Abstract

Various embodiments for addressing the performance objectives of LDSL and examples of smart systems for LDSL are disclosed. An evaluation of the spectral compatibility of two LDSL modes based on two different downstream masks, identified herein as LDSL Wide and Narrow, is disclosed. Spectral compatibility is evaluated in accordance with existing rules. Other embodiments may further comprise determining features of upstream transmission.
