Systems and methods that provide frequency domain supplemental training of the time domain equalizer for DMT
View Patent ↗Using a known or later developed time domain equalizer coefficient training algorithm, a least square solution for the time domain equalizer coefficients is taken at a starting point and iteratively improved on. In particular, the improvement is directed towards maximizing number of bits per frame loaded over the time domain equalizer coefficient choice. This can be accomplished by maximizing capacity directly rather than setting a goal to shorten the channel and hoping that the capacity will be maximized as a result.
1. A system capable of performing supplemental frequency domain training of a time domain equalizer in a discrete multi-tone modulation (DMT) system comprising:
a transceiver, the transceiver:
entering REVERB,
estimating a channel frequency response,
using a reverb based TDQ (Time Domain Equalizer) training technique to determine a starting TDQ, wherein a number of bits loaded per frame is maximized over a TDQ choice,
performing supplemental training, and
performing additional medley training prior to entering Showtime, wherein a directed search method on a capacity function is used to obtain an improved TDQ.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver includes an ASIC.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver includes a digital signal processor.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver includes a processor.
