Abstract

A method and apparatus implements a Virtual Exchange Reference Impact (VERI) technique to define a pattern to shape the spectrum of a cabinet deployed system to minimize its impact, e.g., FEXT, into an exchange deployed system while achieving effective cabinet system performance, e.g., in terms of data transmission rate. The invention shapes the cabinet system to replicate a self-impact of the exchange system on itself based on the known distance of the cabinet from the exchange. The shaping is required when both exchange and cabinet systems share the same bundle and exhibit overlapped bandwidths. A particular example consists of VDSL deployed from remote cabinet impacting ADSL2/ADSL2+ deployed from the exchange.

Claims (34)

1. A digital subscriber line (DSL) communications system comprising:

a bundled system having an exchange system electromagnetically coupled to a cabinet system, and

a power spectral density (PSD) mask pattern for spectral shaping a VDSL mask applied to the cabinet system such that impact experienced by the exchange system from the cabinet system replicates self-impact experienced by the exchange system, wherein capacity of the exchange system is increased when the exchange system is deployed in a same bundle as the cabinet system, the PSD mask shaping pattern represented by an equation:

C[f, 0]∞ E[f,y]=E[f, 0]/ H E [f,y]/ 2 ; where:

C[f, 0 ] denotes the transmitted PSD from the cabinet system;

E[f, 0 ] denotes a transmitted PSD from the exchange system;

E[f,y] denotes an attenuated exchange PSD by an exchange loop of length y;

H E [f,y] denotes the frequency response of the exchange loop; and

y represents the distance from the cabinet system to the exchange system where f B E and B E is a common bandwidth.

2. The PSD mask shaping pattern of claim 1 , wherein the impact into the exchange system being minimized is FEXT.

3. The PSD mask shaping pattern of claim 2 , wherein the exchange and cabinet systems have a common bandwidth.

4. The PSD mask shaping pattern of claim 1 , wherein the exchange system is a Central Office and is in communication with a first customer premises equipment.

5. The PSD mask shaping pattern of claim 1 , wherein the cabinet system is a remote terminal and is in communication with a second customer premises equipment.

6. A digital subscriber line (DSL) communications system comprising: a bundled system having an exchange system electromagnetically coupled to a cabinet system, a power spectral density (PSD) mask pattern for spectral shaping a VDSL mask applied to the cabinet system to such that impact experienced by the exchange system from the cabinet system replicates self-impact experienced by the exchange system, wherein capacity of the exchange system is increased when the exchange system is deployed in a same bundle as the cabinet system, PSD mask the shaping pattern represented by an equation:

C[f,0]<E[f,y]

where C[f, 0 ] denotes a transmitted PSD from the cabinet system;

E[f,y]=E[f, 0 ]|H E [f,y]| 2 and denotes an attenuated exchange PSD by an exchange loop of length y; E[f, 0 ] denotes a transmitted PSD from the exchange system;

HE[f,y] denotes the frequency response of the exchange loop; and

y represents the distance from the cabinet system to the exchange system where f B E and B E is a common bandwith.

7. The PSD mask shaping pattern of claim 6 , wherein the exchange system is a Central Office and is in communication with a first customer premises equipment.

8. The PSD mask shaping pattern of claim 6 , wherein the cabinet system is a remote terminal and is in communication with a second customer premises equipment.

9. The PSD mask shaping pattern of claim 6 , wherein the exchange and cabinet systems have a common bandwidth.

10. A digital describer line (DSL) communications network, a bundled system comprising:

an exchange system electromagnetically coupled to a cabinet system, the cabinet system having a transmitted power spectral density (PSD), C[f, 0 ], that is proportional to an exchange system PSD, E[f,y], as attenuated by an exchange loop of length y,

wherein y represents the distance of the cabinet system from the exchange system where f B E and B E is a common bandwidth, and

wherein impact experienced by the exchange from the cabinet system replicates self-impact experienced by the exchange system, wherein capacity of the exchange system is increased when the exchange system is deployed in a same bundle as the cabinet system; wherein C[f, 0 ]=E[f,y]; and wherein E[f,y]=E[f, 0 ]|H E [f,y]| 2 , E[f, 0 ] denotes a transmitted PSD from the exchange system; and H E [f,y] designates the frequency response of the exchange loop.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the exchange and cabinet systems have a common bandwidth.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the exchange system is a Central Office and is in communication with a first customer premises equipment.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the cabinet system is a remote terminal and is in communication with a second customer premises equipment.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the exchange loop comprises 0.5 mm wire.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the exchange loop comprises 26 AWG wire.

16. The system of claim 10 wherein the cabinet system PSD is slightly less than the attenuated exchange system PSD.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the exchange and cabinet systems utilize one or more of the following standards: ITU-T G.992.5/ADSL2+; ETSI TS101-270/VDSL; and ANSI T1.424/VDSL.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the attenuated exchange PSD at exchange loop y represents a virtual exchange reference impact determined based on the distance y of the cabinet system from the exchange system.
