ADSL modem apparatus
View Patent ↗A control monitors communication status during a data communication and determines a re-initialization is necessary in the current communication status. If the re-initialization is necessary, a pre-selected sub-carrier topology is inverted to request the re-initialization to an ADSL modem apparatus, which is installed by a central system. Upon receiving a reply to the re-initialization request from the ADSL modem apparatus, the re-initialization is performed after an expiration of a predetermined time period.
1. An ADSL modem apparatus in a transmission side, comprising:
a monitor that monitors a communication status during a data communication;
a determiner that determines whether a re-initialization is necessary in the communication status;
a re-initialization requester that requests a re-initialization to an ADSL modem apparatus in a reception side by inverting a topology of a pre-specified sub-carrier, when a re-initialization is necessary; and
a re-initialization controller that performs a re-initialization after an expiration of a predetermined time period, upon receiving a reply to the re-initialization request from the ADSL modem apparatus in the reception side.
2. An ADSL modem apparatus in a transmission side, comprising:
a monitor that monitors a communication status during a data communication;
a determiner that determines whether a re-initialization is necessary in the communication status; and
a re-initialization requester that requests a re-initialization to an ADSL modem apparatus in a reception side by inverting a topology of a pre-specified sub-carrier, when a re-initialization is necessary, wherein said determiner determines whether a re-initialization is necessary in the communication status based on an eye pattern that is detected from received data from the ADSL modem apparatus in the reception side.
3. An ADSL modem apparatus in reception side, comprising:
a monitor that monitors a communication status during a data communication;
a determiner that determines whether a re-initialization is necessary in the communication status;
a re-initialization replier that replies to a re-initialization request by inverting a topology of a pre-specified sub-carrier upon receiving a re-initialization request from an ADSL modem apparatus in a transmission side when the re-initialization is necessary; and
a re-initialization controller that performs a re-initialization after an expiration of a predetermined time period, upon replying to the re-initialization request.
4. An ADSL modem apparatus in reception side, comprising:
a monitor that monitors a communication status during a data communication;
a determiner that determines whether a re-initialization is necessary in the communication status; and
a re-initialization replier that replies to a re-initialization request by inverting a topology of a pre-specified sub-carrier upon receiving a re-initialization request from an ADSL modem apparatus in a transmission side when the re-initialization is necessary, wherein said determiner determines whether the re-initialization is necessary in the communication status based on an eye pattern that is detected from received data from the ADSL modem apparatus in the transmission side.
5. An ADSL modem apparatus, comprising:
a memory that stores a first sub-carrier selected for re-initialization control prior to starting a data communication, and second sub-carrier designated for the re-initialization control by an ADSL modem apparatus in other side;
a monitor that monitors communication status during a data communication;
a determiner that determines whether a re-initialization is necessary in the current communication status;
a re-initialization requester that requests a re-initialization to the ADSL modem apparatus in other side by inverting a topology of the first sub-carrier when the re-initialization is necessary; and
a re-initialization controller that performs a re-initialization after an expiration of a predetermined time period, upon detecting an inverted topology of the second sub-carrier.
6. A re-initialization method, comprising:
monitoring communication status during a data communication;
determining whether a re-initialization is necessary in the current communication status;
requesting a re-initialization to an ADSL modem apparatus in reception side by inverting a topology of a pre-specified sub-carrier when the re-initialization is necessary; and
performing a re-initialization after an expiration of a predetermined time period, upon receiving a reply to the re-initialization request from the ADSL modem apparatus in the reception side.
7. A re-initialization method, comprising:
monitoring communication status during a data communication;
determining whether a re-initialization is necessary in the current communication status;
replying to a re-initialization request by inverting a topology of a pre-specified sub-carrier upon receiving the re-initialization request from an ADSL modem apparatus in a transmission side when the re-initialization is necessary; and performing a re-initialization after an expiration of a predetermined time period, upon replying to the re-initialization request.
8. A re-initialization method, comprising:
storing a first sub-carrier selected for re-initialization control prior to starting a data communication, and second sub-carrier designated for the re-initialization control by an ADSL modem apparatus in other side;
monitoring communication status during a data communication;
determining whether a re-initialization is necessary in the current communication status;
requesting a re-initialization to the ADSL modem apparatus in other side by inverting a topology of the first sub-carrier when the re-initialization is necessary; and
performing a re-initialization after an expiration of a predetermined time period, upon detecting an inverted topology of the second sub-carrier.
