTION: An output symbol system S is subtracted from the output of a delay line 80 by a subtracting circuit 82, and a difference signal is supplied to an FIR filter 84 for realizing a transfer function h* for local echo inference. A filter 84 operates only to sampling data corresponding to a delaying time δor the maximum delaying time of a line and infers echo component from the difference between two continuous symbols. However, being a linear filter, the component is equivalent to the difference between the respective echo components of the two symbols. The output of the filter 84 is supplied for an adding circuit 86, and an input symbol S' receiving the influence of a nonlinear echo is simultaneously received. The circuit 86 supplies a desired orthogonal echo signal to a Fast Fourier Transforming(FFT) circuit 18 as an input signal IN'. Then, the filter 84 operates only in a short period at the starting point of each transmission symbol.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a canceller circuit which can eliminate far-edge crosstalks, in a digital subscriber circuit transmission system. SOLUTION: This system includes a pre-compensation means which multiplies a vector S=(Si), where i is equal to 1 to n by a pre-compensation matrix M prior to transmission, so as to obtain a diagonal matrix product H*M. In this example, H is a transmission matrix of plural transmission channels as prescribed by R=H*S and R=(Ri), where i is equal to 1 to n is a vector of discrete multi-tone symbol Ri that is received by a modem. Such a system configuration is attained by a far-edge crosstalk eliminating circuit.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a canceler circuit which can remove far-end crosstalk in a digital subscriber line transmission system. SOLUTION: Modulated data actually sent by a network terminal model are estimated from the frequency components of a discrete multi-tone symbol received by a line terminal modem to evaluate far-end crosstalk as the linear combination of those estimated values. Far-end crosstalk removing circuits for line terminal models are all provided in a centralized system.
Abstract:
The invention provides a multi-carrier transmission system, for example, a DMT system, in which channel information is transmitted between two transceivers using a plurality of sub-carriers, characterised in that each sub-carrier, or symbol, has a parameter associated therewith, and in that said transceivers are adapted to transmit said channel information as a sequence of n groups, in which each of said n groups contains information concerning the number of adjacent sub-carriers which have the same value as said parameter, together with the actual value of the parameter. The parameter which may have a plurality of discrete values, may be a bit-loading value, or a QAM constellation identifier. 00000
Abstract:
The present invention simplifies known data scramblers by making use of the synchronisation frames, normally used for measuring channel characteristics, as a source of pseudo-random data which can be combined with incoming user data. The present invention has particular application to multi-carrier transmission systems which employ DMT, or OFDM. Many of these transmission systems send known data, usually referred to as synchronisation frames, to measure channel characteristics such as signal to noise ratio. The known data contained in a synchronisation frame is selected to have a suitable statistical distribution, e.g. pseudo-random. In the data scrambler of the present invention, user data bits are combined with the known synchronisation frame data using an exclusive-OR function. This results in a statistically and computationally efficient scrambling of the user data.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a multi-carrier transmission system, particularly a DMT system, in which data is transmitted between two transceivers using a plurality of carriers, the frequency bandwidth of the system being divided between said plurality of carriers, the transmission system being adapted for operation in a heterogeneous network including a number of subscriber equipments having different channel characteristics and coexisting on the same cable, the length of cable for each subscriber terminal varying in dependence on their respective locations. In accordance with the invention the transmission system includes allocation means for allocating the traffic of subscriber equipments having a shorter length of cable to tones starting from a higher frequency band of said system bandwidth.
