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.
Abstract:
One problem, frequently encountered with VDSL transmission systems, is that upstream FEXT produced by system users having short wires can be very strong. Users having shorter wires get high bit rates whereas users having longer wires get low bit rates. In extreme cases it may happen that users with wire lengths greater than 1000 metre cannot transmit data upstream. The present invention provides a VDSL transmission system with a plurality of modems. The modems are located at varying distances from a central station. There is a target bit rate for each modem. These modems on shorter wires have control means for reducing their transmit power. This reduces the FEXT produced by these modems enabling modems on longer wires to transmit at higher bit rates.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an arrangement for synchronization of nodes in VDSL-systems, or more exactly, synchronization of optical VDSL-nodes (2) which share a common part of a cable in the access network between the subscribers (3) and the local station (1). The invention provides a time synchronization towards an external system (7), for instance GPS, which gives a time reference by which the different nodes can be synchronized. The synchronization reduces the near end cross talk between the VDSL-systems in the different nodes. Preferably respective node includes a receiver (6) for a synchronization signal and an internal oscillator with high stability to deliver a stable clock signal.
Abstract:
Zipper is a time-synchronized frequency-division duplex implementation of discrete multi tone (DMT) modulation. Two communicating Zipper modems transmit DMT symbols simultaneously with a common clock. The Zipper scheme implies that every carrier, in the total set of carriers in the DMT signal, is exclusively chosen to be used for either the up-stream or the down-stream direction. When all transmitters are time synchronized, the near end cross-talk (NEXT) and near end echoes injected into the received signal are orthogonal to the desired signal. The present invention provides s telecommunications transmission system using zipper and having at least two VDSL systems. Each VDSL system comprises a pair of zipper modems communicating over a cable transmission path. The two VDSL systems employ a common cable. The telecommunications transmission system is adapted to: handle zipper transmissions transmitted over the common cable; at least partly mitigate NEXT; and permit transmissions in a first VDSL system which are asynchronous with transmissions in a second VDSL system.
